Nice pistol....CONGRATULATIONS   ..........just bought a Chinese TT 33 myself...? Took it all apart last night and cleaned everything....found it in a pawn shop ($155) in Mineral Wells, Texas....some pitting but I can deal with that (read fix that cause I hate that...)

Does the finger groove magazine floorplate come with that pistol? I'm liking that....  interesting that the Hungarians/ Egyptians added a safety , too, and they had no Gun Control Act of 1968...

The Chinese used a similar "sear block" safety in the same place. The "fire" position is rearward in the Chinese?....

...oh yeah....had to do some trigger work while it was apart....no creep now !!!!

Actually its gone now...sold it for a slight profit...while it shot well, the outside condition of it was much overstated by Empire...the picture was not a true likeness...actual finish was about 50%.....one mag was a piece of junk.

Kivaari:  I know that pawn shop.  I bought a Colt 38 Detective Special from that shop in 1971 (er mebbe it was his father's shop then...).

I once tried learning how to fly helicopters at Fort Wolters in Mineral Wells and even belonged to the Brazos Rod and Gun Club - now I understand Fort Wolters is a residential treatment facility for children.  Anywho, my flying days didn't last long - something about Texas wind and rain storms that come up so suddenly you can't outrun them in a TH55 Huges, and also something about the 1969 first runner up to the Miss Texas Pageant ..... lol.  Mikey.

Kivaari...you had mentioned pitting that you can fix on your TT 33, how do you do that?

I recently bought a Nagant 1895 revolver from a fellow gun club member and I noticed a small spot of rust on the top strap, I buffed it lightly with steel wool and unfortunately it has some minor pitting.  Sure would like to fix that as the rest of the gun is super nice.

Thanks.

Well , you can never really put metal back......ie. pitting.

I did use a flat file with emery paper to smooth the "high" spots; the flat file will preserve the "lines" of the pistol if used properly.

After that I abrasive blasted with 120 grit alum oxide. My original intent was to attempt to "fill" the pitted area with moly finish and then flat file to remove the extra and then subsequently coat the entire weapon. However, I just blew it off as being too much trouble for this one...a moly teflon finished regardless of the pitting... :roll:
