YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! I am buying one on Tuesday!!!!!! I have been waiting for this for a while :grin:

 

[jonpo]

Well, I just looked at their site and I saw that they are having a memorial day sale for $25 off. I can't wait till Tuesday. So, well... now I finally have an Md. 57 headed my way!

Thanks, Herbae :beer:

Figures, I am on the road all next week and not home to receive one!

So when did this C&R classification happen? No matter, I ordered one.

 

[jonpo]

It must have happened within the last month. I did quite a bit of research on why it was not C&R a month or so ago and couldn't find any good reason. I was nearly about to write ATF and make my case. Don't need to do that anymore :dance:

[Pervis]

I bought one and its my first TT33! Looks like they have a good price on the P64 pistol too. Also, those Croatian pistols are very interesting I may pick one up down the road.

My buddy received his the other day (hand select) and said it was in beautiful condition. Mine hasn't shipped yet.

UPDATE: Yugoslavian Tokarev M57 is now C&R eligible probably on the basis that Yugoslavia is no longer a country and firearms during the period are now "curios" by definition (similar to Czechoslovakia and East Germany). As a result I added this to the Tokarev collection. It came with an old beat up holster, a cleaning rod and a spare magazine (that only holds 8 rounds). The downside of course is that finding extra M57 magazines is nearly impossible.

This Yugo M57 looks to be in very good to excellent condition. It came drenched in cosmoline as did the spare magazine. One magazine holds nine rounds and the other eight rounds.

I took an hour to strip, go through and clean the cosmoline out of the gun and magazines. I used hot water to loosen the gunk and then wiped it down, followed by spraying with Break Free CLP and brushing out the channels and crevices with a toothbrush. I then wiped down the prts, reassembled and went to the gun club. The M57 is very comfortable with the longer grip than other Tokarevs. After cleaning the trigger is perfect so I have no need for any trigger work. The Tokarev M57 shoots very well as expected with similar results compared to the other Tokarevs in the collection.

Here are some pics.
