    I got this Tokarev TT33 for les than $200. Decided to see what I could turn it into. Added a muzzle brake. Milled lightening cuts in slide to speed up cycling. Bobbed the hammer. Lightening cuts in trigger and stoned all contact surfaces. Ameriglo tritium suppressor sights. Milled slide for optic and added a Fastfire. Modified 1911 speed magwell. Custom walnut grips. Built a custom extended slide release and extended magazine release. Added a Picatinny rail to the frame. Custom Cerakote: Graphite/Titanium slide, Burnt Bronze frame. Works great.

    I actually found the grips on EBAY, from Turkey. They are exceptionally well done.
     
    Finally, someone who has modded a TT-33 more than I have. I even sleeved the barrel with a .308, 1/10 liner, tightened everything, worked trigger to a crisp, reliable 5.25 pounds, fiber-optic front sight, and so on.

    Still doesn't group well, whether with factory or handloads.

    Sigh.

    Cheers,
    Richard
     
    5 shots at 15 yds with magech 7.62 x 25. Mag release, slide release, and magwell smooth and fast as my custom combat 1911's.

    Yeah but does it make major PF?

    We do need links to practiscore results man.
     
    Win,Win! If you kick ass, you're awesome. If you don't, well...you know...it's the gun.

    I built this quite a while ago, so I'm not too sure how I mounted the optic. I think I used a mount that fits in a dovetail and just cut a new dovetail.
     
    Frankly, I'm drooling. Have been unable to determine why mine doesn't group well. Have tried handloads and factory.
     
    Well, it's not the minimum bullet diameter that keeps this gun out of IPSC. There is no minimum bullet diameter for major power factor open in IPSC. There is however, a minimum bullet weight which is 120g. Sad, because this gun easily makes major open power factor at with a 110g bullet going 1570 fps using Accurate #5 powder, achieving a power factor of 170.2. I'm not aware of any factory bullet over 110g.

    There is minimum diameter AND caliber. True, IPSC unlike USPSA, have a minimum bullet weight for Major.
    But there is also a minimum caliber/diameter for any division, minor or major under both rule books. Which Is 9x19

    IPSC
    5.1.2 The minimum cartridge case dimension for handguns to be used in IPSC matches is 9x19 mm. The minimum bullet diameter is 9 mm (.354 inches).

    Are you loading the 110-gr bullet that normally is associated with the 30 M1 Carbine? I confess I never thought to try a bullet heavier than the standard 85 gr.

    Richard
     
    I thought you said you were loading a 110-gr bullet. The only other .308 ones of which I'm aware are pointed and, I would think, would extend into the case too far if you were loading to magazine length. That's the problem with loading them into .30 Carbine, unless you single-load.

    Thank you, Richard
     
    Can we get these by the gross?

    My friend George S will rapidly pay via friends and family.

    Please PM with ship info.

    Thank you.

    USPSA has a minimum bullet weight for major power factor in Open division: 112 grains. It's in appendix D1 of the rulebook.

    Now technically there is no minimum bullet weight in Open, since you can shoot lighter bullets than 112 grains but you'll get scored as minor power factor regardless of the actual power factor the load makes.

    And shooting open minor is dumb.

    Anyway I doubt @buffalowinter gives a shit and he's having fun with his guns.
     
    sorry, missed that about the USPSA rulebook. I shoot IPSC and I didnt look at the appendix.

    A difference under IPSC if you use a bullet under 120gr and it still meets Major, it is declared unsafe and must be withdrawn.
    Special conditions: 14. Ammunition which fails to meet the minimum bullet weight above, but which chronographs at Major power factor, will be treated as unsafe and must be withdrawn (see Rule 5.5.6). If the weight of the first bullet weighed under Rule 5.6.3.3 fails to meet the minimum bullet weight required for Major power factor, Rule 5.6.3.7 will apply, and a second bullet will be weighed as a final and definitive bullet weight test.

    Yea we don't have that rule. That's how many who shoot 9x19 Open major here in the US do so with 115 grain projectiles.

    The fact that we can do it safely makes me wonder about IPSC's motivation behind the rule you cited.
