I am trying to find out what the difference is between 30 tokorov, 30 luger, and 30 mauser is are they interchangable could i use the ammunition for a boomhandle mauser in a CZ-52?

  30 Mauser & 30 Toke are virtually the same. The 30 Luger is a shorter in overall length cartridge, not interchangeable with the other two.
  
  No problem using 30 Mauser Ammo in a CZ-52. Some CZ-52 (CZECH) Ammmo is way to hot for the Broom Handle Mauser though.

  I second Rufe's opinion and offer that I broke the rocker stirrup in my C96 with the surplus ammo. Didn't know any better back then. Since I fixed the broom (not easy , required quite a bit of hand fitting) , I reload a light charge - 7 grains of Accurate #7 - to make sure shooting doesn't stress the works.
  Be nice to your old guns.

  The boltstop on my Broomhandle crystalized & shattered
  using .30 Mauser ammo. No damage or harm but I hate to
  think what may have happened if I had been using the hotter
  Tokarov ammo.

  This is a classic - and probably one of, if not the, most dramatic - example of why it is so important only to use the proper ammo in a given firearm.
