Does someone have the shank and thread specs for this free pistol. I think having the tooling ready before I try to turn this barrel off would be handy.

I have a TOZ barrel that is removed, but have no way to measure a metric thread. Why are you putting a new barrel on it? Usually the TOZ barrels shoot good.

My Toz is one of those junk guns that Russia dumped into the US a while back. It shoots better than I can, but the crown is not perfect and the exterior is horribly pitted over the fore end. It is way more than I want to try to polish out. I am considering a number of options: I can buy a replacement barrel, I can buy a barreled receiver, or I can buy a drop from a gunsmith, then thread and chamber it.

So it still shoots okay? Ceracote it maybe: Pimp my Toz.

Toz are always a bit of a turd, even when they are minty - they will win no beauty competitions but often they are supremely accurate.

Whilst you're at it spiral flute the barrel, add a side cocking lever, and a blow up comp.

Google image search "daryl szarenski" if you are after a few examples of a turd being polished (Not daryl, the toz)!

Larry's Guns had barreled Toz actions for pretty cheap, maybe you could go that route?

I am planning to call Larry come Monday. I find it hard to believe its not a typo.

Oh Come on, Russian stuff has that "Thor and Buelha hammered it out on hollow tree stumps with blacksmiths hammers" coolness about it. Russian stuff, even their fighter planes, is a bit agricultural at times. But MAAN they shoot....

Goes to prove that you can't judge a book by its cover.

Unless the rifling it badly pitted you could have it shot peened, re crowned, and blued.
