Doesn't hurt to check a 2nd 'opinion'...

Edit: Interesting Tokarev site -

Believe me I've been looking for alternate sources, just no luck so far!

I even found a google listing of someone talking about the same issue but when I try to go to it the site is gone and there is no cached version unfortunately.

Yes I like that site, i read it while I was still looking for a Tokarev. Too bad it is only on the Chinese variant the 213 & not specifically my Yugoslavian one. Though it supposedly shouldn't make a difference because it is supposed to be the same on all the variants that the hammer group (also known as "Fire Control Group") should just pull out once the slide assembly is off!
