My first Broomhandle

There were zillions of these imported from China in the 80s.
Most were in pretty sorry condition.

They had bought lots of them from Mauser earlier on.

Some companies, like the defunct FEDORD refurbished them with varying success and sold them off.
They converted a lot of them to 9mm, but retained the 7.63 rear site.
They were pretty cheap, but rough.

Don't fire 7.62 x 25 Tokarev, no matter what anybody says.
It will soon and definately beat your pistol to death.
