So far about all I have found is that it is not a cz-70, and there are no parts available anywhere. Couldn't find magazines, slides, springs, anything. Numirch didn't even have a listing for it, which isn't a good sign. If you do find a place that has parts, list it here, as I may still be interested in one if I can find parts. -Brian

If your pistol is of the .32 caliber, I might post the firing pin measures and pics here, so anybody with a lathe could turn replacement ones for you. If, on the other hand, your pistol is chambered for the 9mm PARA round, then a Tokarev firing pin should fit perfectly. Both Model 70's are still produced at Zastava Arms. Why there's this designation confusion is beyond me, but it's worth noticing there's yet another M70 in the Zastava arsenal - nothing less than a serbian made Kalashnikov also happens to go by that moniker :-) Should you wish to order the original parts, the Zastava web site may be the place to look at. Here it is - http://www.zastava-arms.co.yu

Firing pin with its spring and the rest of the parts that hold it in place... Magazine well. Clearly visible are the date of manufacture 1073 (october 1973) and a nitro powder proof mark ("N" with a star)... Barrel with BTB proof mark (Tormentacija Bezdimnim Barutom - Smokeless Powder Proof) and antlers (Zastava's commercial stamp)... Slide locked in the rear position... M70 is probably the heaviest .32 caliber pistol ever!

I looked at several of those at Makarov.com when they had a retail store and was sorely tempted to pick one up, but they didn't fit my hand too well and I passed on them and grabbed a CZ-82 instead. I sure miss that store. George and Karl were always getting in some neat stuff and always had interesting stories to share.

I have been searching for another mag and a set of replacement grips since I got it, I have a small crack in the left grip. I have a sweet shoulder holster that fits it perfectly but need a mag to fill the spare mag pouch! Also been trying to find some of the common small parts for it, like extractor and recoil spring so I can actually shoot it without worrying about the gun being rendered useless from some freak small parts breakage. Lovely shooter, seems almost too big for a .32 which is why I like it, and it's very accurate and reliable. Sort of a modified Tokarev design. This gun also led me to buy the new Zastava M88 9mm as a "companion" for the CZ-70.
