that funky safety that was required to be put in to have them enter the country looks like it could be taken out rather easily.
haven't done so at this point, but did have it out for a while when i was cleaning the pistol. It has a spring holding the hammer off the firing pin in the down position, not sure why it really needs the thumb safety other than a.t.f. requirements.

I take the safeties off Tokarevs as soon as I get them. I typically don't bother TIG welding over the hole, milling it flat, filing, and re bluing. Tokarevs are not show guns.

I got two Chinese Tokarevs though ShotgunNews 15 years ago for $85 each. The guns had ok machining, but the safeties looked like they were made by free hand grinding by unskilled workers [Albanian SKS gas tube like workmanship]. One safety was safe to the rear, and the other pistol had safe to the front.
