Hello, my first post on this forum...
I bought a Tokarev TTC a few weeks ago. I fired 50 rnds of Winchester 7.62x25 through it just fine. But lately I have only been able to obtain cheap surplus ammo.
Since I have been shooting this stuff, the hammer does not always recock. Its as if the sear is not always catching the hammer. I'm not sure, maby the old surplus ammo is not hot enough to push the hammer all the way back.
The strange thing is, if I have a looser grip on the gun, the hammer catches every time perfect.(I think the recoil kicks it back) If I have a tight grip(less recoil) on the gun, it does not catch and I have to recock the hammer between shots. I havent been able to obtain better ammo lately to see if thats the problem.
If it turns out to not be the ammo causing the problem, what else would cause this? The recoil spring? Or maby the hammer assembly? The gun fires no matter what every shot as long as it is cocked, so I wouldnt think it would be the firing pin spring.
