100 round battle pack 7.62x39mm

[POPS]

Bought a couple of these battlepacks marked MANUFACTURED IN UKRAINE. The plant,LUGANSK was issued plant numbers 904 , 911 , and 270.
the ammo in the 5 plain boxes contain cartridges with headstamps 711 over 81.
this indicates mfg.date 1981 and 711 indicates the RUSSIAN PLANT KLIMOVSKII !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Not UKRAINE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The big question is why were you buying 100rd packs and not a crate?

going to battle of course, duh.

2-300 rnd's is what I bring for an afternoon with 1 sks, a crate would be more applicable for "battle" if you ask me and cheaper over the long run.

AH, Why do I bother????????????????? going back into my cave........

you missed it. A battle pack is what would typically be carried by a front line soldier for an SKS. You don't see soldiers running around with a crate of ammo on their back for personal use.

I know what a battle pack is, lol. My original question was why buy smaller ammo packs when a crate is available. More you buy the better the price usually...

 

[Far North]

Those "battle packs" are all marketing hype. They crack open a case of ammo and re-wrap it in packs of 100 and charge double.

thats true but not everyone's wife will let them come home with crates......don't forget about that one fella's

wife doesn't dictate amount spent on ammo. you don't tell her she can only buy 7 pads a month do you?

 

[Butcherbill]

^^^Lol, I don't want to know any more about that #### than I already do...

 

[Surplus1]

I must be lucky. Wife says nothing about ammo because she uses more then I do at the range. She is into 22lr though. I looked at those battle packs before and they are just repacks. Nothing special or wild.

I buy that non-corrosive Barnaul stuff cause I'm too lazy generally to clean it right after shooting. And so far to cheap to lay out $250 or so for a crate.
