Hey all.

Few of us locals where at the opening for Wholesale Sports. We were standing by some surplus crates that said 7.62X43.

None of us could come up with what this ammo is/for.

I have seen lots of it in my travels but never had any interest in it or haven't read much about it to pass along to other members for interest.

Help.
 
The Czech/Soviet military never used the designation 7.62x39. That's why it's not marked on the case. As Andy said, they call it the M43 round.

7.62 - 43 tells exactly what's in the case.

What's WSS's price on it, Max?
 
lol, it is chez surplus 7.62x39


*Edit*
Where i live, the best price you will find is around 280$. So whenever i go to Edmonton i pick up a case at wholesale sports.

No where on the crate did it say 7.62X39.

You would think that it would have been marked more clearly.................

Thanx Andy.

It will be gone quickly. One local shop sells the stuff $100 more than the other shops.

Yes it does it says M43 on mine Which means the year 7.62x39 designed.
