Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Handguns yugo tokarev m57

How many magazines come with the pistol? At one time spare mags for the M57 were pricey. Not sure if that's still the case.

Two mags from what I gather.

I shot one several months ago, after the clean up.
Felt like a very powerful pistol with little kick.
Was very fun to shoot.

Ordered one in fact today.

J&G seems to be out of the spam can of Polish ammo.
Anyone know of current stocks please PM or post address please.


Good hog gun---------------

Thanks for the Tok pics, that's the first time I have seen one disassembled.

I just happen to have a (allegedly) NVA-made 1911 barrel, which could be an interesting handloading project. I will need a new Gov't Model 9mm or .38 Super, darn it.

The factory ammo is too long to fit a standard 1911 magazine, but with hollow points and a little deeper bullet seating (and non-Clark caution) I think I could make one run.

two, one in the pistol and one in the holster, if they are still that way.
actually i will be in prescott tomorrow and might have to stop by that story on a different matter that i need to see there.
Some of the first bunch they got in were basically unfired, with new holsters.

they did have yugo ammo last time i was in there, and it is better than polish anyway from what i understand

Lots of 20 round boxes for sale all over the country. I was looking for the 10 cent a round stuff. Found the 70 round box imported stuff for 20 cents a round. Lots of different brands are better than the polish stuff, just wanted it for target practice etc. Thanks for the infor.
All I know is the pistol was fun to shoot, cheap cost to buy, cheap to shoot.

I sure need to apply for the R & C lic.

Pistol is in, missed ammo delivery as I was at the range.


Cleaning: Bucket of mineral spirits, bucket of gas?

Either will work to clean.

Or, strip the firing assembly out, drop that in just enough mineral spirits to cover for two hours. Swish, dump, repeat. Then, RemOil it up.

For the rest; hot water and Simple Green.

Sounds like a winner, Thanks

It will keep you from smelling like gas everytime you pick it up.

An old toothbrush, or 0000 steel wool with the Simple Green and hot water works like a charm.

Be sure to clean the holster and the mags, too. Trust me...

i might comment on another import pistol i picked up recently, and yes, J&G got to me again. These are CZ83's, in .380.
Same thing as a CZ82, except in .380 instead of the 9mm makarov round. Wonderfully made little pistols, with a fixed barrel. I found the 82 to be quite accurate and think the 83 will too. A 13 round steel pocket pistol with a ambi safety.

i use to throw a lot of this stuff for cleaning purposes in a bucket of gas. I find myself anymore using simple green and hot water to get rid of the cosmoline.

I in the past, with a russian Mosin, Boiled the bolt. That seemed to work fine. Never thought of the simple green idea.

Good for you on the 380, I'll pass as the Sig 238 that I own does work fine. Sig's are about $600, how many of the CZ83's could you buy for one Sig?

they are about 230bucks from memory, so with maybe a little discount for three maybe three cz's for one sig

Well I do hope your new CZ works and shoots fine.
Just have to stay away from the old military, like to shoot them to much and collect.
Bad obsession.

Ron,
Do you know if J&G has any good Toks left or did you take them all? I might make a road trip this weedend to grab one if they do.

Spent part of the weekend shooting my Yugo.
About 150 rounds down range.
2 hour mineral spirits, 1/2 toothbrush and simple green and just wiping down and putting back together.

Seems i now need to learn to shoot. Most rounds were hitting low. Will practice much more in the future. Going to learn.
Used Polish rounds, shot @ at 21 feet to about 40 feet.
What really brought home the fact of not being real good is when my brother shot it, everything in a 6 inch circle.
He shot my sig 226 and hit in the fifty cent size twice with it..
@ about 30 feet.
90% of everything I shot, 226, Yugo, 238 all were low shots by a few inches. Time for a class. All were on the target, just not in the 50 cent size. This lefty needs help.
Love the new Yugo.
Very good for the money.

Tested the new C&R.... This came right to my door today - I could not be more pleased with the condition. Faxed FFL, phone ordered, hand select paid, shipped the next business day and it took two days in transit NC (hint) to Oregon. The last pic shows the extent of the wear. C&R baby! OT
