uncledoc Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 One of my friends inherited some bullets, but he does not know what gun will shoot this cartridge On the brass head, it has a number 53 and 33 on opposite sides. As per the pic, there is a symbol but I can not make it out. The brass is similiar to a rifle round in that it has a neck down portion. Any help would be appreciated. . . thanks! .

Absocold Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 7.62x25 Tokarev, manufactured in Czechoslovakia, probably steel core. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TDA Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 It could also possibly be 7.63 x 25 for a Mauser pistol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Absocold Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Doubt it. And I wouldn't try shooting a Tokarev out of a Mauser. Mauser in a Tok is fine but Tok in a Mauser = kaboom. Standard warnings about shooting *any* ammo you yourself didn't buy in a factory box from a reputable store or load yourself etc etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uncledoc Posted October 4, 2015 Author Share Posted October 4, 2015 Thank you to everyone for your replies! Now my friend will have to look for a gun that will shoot the ammo. I am curious as to how his in-laws ended up with the ammo.....I am not sure how much he has at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
