Attention New Members and those new registering! We had a lot of problems with spammers and bot attacks with the stock measures provided by the software. The 7 for registration was a fix that we came up with on our own that has worked quite well. Yes it is a PIA for both you and administration to put you onto your chosen username. If you come back on and your login does not work retry with your username without the 7. Thanks for joining us from the administration.

Got a Tokarev a while back. Sort of like a Volkswagon: so ugly it's cute

A fun gun but the recoil of the 7.62X25 round is too much for me. Once all my factory ammo is done I can start playing with load development to find one that works for me. On our range it only has to get out to 25 yards so I don't need a barn burner.

BUT ... I wondered if there was another way to go: rebarrel it to a smaller cartridge. 5.6 x 18 looks like it might be more suitable, except apparently it isn't available. I don't want .22 rimfire (I think I saw something about those barrels being available) but maybe a .22 centerfire? .22 jet? Something with the .22 Hornet as the parent case? Or something in .24 or .26 caliber?

Lots of stuff on the internet about rebarreling to something bigger, or rebarreling a 1911, but nothing about kicking it down a notch.

Has anyone got any suggestions? Hopefully just a barrel change or a barrel and bushing, and maybe a magazine or magazine sleeve. I don't want to get into major mechanical stuff. If there is nothing already out there maybe I can make something from a cut down .223 case as long as the most I'll need is a local gunsmith or machinist to make the barrel and chamber reamer.

The head size of the case may be a problem as an extractor slipping on smaller cases and not getting a good grab.
Your better off with a different gun.

I would think that rebarreling to a 9 mm Luger would be a better option because t here are so many loadings available. I have a Chinese Tokarev that came in 9mm.
