![]() ![]() The Yugo arms pattern are quite robust with all steel construction. Yugoslavian M57 Flare pistol 26.5mm was produced in Yugoslavia military use during the Cold War. ![]() These Zastava M57 Tokarev’s are unissued and in “like new” condition.Description Yugo M57 Flare Gun- No Holster Bag These pistols use a proprietary M57 magazine. Many newer variants have manual safeties added, these vary greatly in placement and function. The Tokarev omitted a safety catch other than the half cock notch which rendered the slide inoperable until the hammer was pulled back to full cock and then lowered manually to the half cock position. In modern times the robust Tokarev has been converted to many extremely powerful cartridges including. Able to withstand tremendous abuse, large numbers of the Tokarev pistols were produced during World War II and well into the 1950s. The 7.62×25mm cartridge is powerful, has an extremely flat trajectory, and is capable of penetrating thick clothing and soft body armor. The Tokarev is chambered for the 7.62×25mm Tokarev cartridge, which was itself based on the similar 7.63×25mm Mauser cartridge used in the Mauser C96 pistol. Production even machined the magazine feed lips into the removable hammer group to prevent damage and misfeeds when a distorted magazine was loaded into the magazine well. ![]() ![]() Some models use a captive recoil spring secured to the guide rod which does depend on the barrel bushing to hold it under tension. The Soviet engineers made several alterations to make the mechanism easier to produce and maintain, most notably is that the locking lugs go all around the barrel (not just on top), the side and bottom portions do not perform a locking function, but allow for simpler production. This assembly is removable from the pistol as a modular unit and includes cartridge guides that provide reliable functioning. In other areas, the Tokarev differs more from Browning’s designs - it employs a much simpler hammer/sear assembly than the M1911, with an external hammer. Externally, the Tokarev is very similar to John Browning’s blowback operated FN Model 1903 semiautomatic pistol, and internally it uses Browning’s short recoil dropping-barrel system from the M1911 pistol. ![]()
