Yugo M57 Tokarev..ongoing problem

[jcj]

I'm running out of patience for my Yugo Tokarev. I am posting this in hopes that [i]someone [/i]on TGO has worked on one and has some words of wisdom.

Since I purchased this thing in 2011 my Yugo Tok has been plagued by the trigger not resetting after each shot. In the Tokarev action, the trigger pushes straight back and "slides" down and back up on a trigger spring during recoil. Mine isn't resetting.. After each shot the trigger is tilted in the action and is locked up until I reach up the mag-well and push up on the trigger to re-seat it.

I have replaced...everything. I put a new hammer assembly, new trigger spring, and a new recoil spring in the gun. Same problem. I tried removing the thumb safety since that is known to cause problems. Same issue. Two different mags, shooting without the grips installed... All the same problem.



I've been tempted to just buy [i]another[/i] one (that hopefully works) and seeing if I can find any differences.

What am I missing? These guns are [i]so [/i]simple in design I feel dumb for not being able to get this one running.

not sure about your problem but I have one. If you are ever in the Knox/Seymour area we could have a look and compare the two.

Have you looked at he M57 You Tube videos? There's a bunch. Several deal with problems.
