Yugoslavian M57 Blindfold Challenge: Field Strip Disassembly and Reassembly

[StewyBones]

I love boobies too!

[HiCapacity]

Did ya see my norinco ?

[20thcenturyfilmdocs]

Yeah, that's the problem with the Romanian TTC, that spring on that gun is loose and flies all over the place on me...if I had to do it blindfolded, I'd just give up and go get my wife's revolver in a pinch LOL

[Kampfertum891]

The point of the articulation IS both the dissasembly and reassembly, also since the these pistols were mass produced for the Russian Military the slides may not follow slide grooves "smoothly" so in action the guide rod would need "play" or the fun would explode in the user's hand....

[eltenda]

nice job!!

[Shadowhawk176]

Now I know what they mean by the expression "girl after my own heart". Very nicely done on all counts. Looking forward to seeing more.

[BigJT2010]

handguns seem to get less complicated over time... ever taking taken apart a single action revolver? its a whole new world of confusion. now most automatic handguns are made in under 15 pieces.

[vargasmongo]

it is a nice looking gun, and of course the girl too both are beautiful lol. damn I'm confuse lol

[bigmodaco]

Hey Des can you make your next video with a metallic grey manicure, that would be awesome, BTW this vid is awesome, love you...

[guns4good]

How did I miss this video? This is the first time I've seen it. As a loyal FoD fan...I FAIL! :-(

[poolperson1]

LoL I finally found a female outside of my close friends and family that I wouldn't be completely nervous going to the range with!!! I like your style girl!! Keep doing what your doing.

[Tocomir]

Crvena Zastava M57 is almost the exact copy of Russian Tokarev TT-33. The only difference is the magazine capacity. TT-33 magazine holds 7 rounds while M57 holds 8 rounds.

[mausercal65]

Darn good vidieo , the blindfold was amazing !

[celalserdar]

Tebrikler!!!



[Fast919]

Destinee, i have really liked your videos so far. You are proficient with the weapons I've seen so far and very informative. I especially liked your 10 things not to do on a gun range range video. One correction I would like to make to this video is that on the 1911, you push the pin out of the disassembly notch, not the slide stop. But, you probably realized that later. Many thanks and keep on shooting!!!

[fmelloni1982]

I learned how to shoot with the exact same pistol =). And for the guide rod , you nailed it. The ENTIRE purpose of the joint is for take down and reassembly

[freestylmx311]

Im afraid Im going to have to ask you to get in the kitchen and make me a sandwich

[oSNE4Ko]

Oh and also, I think it's pretty awesome btw just how much you actually read and respond to the comments and messages on your vids. :P

[oSNE4Ko]

Hey, just started watching your vids today, saw you on hickok 45s Chanel :D Prob the only female I've seen on YouTube who knows what they are duin haha. Oh and in the background...is it a Huey ? Not sure, just a guess xD

[FateofDestinee]

@samuraimacisthebest Haha... your humor kills me! But, again... I'll have to remove this comment because I try to police my channel for profanity due to some of my underage viewers. Thanks again for watching more of my vids :D

[478charger]

Your the shit! My late night Facebook friend!

[FateofDestinee]

@478charger Lol! Thanks, bro.

[newtdini]

Nice!  You got skills!

[FateofDestinee]

@newtdini Haha thank you.

[11122253]

Are you/your parents from Yugoslavia?

[FateofDestinee]

@11122253 Neither - I and my 'rents are from the States.

[boochieboy814]

@FateofDestinee

When are you going to do a full review on this M57? I'm in the market for one myself since being introduced to the gun and that awesome 7.62X25 round.

[oilhammer04]

How is this gun for reliability and accuracy?

[FateofDestinee]

@oilhammer04 As far as I've experienced, it's great for both... however, I've only put a few hundred rounds down range (I'm no expert!).

[101stairbornedan]

why doo u have a wrist band that says BOOBIES ;D ??

[FateofDestinee]

@101stairbornedan If you'd like to go check out my first Comment Corner vid, I have an answer to that question for you.

[101stairbornedan]

@FateofDestinee i did and thanks for supporting breast cancer research my grandma died of it in 2000 i miss her its nice to see people supporting :D

[FateofDestinee]

@101stairbornedan It's my pleasure... Being female, I feel I have a stake in the matter, you know?

[oddcarl1]

Ahahahaha, and then I just heard the voice at the end of your blind-folded challenge. At least you can get a laugh out of of those sexist comments and make fun of them.

[FateofDestinee]

@oddcarl1 I was raised with "Don't dish what you can't take." So while I like to be sarcastic and poke fun, I don't mind having a laugh at myself. I think it's good to keep the ego in check, you know?

[oddcarl1]

Haha, I liked the "Idiot scratch" comment. Have you finished, or are you almost finished with the review of this pistol? I've been interested in them for quite some time, and I am now seriously thining about getting one.

[FateofDestinee]

@oddcarl1 Ahh, still in progress. But I'll keep your request in mind when I hit the range :]

[gascanbad]

Clumsy Beauty!

[FateofDestinee]

@gascanbad Lol... I'm only human.

[DudeNumberOnePlus]

Haha, the boobies bracelet rules.

[FateofDestinee]

@DudeNumberOnePlus Thanks ;D I mean, who doesn't support breast cancer research and awareness?

[mariieg13]

Ur awesome destinee

[FateofDestinee]

@mariieg13 Well, thank you. I'm glad you think so.

[valontony]

@FateofDestinee Destinee, dont mind if i ask...how did you develope such an interest in guns or knives? Is your father a military guy who got you interested at a young age ? Or was it just something you developed on your own ? and your so sweet too haha... i cant put the 2 together ! I mean feminine and loving weapons...dont mix ! email me if you dont want to post this for public. Thanks.

[FateofDestinee]

@valontony Hope you checked out my first FAQ vid... I answered that exact question ;D

[michiganmostedhated]

the blind fold u killin it ;]

[FateofDestinee]

@michiganmostedhated Haha, thanks, bro.

[tanker882]

i love the paracord survival braclet mine is od green and black my dad made it for me

[FateofDestinee]

@tanker882 Cool! Mike from @Manzgear out here on YT made mine for me :]

[GunznGear]

I'm not sure why, but this vid diddn't show up on my subscription page. Glad I stopped by your channel. Very well done!

[FateofDestinee]

@GunznGear Sometimes that happens :/ Darn YouTube.

[ryanjames170]

btw the helo on the background was a UH-1 Huey from what i could tell, and neat u can do it blinded folded says alot to your knowledge of that gun

[FateofDestinee]

@ryanjames170 That's exactly it! Nice catch ;] And thank you. I did practice lol

[FateofDestinee]

@TheArmoryGuild Lol Thank you, Matt. Glad you enjoyed the vid.

[Manzgear]

looks good, and fits looks good as well. Nice vid and thanks again

[FateofDestinee]

@Manzgear Thanks again for the parachord, Mike. They fit great, and look nice, too. ;]

[Manzgear]

@FateofDestinee No problem anything for you. Love your videos. Your editing and style is unparalleled by anyone on YT. keep up the good work.... Let me know if you have any rifles or shotguns that need a sling...

[FateofDestinee]

@Manzgear Thanks, Mike. Glad you like my vids. :]

[sharpshooternick]

hey so fate im tryin to get started making videos could u go to my channel and like my first video? jw i have alot of cool guns and toys and wouldnt mind showin them but if u dont wanna thats fine! jw

[FateofDestinee]

@sharpshooternick I'll have to see whatcha got up there lol

[NavyMedicUSMC]

That is just too cool. Great job!

[FateofDestinee]

@NavyMedicUSMC Thanks, Mike :] Glad you dig it.

[PREPAREFORTHEKING]

GUUUMP..WHY DID YOU PUT THAT WEAPON BACK TOGETHER SO FAST!!!??? Because you told me to DRILL SERGANT!!! GUMP YOUR A DAMM GENIUS..ITS A NEW COMPANY RECORD!! IF IT WERNT SUCH A WASTE OF A GOOD ENLISTED MAN YOU COULD BE GENERAL SOMEDAY! Yes drill sergant!

[NavyMedicUSMC]

@PREPAREFORTHEKING HAHAHAHA ("RUN, FORREST, RUUUUUUUUUN!")

[PREPAREFORTHEKING]

@NavyMedicUSMC awesome movie

[FateofDestinee]

@PREPAREFORTHEKING Omg I haven't seen that movie in ages! Excellent quote.

[WeWantGoodCovers]

back there is a heli

[FateofDestinee]

@WeWantGoodCovers You guessed it ;]

[WeWantGoodCovers]

@FateofDestinee no, i'm a genius ;)

[FateofDestinee]

@WeWantGoodCovers lol

[WeWantGoodCovers]

WHAT GUN???

I'm not seeing one =/

[FateofDestinee]

@WeWantGoodCovers Lol aww this time I didn't make it invisible, though >.<

[EliteAmericans]

The 7.62x25 is a pretty beastly round. Some of the loads can get over 600 FPE which puts it above the vast majority of 357mag. Is is easy to find JHP?

[FateofDestinee]

@EliteAmericans I agree. That sucker just flies! I read it's the only lead round considered armor piercing. How wild is that? I looked around and it seems to be much easier to find FMJ... but I'll keep looking :]

[Allen2045]

Your the best. 

[FateofDestinee]

@Allen2045 Aww that's very sweet. I'm really not, but still... thank you.

[goodp4986]

nice gun i wana shoot it its old looking

[FateofDestinee]

@goodp4986 It was made in '57, so it's fairly old haha But it's definitely fun.

[sharpshooternick]

this is just my new favorite channel lol. she knows her guns pretty dang well and every comment i write i get a response no other big channels respond like she does! lovin it

[FateofDestinee]

@sharpshooternick Thank you, kindly. I really love all the convo I get to have with so many people on YT. That's why I try to keep up with the comments and whatnot.

[FateofDestinee]

@masterknifecollector That's exciting! You'll have fun. ;]

[masterknifecollector]

@FateofDestinee thats the plan, be smart have fun!!!!!!!!!!!!

[FateofDestinee]

@masterknifecollector The "be smart" is important for sure. I'm glad you have that attitude. :]

[masterknifecollector]

@FateofDestinee so am i!

[sharpshooternick]

wow impressive

[FateofDestinee]

@sharpshooternick Thankya ;]

[FateofDestinee]

@mrmilleniumproof Very cool. Thanks for all the info! Fantastic. I seriously need to pick up one of those CZ pistols ._.

[FateofDestinee]

@masterknifecollector Awesome! You starting high school this semester?

[FateofDestinee]

@Rheinmetall20mm My pleasure. It took me a good while (and a tiny flashlight) to figure it out myself... Glad to be helpful. :]

[mobupknodat139]

I can say that I am truly entertained by and thoroughly enjoy your videos.

it is such a joy to see younger folks taking interest in firearms , and the use, care,and safety in handling of them.

I applaud you ,and thank you for your videos .

[FateofDestinee]

@mobupknodat139 Wow, thank you. I really appreciate your support and encouragement. Thank you for your kind comment.

[wimpsfavdivs]

I have been wondering how to get the grips off my damn Tokarev since I got it! I'm gonna try that! Love my Tokarevs the Yugo is my favorite ,and I have a chinese 9mm. That was impressive, doubt I could do that, and know I couldn't have done the kimber one. You are awesome, enthusiastic informative and beatiful!

[FateofDestinee]

@wimpsfavdivs Good luck! Hope this was helpful ;] I am just about in love with my M57. Aww, thank you. I'm happy you think so. I'm just sharing my interests with whoever cares to watch :] I appreciate your kind comment, and for watching!

[FateofDestinee]

@escapefate702 Lol! I just got the parachord recently... Mike from @Manzgear sent it to me. They're pretty rad, no?

[generalgene007]

Very nicely done! Great job & fantastic video!

[FateofDestinee]

@generalgene007 Thank you, kindly. :D I had fun workin on it.

[RamblinAround]

Nicely done...you definitely know your stuff.

[FateofDestinee]

@RamblinAround Thanks. I try :]

[brennyn]

You are clearly way more of a man than I will ever be, because it takes me at least 10 minutes with a hammer and screwdriver to get that little clip holding in the slide stop to move.

[FateofDestinee]

@brennyn Lol! Field stripping M57s, like a boss. jk Maybe my model just has more wear, so the catch moves smoother?

[TacticalAngel86]

lets go out. LOL jk chica. although any dude would be lucky to date you. people that give you thumbs down, should be punched in the face!

[FateofDestinee]

@TacticalAngel86 Aww lol Well thank you.That comment basically made my day ;] You're very sweet.

[FateofDestinee]

@TacticalAngel86 Well, except to the guys who thumbed me down lol

[556DOS45]

Another entertaining vid from FoD!

Hey Destinee, have you ever thought about joining the military, while you're still young? They do moar than just shoot guns and blow stuff up. They also do stuff like video production/broadcasting, etc. Oh yeah... they also make sammiches :)

keep up the vids >.<

[FateofDestinee]

@556DOS45 Thanks! And I have thought about it, actually (basically my whole fam is or was in the military)... but not until I graduate college. Gotta finish up my degree before I look down that road further. ;] Are you military personnel?

[stchman]

The safety on Tokarev pistols (Romanian and Yugoslavian) are not supposed to be there. The safety was added by the importer to make it legal for import into this country. The Romanian Tokarev(TTC) safety really sucks. I just removed as it got in the way.  The Yugo you have is a real nice looking example.

[FateofDestinee]

@stchman That's what I understand, too. And looking at how simple the part is, I can see how it was an "afterthought..." I haven't had any issue with it being in the way, though. And thanks, much. I feel fortunate to have one in such good condition considering how old it is.

[stchman]

@FateofDestinee

My TTC is a 1953 model. It appears that the barrel was replaced somewhere along the line as it has no rust or pitting.

My TTC is actually one of the better shooting and accurate pistols I have.

[FateofDestinee]

@stchman Ah, I had someone tell me that the barrel on these wears out quickly. Have you had that experience with your TTC? I love that 7.62x25 round...

[masterknifecollector]

hey dest, sorry ive been gone a while, but im back

[FateofDestinee]

@masterknifecollector Hey Connor! How ya been?

[FateofDestinee]

@ZeaMoore4 Haha, thank you Zea. Sure, I still have to do vids on all my long guns! I have a number of knives that need reviewing too... So many vids, so little time! But I'll get there, for sure. Thanks for the recommendation! Hope you're doing well, too. :D

[ZeaMoore4]

@FateofDestinee Thank you for takiing the time to awnser all my comments. 'preciate it. I'm doing ok, hope your doing well too:-)

[FateofDestinee]

@ZeaMoore4 My pleasure. Sorry sometimes it takes me a little to get to all of them >.< I appreciate your patience. I'm busy, but great ;]

[LUISITO60007]

It's a good thing taking out the dummy scratch out comment out...

[FateofDestinee]

@LUISITO60007 Lol It happens.

[xtremearmor]

Hey, that was very interesting take down, especially the recoil spring. I have not seen a recoil spring like that before. You sure did the field strip and reassembly a lot faster with the blind fold on...lol. Really cool video. Great job!

[FateofDestinee]

@xtremearmor I hadn't either... I mean, my Kimber has a captured guide rod system as well, but it's not articulated like that. Nifty, though. Lol It's my superpower: extremely quick assembly when my video's getting too long >.< jk

[Mr45Bullitt]

Awesome! You make some very good videos and I appreciate the work you put into them. Thanks!

[FateofDestinee]

@Mr45Bullitt Wow, thank you, Bill. I appreciate all your kind comments and support. It makes me happy knowing you still watch my vids. You're awesome! :]

[JackedLobster]

Nicely done. I'm curious to see if I could do that with my handguns!

[FateofDestinee]

@JackedLobster Have at it, brah! I've already had a couple people post responses. It's fun! And thanks ;]

[rpVerlaine]

cool under pressure...you can be in the fox hole with me anytime

[FateofDestinee]

@rpVerlaine Thanks for the compliment :] It's really just the simplicity of the design allowed me to learn the takedown/ reassembly well - that, and some practice. haha

[samuraitactical556]

I heard that those Yugos are hard to find extra mags for because they are different than the other Toks.

[FateofDestinee]

@samuraitactical556 Mine (fortunately) came with two - but it's true that they don't use the same Tokarev mag - the M57 has one additional round. I have yet to look for any add'l mags, though, so I don't know from experience how difficult they are to locate.

[FateofDestinee]

@mrmilleniumproof It does have a noticeable kick to it, for sure. I'm far from an expert, but I haven't heard about that. Nonetheless, I'll be careful :]

[deathmetal44]

that was a great vid! i want one of those guns and a samich! lol. i saw one at the last gun show( the gun not the samich) i should have bought it DAmN! lol :)

[FateofDestinee]

@deathmetal44 Lol I have both! I know, I'm a lucky girl :p Oh man, yeah, I couldn't pass up the opportunity to pick up this sleek little beauty. But I still see them around now and then, so you'll likely find another :]

[FateofDestinee]

@BowsandGuns Go for it! :D

[FateofDestinee]

@BowsandGuns Yeah, I'm lucky, especially considering it's made in '57. :D

[jstmo95]

I bet your Dad is real proud of you. How old were you when he introduced guns to you? I have 2 girls ages 13 and 8.

[FateofDestinee]

@jstmo95 He's had guns around for a long time... since I was a young kid (which is probably why I love the smell of gun oil). But I didn't start going with him to the range til I was old enough to buy my own pistol. I virtually only shoot with him, and we try to go about 2-4 times a month. My 13yr old sister shoots with us, too, but she's only comfortable with .22 cal firearms (although, I'm sure with how well she does with it, she'd be ready to move up a caliber).

[TehBr0]

There are 3 homosexual men.

[FateofDestinee]

@TehBr0 lmao

[SnareFreak04]

That A.I. program better watch it considering you're armed to the teeth. Nice take down video of the Yugo.

[FateofDestinee]

@SnareFreak04 Lol... That HAL just never learns, huh? :p ...and thanks. :]

[Biglos454]

your awesome :)

[FateofDestinee]

@Biglos454 Aww, I'm glad you think so.

[EscpdFrmPsykward]

FYI Just because she's wearing a blindfold doesn't mean she doesn't know you're starring at her boobs, gentlemen. Behave yourselves. ;)

[FateofDestinee]

@EscpdFrmPsykward ...laughing...so...much... Thank you for that.

[hydrashok556]

Never knew it was THAT much like a 1911.

Cool pistol.

Thanks for making the vid.

[FateofDestinee]

@hydrashok556 Surprising, right? I love it. Thanks for watching. ;]

[FoxRider746]

a video of you making me a sammich would be awesome.... no field strip required just assembly its a win win

[FateofDestinee]

@FoxRider746 Lmao... that would be a pretty easy vid.

[dsandersmd]

you rock!

[FateofDestinee]

@dsandersmd Who me? Nah... I just like guns!

[brotherskeepers111]

Love those pistols, add the hot little round that you can still pickup real cheap, makes for a great day of shooting

[FateofDestinee]

@brotherskeepers111 Me too! I want another lol DUAL WIELD!

[Eraseallhope]

@FateofDestinee i know im just teasin ya :)

[FateofDestinee]

@Eraseallhope I figured it was all in good fun :]

[mossberg73]

I see design influences of the 1911 and the Hi-Power. Does it have a magazine safety like the BHP?

[FateofDestinee]

@mossberg73 I agree, and yep, just like @Rheinmetall20mm says, it won't fire without the mag in.

[TheOl1911]

I've never handled one of these so this was interesting. Cool vid! As always you are informative and entertaining!

[FateofDestinee]

@TheOl1911 Aw, well thank you. Glad you enjoyed it.

[ImRamro]

Great job!!

[FateofDestinee]

@ImRamro Thanks, man.

[filmcostar]

Impressive blindfold reassembly skills Destinee ,Im sure your arroz con pollo, lechon, flan and sandwich skills are equally excellent. but dont do any blindfolded cooking lol

[FateofDestinee]

@filmcostar Lmao... Thank you. That really cracked me up for some reason. But oh man, you got me hungry... I looooove arroz con pollo. <3 One of my faves.

[watchpro4]

Very nice video, thanks for sharing!!

[FateofDestinee]

@watchpro4 My pleasure. Thanks for watching ;]

[doomcannon445]

don't dry fire that pistol please without snap caps. Your dealing with older steel that had a fairly hard heat teat and then from years of use some work hardening. Continued dry firing of some older weapons like yours can lead to parts breakage and then your paying a smith to fabricate parts.

[FateofDestinee]

@doomcannon445 Thanks for the warning - and thanks for watching!

[1crimm]

Nice work.

[FateofDestinee]

@1crimm Thanks!

[Swagcrew2000]

U r so hot!

@Swagcrew2000 *blush* thank you.
