So, if you don't open the case... it will last??? another 10...20years?? (cool and dry)..

I'd get a cheap SKS to shoot this ammo...

it'll likely last because of the corrosive primers.

the case is good at keeping the ammo dry though.

Considering you still see the odd WWII milsurp ammo crop up here and there, probably about 50+ years in that tin!

popcans I can do with my teeth, those ammo crates? I don't think so. even my powers only extend so far......

 

[ESQ]

I wanna see the Slav that can actually open this without tools

There he is on the right:

If using a propane torch is dangerous, how did they seal the ammo containers in the first place? A local gun store opens their crates with a torch and they say the lid comes off so quickly that no heat is transferred to the ammo.

 

[CanAm]

You would have to set first to the case to get the ammo to cook off.

Real brave men!!!

 

[Declan]

What I wanna know is why did my case of ammo come from Ontario if you live in Vancouver CanAm?

 

[Mark_P]

They have a warehouse in Ontario where they ship out there ammo.

 

[chanman]

No.............it is actually some of the best pictures we have seen.

It comes up on occasion!!

Now..........try openning one with just a cheap pair of channel locks!!

Wouldn't you be able to use those crazy mod powers to repost the pictures to the sticky, or is that just crazy talk?

I wonder if they store any of their rations like that as well.

 

[Steiner]

I need some more tins to practice on. Any more Czech cans coming down the supply pipe?

 

[DARKARCHER]

after readingg past threads and this one i thought it was going to be a pain in the @$$ but i had to laugh at myself how easy it is to open just pull the tabs no tools required ..none just pull the rings and it opened very easy .......i guess if the tabs ripped off it would be a bit diff but being a sheetmetal worker id find a way in

 

[beergut]

^haha I got both you girls beat. I bought 3 cases

and i got you beat! lol

 

[5440fight]

Imagine it: little bits are flying around while you search for a claw hammer, 2x4 end and a flathead screwdriver... I suspect youre meant to use your bayonet through the ring and turn to twist off- Thats how I opened mine- (tire iron- not bayonet)

 

[blasterbailey]

I pulled the tabs off getting into mine. I just bashed the hell out of it with a hammer and screw driver. My first box lasted, what, 6 weeks. Need to stock up i think, 300/500 rounds per range visit eats ammo like a fat kid in a candy store.
