Hello,
What is everyone thoughts on the new R guns chinese tokarevs? May buy a few of them and preserve them in cosmoline and a can for future generations.
One to shoot too
Thoughts for the price of $350 ea? Look very very nice
It would be better if they were Soviet, or from one of the buffer countries. I am sure the Chinese ones are made the same, but right now my opinion of the communist Chinese is lower than hammered shit. It was never that high to begin with, but since Covid.....
Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.
Don't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting; but never hit soft.

As we now live in interesting times there is no longer a " normal" price range on most firearms and ammo. You could try gunbroker.com and see if anyone is selling them. If your dealer has them for 350 then I guess that is the price. Around here it isn't what firearm you want and how much it goes for, it's whatever is left, and whatever you have to pay for it. I don't see that sellers market ending anytime soon for anything that can shoot.

What German stuff? This was about Tok pistols. The Chinese dumped so much stuff here in the early 90's I don't remember it all, but I would think we have seen these type pistols before from just about everyone. I haven't kept track.

Interesting. That post was suppose to be for that beretta post I made. You showed me a bloody k98 bayonet? If you ever want to sell that let me know .I love battle damaged weapons especially German
You would love the K98k with shrapnel scars on the stock. Everything has a not for sale price, you just have to figure out how much that is.
