An old friend gave me a Norico 213 9mm. Serial # 390126xx.

Grips are missing as well as the magazine. Original grips developed cracks and fell apart. Gun shoots great!

Is it worth tracking down a set of grips and magazine(s)?

Old guy at gunshop just laughed when I showed it to him.

Please share any information you can.

thanks

I love mine, It was the gun i learned to shoot on. They are not drop safe, but fun range guns. for grips they are the same as tokarevs except the norinco had a safety slapped in when imported (some tok's did too). you can find norinco grips or take your safety out and do tokarev grips, these will range from 15-100 depending on quality and material with plastic on low end and wood on the high end. Mags are on GB and other shops and are around 15 - 30 for a mag depending on its quality.

Grips that will cover the safety hole if you decide to remove it
Grips with safety gone

for install you can see him do the grips around the 8 min mark

Tokarev question in the Makarov forum?

You'll get more hits in the C&R subsection under Armory regarding Tokarevs.

Probably true, but love for Russian handguns doesn't end at Markovs
That said a lot of people don't realize the 213 is just a redesigned tok in 9mm
