BrutalGardener 205 Posted April 29, 2011 Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 Came upon this deal on SlickGuns.com. Classic Arms is offering these very nice looking, shiny, hard chromed Yugo M57s for $270. The mags that they come with are chromed too! I kind of want one. These Yugo Toks are fun as hell. My buddy and I blasted thousands of Polish Surplus rounds through ours over the past couple of weeks, just abusing the hell out of them! It's been some of the best fun with guns that we ever had! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KC913 324 Posted April 29, 2011 Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 (edited) Very nice. As long as the chrome holds up. I love my M57. Wish I would have picked up an extra one from JG and 4 more cans of ammo before it dried up and doubled in price. Edited April 29, 2011 by KC913 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

echoside190 127 Posted April 29, 2011 Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 If the chrome holds up well on it I could see using it as a companion fishing and for the outdoors. Can't beat the reliability and price tag on em and the added corrosion resistance. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BrutalGardener 205 Posted April 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 I like the additional elements/corrosion resistance, but I won't lie here... I also think that it looks pretty "gangsta" (in a good way). LOL. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BrutalGardener 205 Posted April 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 OMG! J&G ran out of Polish suprlus Tok rounds?!? Man, this suck. My buddy, in particular, is not going to be happy about it, since he's been blasting through his three spam cans like a madman. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I was bummed about it too when I went to order 4 more cans and they were gone. Now they're going for $130 to $180 per can. $90.00 was such a nice price. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KC913 324 Posted May 2, 2011 Report Share Posted May 2, 2011 I called Classic Arms and was informed that they are actually more of a brushed stainless chrome finish than a bright nickel finish. This pleases me. I just ordered one. Will post pics when I pick it up. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Shandlanos 1,470 Posted May 3, 2011 Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 I've seen a few of the hard-chromed guns sold by Classic Arms, and bought a leftover chromed AK mag for them just for the hell of it. The floorplate looks like brushed stainless, and the sides look like they're crappily spray-painted silver. On the Yugo underfolder I saw, different parts of the gun took the finish differently. Mostly they look like brushed stainless, with a few places (including the RSB) that almost looked like galvanized steel - more gray than silver. Hard chrome produces a much different finish from the way they chrome vehicle parts - pretty sure that process involves a layer of copper, a layer of (nickel maybe?), and finally the layer of chrome. Hard chrome tends to be a little flatter and not as blingy. Je prefer. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KC913 324 Posted May 9, 2011 Report Share Posted May 9, 2011 Spoke with them again today and they have some coming back this week from being chromed. Hopefully my order is part of that batch. We shall see. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BrutalGardener 205 Posted May 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2011 I'll post pics when I get mine too. I recently received my second regular M57. My first one was from J&G and this one from Classic Arms. I paid for hand select, but the condition is kind of meh compared to my first gun and my friend's three guns. Not bad, by any means, but noticeably worse. I'm hoping that someone will import more surplus ammo soon. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Now if KeepShooting.com would offer another group buy on their CZ-52 magazines for $12.00 I could stock up on plenty of magazines for both M57 pistols. Would be nice if they did another run of them with the notch pre-cut for mag catch to function in both the CZ-52 and M57. Sure they would sell a shitload of them.

BrutalGardener 205 Posted May 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 I read some guy on Zombie Squad say that he talked to a major distributor and that guy said that there is no more surplus 7.62x25 mm coming. It has dried up. I sure hope that isn't true. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KC913 324 Posted May 10, 2011 Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 That's what I was told by 2 distributors as well. Can barely find it under $200 per can with shipping now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

KC913 324 Posted May 16, 2011 Report Share Posted May 16, 2011 (edited) When did you order yours, SpetsnazGRU? Mine still isn't here. Edit to add: Looks like your front sight is a little off as well. Did it ship like that or did you adjust it yourself? Edited May 16, 2011 by KC913 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

KC913 324 Posted May 17, 2011 Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 Picked mine up today. Beautiful. Almost makes me want to sell my blued M57 and pick up another hard chromed. Sights were also off on mine. No biggie. This one actually has more stampings on it than my blued one, which I dig. Great deal for $279.00. I also picked up the $10.00 UTG holster when I placed my order. Decent little "tactical" holster. Nothing to use for daily carry. Couple quick pics: 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dandiesel 16 Posted May 17, 2011 Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 are the safeties reliable on these, like good enough to carry cocked and locked? Also any thumbbreak holsters for carry? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The safeties are the best that you will find on any Tok, but I still wouldn't trust them with my life. I'd carry this half-cocked. Not sure about the holsters. Sorry.

KC913 324 Posted May 17, 2011 Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 are the safeties reliable on these, like good enough to carry cocked and locked? Also any thumbbreak holsters for carry? Safeties on both of mine function perfect. I've test fitted my M57 in a few different full size 1911 holsters and they seem to fit fine. They're slightly thinner than a 1911, though, so an adjustable holster is ideal. A 1911 thumb break would probably work since the adjustable strap would keep it secure. I'm impressed with the cheap $10.00 UTG holster I ordered with it. I never really buy UTG stuff, but, it will serve it's purpose. May order a couple more since they're so cheap.

KC913 324 Posted May 18, 2011 Report Share Posted May 18, 2011 (edited) Just got an email from KeepShooting.com with a coupon code for 20% off. Perfect time to get more CZ-52 magazines for the M57. Comes out to $17.00 each shipped for 7 or more. Might have to pick up a few more of their Saiga 12 magazines as well.

Dandiesel 16 Posted May 23, 2011 Report Share Posted May 23, 2011 so I Got a couple m-57's coming today, and am looking at ammo now.... should I wait to buy a lot of it untill more is imported? ive heard the prices go up and down alot depending on when new shipments come in. IS there likely to be a significant price drop/new shipment soon? everything seems to be over 0.32 a rnd with shipping fight now... is that normal? high? seems slightly high for surplus. thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
