That's going to be awfully hard to identify from your description.

Is it this? http://www.wideners.com/itemdetail.cfm?item_id=100000445&dir=18|830|852

I have the same stuff. Early 90's import. "Hunting spec" ammo? Good stuff. Dirty, kinda smoky. Most probably Russian. Non-corrosive.

That's a very good price if it is decent ammo, but we would need more info about it.

Got a pic or link?

 

[jeremymartinez]

It won't let me post a pic of the box but they're white boxes and say Centerfire Ammunition non-corrosive underneath that it says Cal 7.62x39 FMJ L.C.B 123 GR Ball Made to hunting specification Made in Russia 20 pcs

Posting pictures is easy once you understand the trick. You have to upload it somewhere and then you can include a link in your post. You can't upload it directly to your post.

I have the same stuff. It's good. Buy it if you want some. The hunting specification phooey is just that: phooey. It's just your standard 7.62x39 FMJ round. Nothing special about it.

For the price, it is good general shooting ammo. None of the hassles of corrosive ammo, but not top of the line either. It will go bang reliably. Compare your price to the Wideners ad. I'd get it.

if you dont want it..... Ill take it.

If it doesn't have the crappy textured brown coating on the cases, it's good to go!

 

[rockhopper46038]

The stuff I linked has a decent rep, so at the price you stated I'd say yes, you should buy it. In fact, I'd like to pick some up if there is more available.

^THIS!
Can we get some? at .15 a round for non-corrosive that is a very good deal!

 

[ThrottleJockey]

No, the ones with the thick BROWN TEXTURED coating. I don't know any other way to describe it, but it is garbage. I've only seen it once thank GOD. It was back in the early '90s we were buying crates of ammo to blow through with our $69.95 SKSs, it came in a spam can 700rnds per can, two cans per crate. Another weird identifier was that once the can was opened, there was a thick layer of wax with a ring/wire to pull on in order to cut the wax, then the wrapped ammo was under that. Perhaps someone that worked at Bradis before the clinton AWB would know what it was. That's where we were buying it.

Is that a special price for you or can you share the love?

GROUP BUY!!! Anyone have access to a cargo ship? lol

 

[johntheplinker]

That's Klimovsk made ammo. Be advised that there are multiple reports that some lots of this ammo have corrosive primers. I shot some Klimovsk ammo several years ago, and it was decent, but the newer stuff I tried was not very good IMO. Very dirty and group size was about double the older ammo.

We don't need a cargo ship. INGO bought the USS BACON carrier a while back. It's land locked right now somewhere in indiana don't you know.
