Effect of hot/Tokarev loads on Broomhandle???

When the area behind bolt stop was very distorted, operator would notice (1) the barrel could not fully return to its forward position; (2) the trigger did not work anymore. The previous owner might try to solve the problem by moving the locking lug under the receiver a little bit, but that's the hard way leading to nowhere.

It must have worked; I cleaned off quite a bit of fired powder, and there were fresh brass marks on the bolt/extractor.

I'm amazed that whoever did it actually could get in there to file down the braze...

Lockwork/hammer/safety all look very good; no excessive wear, no burrs...

Another interesting project...
