Group buy: TT-33 wartime pistols, unmodified

[laxmann31]

I found a surplus store in canada that has wartime surplus tokarev TT-33 pistols in great condition and in stock for 200. I also found an importer that can get them here. I emailed then today and waiting for a response on whether or not they are willing to send to the US. If you are interested in a unmolested (ghetto safeties) tokarev post in here. Greater the number to import the cheaper it is for everyone. The total for 5 pistols will hopefully be about 300-350 each, much cheaper than the 700 unmodified toks on gunbroker.

I'm super interested, but I don't know how I'd sneak this past the wifey...

 

[cerebus85]

would an importer have to do it or could any ffl holder do it?

They'll be modified like the rest of them. In order to get in to the country they have to follow certain ATF regulations. Unfortunately modifying them to have a safety is part of a regulation they have to follow.

Even having been made so long ago?

Yep.

Somehow I think this group buy from over two months ago has been abandoned. Especially since the OP has'nt had any activity since 03-08-12.

 

[Valvestate]

True, but this is probably the Canadian store he's talking about.

It's a sad state of affairs when you can get guns in Canada, of all places, that you can't get here.

ive been looking at the pistols for a long time. i think that they would be a fun shooter but it seems like they are either here and gone or super expensive, especially locally. I would be down for one

Yup, and to think that rimfire supressors in the UK only cost $30-$60, no tax stamp, no six month wait in a land of uber-restrictive firearm laws.

If these Russian TT-33's could come in without safeties I'd pony up for a half dozen or more.

These would be better

Norinco M305 (M14)

also a Canadian guy on Reddit said you can get SVT 40s as easily as SKSs and at the same price point.

Here are some other nice guns available in Canada but not the US.

Marstar Canada - Full Auto

Marstar Canada - Norinco Pistols

Marstar Canada - WWII German MP-40 (G-MP-40)

I have a good feeling after it's all said and done the import, shipping & transfer fees will kill any "deal". The end price will be more towards $600 a pop per Tok.

If you can nail down some more specific figures on the final OTD cost I maybe interested.

Why in the world would anyone pay 350 or more for a t-33? I traded for the norinco version (54) and I didn't give near that. They are fun to shoot and when you can find it, ammo is cheap, but I can't imagine that price. As far as the safety goes, Mine has never worked correctly and is just ugly, but never affected the operation.

 

[cerebus85]

maybe this group buy should go towards the 75$ sks deal instead.

btw way it clearly says shipping upwards of 400 dollars.

 

[Gunaria]

Well at this point I say this thread and idea sounds dead.

 

[cerebus85]

i second that notion.
