What is this old ammo worth

[BrownR]

So I was doing a estate clean and came across some old ammo, some 223 and 762x39.

762x39






223

 

[Snider shooter]

7.62x39 is going for 0.40 each.

 

[FatCatsDad]

50 cents a round for the steel cased Norinco 7.62x39

 

[BrownR]

The reason I ask is I’ve got a line from a guy interested in trading some 410 slugs for the ammo I came across.

3 cartridges of the 762, and 33 of the 223.

Make sure you tell whoever buys it most of those are reloads.

What makes your think that ?? As far as I know and was told they're all Factory ammo as he didn’t do reloads

Curious why you think that as well.

Look at the primers.

Look at the primers.

Look at the headstamps? So there's two Norinco .223s mixed in, so what.

Brass looks pretty well used to me...

Hansen usually had a flatter primer, slathered with either green/blue/red sealant. As well the primers had a circular crimp.

You could be right . but I still see a little green crud around the primers . usually that is absent after reloading no ? and the could have gotten wet so that's another reason that there is only some green primer sealer around the primers ? some of them do look like reloads . one the primer looks lower . good luck on your sale .

I’ll try to get some better pics later for you guys, ones where I zoom in and maybe it’ll be easier to tell then. I can’t see them being a reload being as this gentleman always just bought new cartridges when shooting. Sticker still on inside of box from when purchased, 9.95$ back in 1990 I believe it is stamped. But I’ll get some better pics and see if we’re able to figure this out as I’m quite curious myself now lol

I guess I've totally lost touch with reality...
- Because it would have never occurred to me to either buy (or sell) 3x rounds of 7.62x39 (or anything else for that matter)

Me too ! - I'd just fire 'em Or give 'em to someone who could. Those might be worth $1 each IF a "collector" needed them to fill a blank.

I don’t have anything to fire then rounds with hence me making a trade for some 410 ammo that I can shoot lol

 

[sillymike]

Nah, you're reasoning make sense... trade something you have no use for, for something that you could use...
- It's just not something I ever thought of doing and I probably got a milk crate worth of ammunition for which I don't have guns for anymore... I'd guess I just keep in case I do buy something in that caliber again.

$10 for the lot. $15 if you're feeling scroogey. So a full box of .410 anything is a good trade for you.

Guess I’ll see what kind of deal him and I can make then

If you're trading for .410 slugs don't accept Sterling they are junk. Check the 12min mark
