Anyone own a Yugo M57?

I have one on order and I am looking for opinions and parts availability.
A source to buy mags would be great too!

I am looking to buy one of these shortly, so I've been doing a bunch of reading on it. From what I am reading, parts and magazine availability is an issue with the M57.

However, you can modify CZ-52 magazines (which are pretty easy to find and cheap) to fit the M57. The link below has a how-to with pictures.

I recd 2 mags with mine from j&g so I was happy. If I need more I'll go with the cz-52 mags and cut them as shown in video here! I did see some m57 mags reasonable online but don't have info here on my phone. Google it and I'm sure you'll find it - they were 24 or 29 bucks. Enjoy your tokarev !

Looking for one myself.. anything to look for/look out for with these vintage pistols??

I just had a thought, how does the M57 handle those hot loaded 7.62x25 rounds? The kind meant for a SMG chambered in that caliber? I know the TT33 can handle it but not the CZ52.

i got one, it's alright, toks are one of my favorite pistols next to the mak, J&G sales is the only place i can think of that has them now. 180.00 plus shipping, that's if you have a C&R, here's mine and a few more. correction sog has them so for shipping purposes sog would be the better option
