Sidearms & Scatterguns Tokarev TT33 IPSC/3-Gun Custom Race Pistol...NOW WITH SHOT GROUP TEST

[buffalowinter]

I got this Tokarev TT33 for les than $200. Decided to see what I could turn it into. Added a muzzle brake. Milled lightening cuts in slide to speed up cycling. Bobbed the hammer. Lightening cuts in trigger and stoned all contact surfaces. Ameriglo tritium suppressor sights. Milled slide for optic and added a Fastfire. Modified 1911 speed magwell. Custom walnut grips. Built a custom extended slide release and extended magazine release. Added a Picatinny rail to the frame. Custom Cerakote: Graphite/Titanium slide, Burnt Bronze frame. Works great.

Lenin himself just got a woodie!

That is just too cool!

As usual, BW... the vision to turn something strange into something beautiful... turns out well!

Cheers, Sirhr!

Ok... show us what can you do with a Makarov!

 

[sirhrmechanic]

Oh. How did you do the checkering on top of grips. It looks non-standard?

Cheers, Sirhr

 

[buffalowinter]

I actually found the grips on EBAY, from Turkey. They are exceptionally well done.

 

[Kadams1563]

I remember a guy did this with a HKP7. Turned out pretty damn awesome.

 

[rg1911]

Finally, someone who has modded a TT-33 more than I have. I even sleeved the barrel with a .308, 1/10 liner, tightened everything, worked trigger to a crisp, reliable 5.25 pounds, fiber-optic front sight, and so on.

Still doesn't group well, whether with factory or handloads.

Sigh.

Cheers,
Richard

 

[buffalowinter]

5 shots at 15 yds with magech 7.62 x 25. Mag release, slide release, and magwell smooth and fast as my custom combat 1911's.

 

[308pirate]

Yeah but does it make major PF?

We do need links to practiscore results man.

 

[308pirate]

Kinda sorta reminds me of this

 

[buffalowinter]

Win,Win! If you kick ass, you're awesome. If you don't, well...you know...it's the gun.

 

[Kelvi]

Tokarev TT33 optic cut out
how deep did you go?

 

[buffalowinter]

I built this quite a while ago, so I'm not too sure how I mounted the optic. I think I used a mount that fits in a dovetail and just cut a new dovetail.

 

[rg1911]

Frankly, I'm drooling. Have been unable to determine why mine doesn't group well. Have tried handloads and factory.

 

[Halfnutz]

Just because you can, Doesn't mean you should.

Turned out nice though!

 

[Cardinal]

Yeah but does it make major PF?

Technically not relevant since its not legal in IPSC/USPSA.

Nice work though

 

[308pirate]

True forgot about the min bullet diameter

 

[buffalowinter]

Well, it's not the minimum bullet diameter that keeps this gun out of IPSC. There is no minimum bullet diameter for major power factor open in IPSC. There is however, a minimum bullet weight which is 120g. Sad, because this gun easily makes major open power factor at with a 110g bullet going 1570 fps using Accurate #5 powder, achieving a power factor of 170.2. I'm not aware of any factory bullet over 110g.

There is minimum diameter AND caliber. True, IPSC unlike USPSA, have a minimum bullet weight for Major.
But there is also a minimum caliber/diameter for any division, minor or major under both rule books. Which Is 9x19

IPSC

5.1.2 The minimum cartridge case dimension for handguns to be used in IPSC matches is 9x19 mm. The minimum bullet diameter is 9 mm (.354 inches).

USPSA:

5.1.2 The minimum cartridge case dimension for firearms to be used in USPSA matches is 9x19 mm. The minimum bullet diameter is 9 mm (.354 inches).

 

[buffalowinter]

OK, not legal for IPSC/USPSA.

Nyet... Nyet...

Kreblach, Boris and Vlad approve. We want in Adidas edition with stripes, Da?

Most excellent comrade... We pay in rubles, yes?

Are you loading the 110-gr bullet that normally is associated with the 30 M1 Carbine? I confess I never thought to try a bullet heavier than the standard 85 gr.

Richard

 

[buffalowinter]

I'm not but, yes, people load the .30m1 carbine bullet for the Tokarev

 

[rg1911]

I thought you said you were loading a 110-gr bullet. The only other .308 ones of which I'm aware are pointed and, I would think, would extend into the case too far if you were loading to magazine length. That's the problem with loading them into .30 Carbine, unless you single-load.

Thank you, Richard

 

[pmclaine]

Can we get these by the gross?

My friend George S will rapidly pay via friends and family.

Please PM with ship info.

Thank you.

USPSA has a minimum bullet weight for major power factor in Open division: 112 grains. It's in appendix D1 of the rulebook.

Now technically there is no minimum bullet weight in Open, since you can shoot lighter bullets than 112 grains but you'll get scored as minor power factor regardless of the actual power factor the load makes.

And shooting open minor is dumb.

Anyway I doubt @buffalowinter gives a shit and he's having fun with his guns.

 

[Cardinal]

sorry, missed that about the USPSA rulebook. I shoot IPSC and I didnt look at the appendix.

A difference under IPSC if you use a bullet under 120gr and it still meets Major, it is declared unsafe and must be withdrawn.

Special conditions: 14. Ammunition which fails to meet the minimum bullet weight above, but which chronographs at Major power factor, will be treated as unsafe and must be withdrawn (see Rule 5.5.6). If the weight of the first bullet weighed under Rule 5.6.3.3 fails to meet the minimum bullet weight required for Major power factor, Rule 5.6.3.7 will apply, and a second bullet will be weighed as a final and definitive bullet weight test.

Yea we don't have that rule. That's how many who shoot 9x19 Open major here in the US do so with 115 grain projectiles.

The fact that we can do it safely makes me wonder about IPSC's motivation behind the rule you cited.
