That's me on the right
Good Morning all,
I have a Norinco Tokarev (762 x 25mm). Great pistol, very accurate. However, I had a magazine of older ammo (came with the pistol when I bought it) each time I tried to fire it the gun would jam and the bullet would be caught "cocked-eyed" in the chamber. I would remove it and load the next round and the same thing would happen. So I stopped when I got home I cleaned the gun again and purchased new ammo (online) and loaded up 3 of the 5 magazines with that new ammo. It never jammed once. Since that time I have not tried to use the old ammo again. I was told at the range that it could be that the pistol just needed a proper cleaning (thus why I took it home and cleaned it) but I want to see if that old ammo is any good or just junk. Should I try again? Or is this common with older ammo? The ammo is at least 15 years old.
