Re: Lever-action Tokarev (Video)

Tycer, I like taking the gun away from my cheek. That way I get to watch the little shells eject and make sure that nothing is amiss. You have to remember that I am an Engineer and half the fun for me is watching all the mechanical bits do their jobs in unison! Kaschi, I might just do that. I am get...

Re: Lever-action Tokarev (Video)

Harry, I never noticed the puff of smoke til you pointed it out. I am not sure what it was. I don't save the cases, as the bullets are so hot that they split 95% of the cases at the 3 dot crimps! I am not worried about it. I cleaned the gun when I got home and it looks great. It has about 250-300rds...

Lever-action Tokarev (Video)

Hey guys! Sorry it took me so long to get this video up. We have launched a new product at work and I am happy to say it is doing great! But the flip side of that is that I have been having to work like crazy. No time to shoot or work on projects really. Today was the first time I have fired this gu...

Re: Lever-action Tokarev

Thanks everyone for the feedback! Finished my 1940's French MAS (in .45 Winchester Magnum) tonight and wanted to post a few photos! Not sure if this should be a new topic, but here it is: MAS-01-small.jpg MAS-02-small.jpg MAS-03.jpg MAS-04.jpg Note: the mag well inserts are custom made to fit right ...

Re: Lever-action Tokarev

Zero problems with bullet setback. The recoil is very light. The ammo only has a "3 dot" crimp, but appears to be well held in. I have only pushed one bullet deeper in the case. That was during testing when the carriage failed to go all the way up and I still tried to cycle the action. It ...

Re: Lever-action Tokarev

Time to 'fess up - are you a gun smith???? Pop Worse, an Engineer. People tell me all the time that this or that can't be done. It's my job to do it. Guns are just a fun hobby. I am fortunate enough to have apprenticed under a 30+year machinist and have access to some decent machines. Although, I r...

Re: Lever-action Tokarev

Pete,

The top mount safety is staying, just so the gun looks stock. Plus, I don't need any extra sights. I just point, shoot, and hit. I can't do that with any other guns but levers.

Re: Lever-action Tokarev

AJMD,

No suppressors for this gun! A suppressor is going on my SBR M-11 project. It should be in in 2 months.

Re: Lever-action Tokarev

Ok, I am sensing some interest! Yes, the bullet feeding was the toughest part. I had the gun firing in only a month (single shot only). Getting the ammo to feed from the tube mag took another 4 months! (That was only working a few hours a night on the weekends only.) Currently it is only holding 7 r...

Lever-action Tokarev

Glad to be on-board as a new member. I have only recently gotten into lever guns (about a year and a half ago) and found out 2 things. 1. They are tremendous fun, and 2. I can somehow hit anything I aim at with my lever's. It's the darndest thing. I have always enjoyed odd calibers, and decided that...
