No desire to highjack the thread...but....In your opinion which country made the best Toks? It looks like you might have 2 different variants. What do you think...Russian, Romanian, Polish, Chinese (Norinco) ? I know the Czechs have their own design in the CZ-52. I see a smattering of Polish and Rommys available...which is the best?
*edit: I also have one of those PT22's in the same finish, but with the stock rosewood grips - I've not had any issues with it and it's pretty fun to shoot at the range. I'm actually considering making some pocket holsters for it...

Thanks Dick for the kind words on the grips.
Agreed, the little PT-22 is alot of fun (and cheap) to shoot. Don't know about yours, but mine is actually very accurate out to around 15 yds. It is my pocket pistol when the Mrs. and i are out for our morning walk.
Here are 2 of my favorite old milsurp bolt rifles to shoot, both in 7.62X54r. I refinished both stocks only because the shellac finish was so bad it would actually flake off when handling and shooting.
Dom, super nice refinish job on the 1932 Tula and the 1945 Izhevsk M44. Like the blonde wood stock on the M44. Do you get spare parts thru CIA in Georgia, Vt? Ever try to make wooden grips for the P-64s?

SgtP- Thanks for the compliments.
I've not needed any spare parts for the Russian rifles yet (knock on wood). Seems like Ivan built these for rough service. Even with most of the wartime rifles having crude maching marks, mine have all functioned very well so far.
Haven't tried making any grips for my 2 P-64s yet. With all the cutouts, angles and radius, they would be a real challenge.
