Tokarev Trigger interchangability

redman.com1

hello, does anyone know if the Chinese tt-33 trigger will fit or any different than the Yugo m57 trigger?

TRAP55

Same, lower quality steel in the Chinese version.

v35

Most TT33 parts interchange between Chinese and European guns but the Zastava has a mag safety involving the trigger.
What are you putting the trigger into ?

a m57, which I thought was a zastava?

v35

The Zastava has a notch in the left trigger bar that other Tokarevs don't have .
I will take both apart to get the exact difference.
I believe the standard Tok trigger will go right in but you lose the mag safety. Also a notch can be cut in a std tok trigger and give you the mag safety.
I'll check.
Do you need a trigger?
Chinese parts are as good as any other countries' Tokarev.

v35

Yes, the Chinese or any other Tok trigger will go right in.
From upper left corner of left trigger bar measure 1".
Then cut a slot 1/4 long by 3/32 deep.
First,you need to remove grips, magazine catch,trigger spring pin and trigger spring.
Trigger goes in thru mag well and rocks up into place.
See that mag safety block fits fabricated notch or file for clearance.
Point pistol down range or engage slide safety before releasing slide
catch on loaded magazine.
