Sig in 7.62X25 Tak Caliber?
Does anyone know of a conversion for a classic P Series to the 7.62 Tokarev caliber?

I understand that Dae Woo offered 226's in the 7.62 caliber.

What would I need to change? What mag would I use?

T.I.A.

The P220 has originally also been proposed in 7.65 mm Parabellum (also called 7.65 mm Luger, or .30 Luger), but I have never heard of the P226 also being produced in this caliber, neither of any SIG-Sauer produced in 7.62 mm Tokarev.

None.
While it is possible to kluge up a 1911 to sort of handle 7.62 Soviet, I have never heard of a barrel being made for a real SIG. The Chicom Norinco (Not Korean Daewoo) knockoff undoubtedly has a longer magazine well to accept the long skinny cartridges. Too bad the loopholes that let us get grey market CZ75s through Canada in the Iron Curtain era have been plugged. The Chinese Copy is cheap at Marstar in Ontario.

7.62x25 is a great round but seems the Tokatev is about as good as it gets. Don't carry mine with a round in the chamber.

I had a lead on two different examples of these yellow boxed unicorns. There is also a 9x21 version of the P220 still in production, but also a 9x21 P239 that had slipped my grasp.

Haven't heard of a Tokarev Sig.

There's another (20-round!) option, if Zastava can be convinced to bring it over, but I don't know that any SIGs were ever chambered for that cartridge.

There's also the Norinco knockoff, but that's for Canadians only (if it's still legal up there).

Atlantic Firearms is supposedly going to run the idea by Zastava about importing the pistol that Il Cattivo mentioned. That's what I read on the AK Files.

Sorry folks. Norinko ... not Dae Woo. The older the brain gets, the more it farts.

I've always been a fan of the Russian Tokarev round. The pistol ... not so much. And I vaguely remember of a modern CZ pistol and the Chinese Sig copy being available in 7.62X25.

Oh well.
