In use when you tap the pin the V will compress the split pin and push it thru. Here's a link to an article I wrote about 15 years ago that tells how to tear down a Norinco Tokarev 213 and the use of the punch:

Hey, guys....
Just remembered, here is a link to a thread I started some time ago. There is some Tokarev lore and photos on it. Feel free to add any of your treasures to it!!! http://smith-wessonforum.com/firearm...=block+Russian
Best Regards, Les

Having no Tokarev experience, is a split pin the same as a roll pin?

No, it looks more like a cotter pin. I'll try to find a good example photo to post here. As serger points out, the guns were designed to be "peasant proof", and simplicity and robustness were design characteristics. No offense intended to the "peasants", but their experience was mainly with semi primitive agricultural machines, if any, and they were perceived as being a bit on the heavy handed side. Also had to consider the exigencies of warfare, and the guns needed to be simple to keep running under brutal conditions.
Here's what one looks like...you can see that the end will pop out to fill the recess in the frame, and when you use the proper punch, as described by serger, it will squeeze the end together, and allow it to slide through the smaller opening. If one tries to drive it out with a conventional punch, you will usually break or disfigure the pin. Two of these are used on the Tokarev: one to retain the firing pin, and the other to retain the magazine release:
Best Regards, Les

Had this one a few years back but sold it, Im assuming its a Korean war bring back , appeared to have a parkerized type finish so perhaps field refinished but all numbers matched.
cant find a pic of it assembled right now
The assembled one in the pic is a Polish Radom made Tok.

You know having read this thread again and the link to the Com-Bloc weapons les.b started I dug the 213 out of the safe and handled it again. Right now it's had just under 1500 rounds put thru it by me. About 600 of them were cast 124 gr. It doesn't jam.
And since I got the tokagypt grips to replace the original ones It points well. I just wish I had bought more of the slim 9mm magazines. But back then everyone also thought the 89 dollar SKS's were here to stay.
And thanks everybody for the kind words about the 213 article. I'm glad it was useful.

I'm thinking of converting my Zastava M57 to 9mm and have acquired a 9mm Tokarev barrel and a few other parts/pieces, including a spare 7.62x 25 barrel bushing. I haven't yet found a 9mm barrel bushing, and the 7.62 x25 bushing doesn't work with the 9mm barrel due to different barrel OD's.
The 7.62x25 barrel OD is 0.496" vs the 9mm barrel OD at 0.510".
So....it's looking like I'll have to ream the spare barrel bushing to match the 9mm barrel's OD.
Mic'ing both the 7.62x25 bushing ID's, there is a step in them, with the outer ID measuring 0.499-0.500" and the inner ID at 0.510-0.512".
Question for anyone with a 9mm Tokarev or Zastava: do the 9mm barrel bushings have stepped ID's like the 7.62x25's? If so, what are the respective ID's of the bushings?
-Thanks - S2
