Does one of these exist, commonly, that is not a full auto? Drum magazines would be nice, but not a must-have.

Inter Ordnance in NC has been selling WW II Russian PPsh 41's converted to Semi-Auto only for a couple of years as the "SR-41" with a 35 rnd. mag @ ca. $600-650. Extra 35 rnd. mags are ca. $30 and 71 rnd. Drums are ca. $50. PPsh 41 parts "kits" are ca. $140 or $170 {Stick or Drum mag} with "like new" bores. Starline sells virgin brass if you handload.

Unless you have a secret cache of Tokarev rounds or are a dedicated collector of obsolete Russian ordnance, a much superior .30 carbine would be a US M1. New ones are available, as well as rebuilt GI's, for around $700. The US carbine is probably more accurate and handy than a PPSh, and with more spare parts and support availability down the line. It's also less likely to cause inconvenient suspicions from friends, neighbors and law enforcement when you take it for a walk.
7.62x25 ammo is nowhere near as unobtanium as some folks would have you think. I just bought several hundred rounds of new-production Sellier & Bellot from Cheaperthandirt.com for my CZ-52 pistol. Good stuff, especially on those days when I don't feel like handloading a bunch more Starline brass...
Tokarev Carbine
This is something I've been itching for lately as well.
I think that a perfect modern platform for this idea would be Kel-Tec's Sub2000 9mm carbine.
I think that if Kel-Tec took their neato folding carbine and made one that could take PPSH mags, CZ52 mags, or TT33 mags, it would make for an excellent piece.
