Diagram of Tokerov.....

[droog]

I need a web address for a exploded view of a 213 Chinese Tok to see if Im missing a part. The safety wont stay engaged.:(

[Noah Zark]

A common issue with the Chinese Toks with the safety at the left rear of the frame just below the hammer. There is not much of a detent and the lever tends to move readily, especially so under recoil.

Numrich Arms sells a "Safety Fixer" for the Norinco 54 T that provides an effective detent action, their part number 799790. It may work for your 213, but it also requires a pin which they are presently sold out of, but I'm thinking it could be readily made my a 'smith. Give Numrich a call and ask for someone that's familiar with the Norinco Tokarev; see link:

The problem with most published exploded views of the TT33 is that they don't show a safety because the pistol as designed uses the half cock notch as the safety. See this site for an exploded view and an excellent step-by-step disassembly guide with pics of the Norinco 213 by Serger:

Thanks for the info. This is the first Tokarev I have ever handled besides a bring back that a friend of mine brought back from Nam. That one was a Russian gun no safety nickel plated and black baklite grips. This chinese thing a friend brought over for me to fix for him. I think Ill tell him to get a better gun and use that for a wall hanger or a paper weight. I dont think a person could justify the expence to fix it.

The diagram for a Tokarev does not have a safety, other than half cock on the hammer:

I beleive the safeties are just added on to get passed US customs.

I have 7 Tokarevs and I take the safeties off as soon as I get them. I only have one 213, but it gets the same treatment.

[droog]

Yes you are right Somebody in thier infinite wisdom thought they knew better than the designer of the pistol.So they put a saftey on it that not only doesnt work but even may be dangerous.Somebody in D.C. needs to be slapped along side the head for that one.:D

I ordered 2 Chineese 7.62 Tokarevs about 7 years ago through Shotguns News and a local FFL for $85 each.

One was safe in the rear position and the other in the forward. The safeties, where it did not show, had no machined surfaces, but were entirely free hand ground.

I sold the pistols in disgust.
Two stupid moves:
1) I should have kept the pistols as only the safeties were bad.
2) Buying 2 pistols or more in one week from the same FFL gets a form filled out and sent to Washington DC.

I had the same problem with my Norinco 54. Just shooting the gun would move the safety. I finally got fed-up, and took the damn thing off.

I hate safeties anyway!

Now if I could figure out a way to fill the hole, I'd be all set.

[Clark]

VZ24 TIG welded where I made a mistake grinding off the charging hump, for $5 by a gunsmith.

Then I file it smooth and cold blue it.

[weevil]

I've considered having it welded, it would probably be the best fix.

Maybe one of these days, I'll have it done. I've been trying to think of a good do-it-yourselfer fix, but haven't come up with anything.

I am hopeing to have one here real, REAL soon. So is this something I should take off, or do they move as bad on them?
