7.62x39 spam can

[fred0000]

Please move to the ammunition subforum if you feel better fitting, i figured the x39 wiz's would be here.

I've been seemingly seeing less and less surplus 7.62x39 ammo around and been wanting to add some to the "deep stack" as i dont shoot it, but seems like a good idea to have, pawn shop had this can, and sold it going off what was written in sharpie, I'm here to confirm that is what i got, as googling turns up a crazy wormhole of all sorts of cans and mixed information, any help is greatly appreciated.









Yaya i get it "been discussed 100's of times" but i know I'd take more heat bumpin an old thread.

Yes, Chinese 7.62x39. 750 rounds.

I should have added, do we know how it's packaged inside, stripper clips would be nice, but i have my doubts therr

I want to say that the amount, if on clips, was less than 750, but I can't recall for sure.

I believe the cans containing 7.62x39 on 10 round stripper clips are in quantities of 550

Will most likely be paper wrapped ammo. Does that can have the starter tab like a spam can, wire pull, or need to be cut open ?

Looks like Chinese . corrosive but works. they use primer sealer on the primers and around the base of the bullet
on some years of that stuff. it's a nice touch .hope you got it for a good price.

Yeah, I think surplus 762 has finally just about dried up. I don't think even Cabelas sells anything but the norinco red box anymore

Tenda has RedBox for $280/500-rnds; comes to 65c/rnd with 15% tax. Just add a few boxes of 22LR to make the $300 free ship. And BP may have it on sale for about that price occasionally, it was on Boxing day.

Question for the uninitiated, at what number is it considered deep stacking?

I would think 20k or better for 7.62x39 but even then, some may consider that to be just the tip.

Question for the uninitiated, at what number is it considered deep stacking?

Answer is subjective. I've always said I like to keep about 2 years worth of shooting (or appropriate reloading supplies) for each calibre I own. For something like 30-06, that's about 50 rounds. For 303 british, maybe 500 rounds. For 22lr, perhaps 5000 rounds

A quick AI dive says. 1000 minimum . Deep Stacking 5000 to 10000

Paid 200, sold for 275, planned to sit on it longer, however someone wanted it, he was happy to grab it.

 

[Shovel]

You made $75? You said you wanted to add to your deep stack and had a hard time finding any? And you sold it

 

[hoobdydyadad]

nah now he will get 275 worth instead of 200
ammo should be shot not hoarded

^huh?

Surplus once gone is gone. Need a stash for retirement.


Wife I'm busy I need to goto the range
