new wraparound grips for tokarev 213
In the process of restoring this raggedy tokarev. my new wrap-around grips just arrived, and I think they make it look more russian. they are much more substantial that the old panel ones, though I've done some dremmeling to them for better ergonomics., I am restoring her to her formal Beauty with a sand blaster and coating products from DuraCoat. what do you think of the tokarev?
I didn’t intend to buy another new gun…
Sincerely no intention to buy a gun this week. Was on my way to a meeting a couple of hours away, saw a gun store I’d never visited, decided to stop in. There was an older woman and a very old gentleman inside. Musty older gun store, mostly milsurps and old hunting rifles. Mannequins with old military uniforms. Dusty wall of leather holsters. You’ve all seen the same store. 5 or 6 new Kimbers in a case, mostly custom 2’s. The desert warrior caught my eye as I’m a sucker for FDE. The tag was missing a price, so I inquired. Lady couldn’t figure it out. Said it had been in the store for “years†and no one had even looked at it to her knowledge. Old man said “I think it’s a few bucks for than the others†(meaning the custom 2’s, which were around $1k). So they just made up a price… and I couldn’t say no.
