The Tokarev Type 54 was originally produced in the 1950's and would be an incredible addition to any collection. DISCLAIMER: All firearms presented in this video are in compliance with federal, state, and local laws.
Tokarev is actually a very interesting gun. It's very raw when stock, but I've seen one with heavy modding - it's a damn blaster and 7.62x25 is underrated and overlooked round.
They come back fast, but PSA will likely sell out before then. There are other retailers that have them priced decently, but of course, support PSA first. They’re good people.
I got mine when it was 49 dollars 3 years ago ammo has been a pain to find up to 300 rounds at 50 a box most of the time while trying to build everything else up. Yall should make 7.62x25 and 9x18 mak ammo along with the 545 and 7.62x39
I have a Norinco 9mm model. It was great when we first got it, but now it's a paperweight. The slide is getting caught on the hammer assembly somehow and causes the slide to lock back or out of battery. It's definitely rubbing, but I dont know how to fix the issue and dont want to grind any parts unnecessarily. So until I can find someone with more knowledge than me it sits where it is.
Can it be used as a file? Looking at that "Very Good Condition" patina. Was half expecting Palmetto State Armory to say how they're making they're own Tokarevs for sale.
I would love to see some Serbian pattern Tokarev pistols, because they have a longer grip and 9 round magazine. I know Zastava still displays them on their website but I can't recall the last time I saw them in stock anywhere online.
They should make it as well as 9 Mak in huge numbers. There needs to be a lot more pistol ammo production of stuff that isn't 9mm or .45ACP -those are being produced in massive quantities and the price is really coming down. Just about everything else is still fairly hard to get and very expensive in comparison.
I was really hoping they were going to make a clone of the moder polymer double stack 7.62x25 pistol China has when I saw the caliber in the notification
I love what you guys do. Love your guns. Love your mission. What I cannot stand is your “daily deals” advertisement prices. Claiming something was “X” price being several hundred more, and on sale for “X” price, and it was NEVER, anywhere on the internet the price you claim to have “reduced” it from. The CZ Shadow 2 compact being an example. It shows reduced from $1,999. It has never been $2k, anywhere. It’s intentionally misleading. I’ve seen things listed that have caught my eye, I go back the next day to buy it. And it’s on the daily deals now, and marked UP from the original price. That’s my one big complaint I have. otherwise great company doing greats things, I support that with my hard earned money. but that needs to stop
I feel like PSA should produce the Tokarev under their brand. Soviet designs should be PSA’s main focus as they are really already more known for their American made AKs. Why not add the Tokarev to their catalog?
Neat collectors piece. Not very practical but it will probably be worth 3x what it is selling for now once they are all gone like every other "cheap" surplus import. I wish I had bought 10 more Polish P-64s back when they first hit the market and were selling for under $150 each.
I bought mine for $200 Canadian rubles(146.00 Freedoms) and was devastated to learn that when I move to the USA later next year, I would be unable to import it 😞
@@sandwichartist5053Yep! Also the only reason I haven’t purchased a Type 81, because I know I’ll be moving soon and I won’t be able to bring it with me. Womp womp.
gotta love all the ancient fossils in the comments sayin "back in my day, i could get a Mosin, a Tokarev, a Makarov and 500 rounds for the price of one of these."
Military surplus guns only go up in value as they start to dry up and are all bought up. The time to buy is when they are first released to the public in the USA and are at their cheapest. These old Soviet guns aren't being made any more and never will be again. Many of these would cost a lot to produce today since they were often pretty labor intensive to make. There was a lot of hand machining that went into them and that costs mucho dinero these days.
@@svbarryduckworth628But there are millions of them in circulation and the impending boomer death wave will drive the sale of those collections in the coming years. Nagants and Tokarevs are going to be relatively plentiful and cheap again once people realize how many are stuffed away in old dudes' closets and how few young people want to invest in old military rifles. And the problem is they don't have the tactical value of a modern piece. For a hundred ducks less you can get a CZ p10f that is a much more modular modern fighting pistol. That means these are just for collectors, not serious shooters. I love old guns, but the investor value proposition isn't there.
@@svbarryduckworth628these aren't drying up any time soon. The Vietnamese have warehouses full of these things. People are just stupid now and pay outrageous prices for it.
@@anameofsomesort959it could also be because it's the lowest price they're able to buy. Thats why I got their last surplus pistols (Beretta model 84 bb), but arguably there's more resale value to that pistol compared to the Chinese tokarev
I have the exact same pistol. I bought new in the early 90's. Does not have 100 rounds through it. Figured I would sell it to a collector when i found someone wanting it.
Next year at this time it'll be $100 more and even more the year after. Surplus guns like these only get more expensive from the point they are first introduced.
@@svbarryduckworth628the market has gotten dumber, these haven't grown in value (outside of inflation) at all. But as long as idiots like you are fine paying the price or more, they'll continue to go up.
