One of my favorite pistols is my 7.62 x 25 Tokarev. I haven't had to make brass for it. And I can't see that ever happening,,,, I have plenty and it's not hard on brass. But I did completely go through mine and cleaned it up. Took out all the commie machine marks. Even up'ed all the angles and gave it a more polished presentation. Did a clean basic parkerize job on it. New firing pin, rollers and all new springs. I bought a couple of old stock new barrels for it because the original one was all blacked out and nasty. New barrels were junk. So I cleaned the original up. Slugged it out and it was slightly undersized so I worked it out by hand and reparkerized it inside and out. I worked on the trigger just a bit. It's now one of my best shooting pistols and it does not care what ammo it shoots. Old or new ammo,, subgun ammo, White Box or whatever ammo is available on the market. It always hits in the same place. It's just some takes a bit longer to get there and you have to hold high. It does like a zippy round off my bench. It does get carried and is in my HD/SD rotation. It will eat a bullseye up with the best of them.
