Good but nothing special. Plain ole wire-core M-43 ball, usually non-corrosive. That's $350 a case at that price.

Good stuff, shot a bunch back in the day, still have a few boxes somewhere. Good price in today's market, especially since that ammo is desirable to some collectors, have seen it go for over 11 bucks a box back when regular AK ammo was 200-300 a case.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By caduckgunner: It's a good drive, so I am waiting to hear how much he has to see if it's worth my time and gas . From that pic looks like he has at least 30-35 boxes. I'd snag it if not too crazy far. ETA: Dude, i'm seeing 20-25 bucks a box online at the few places that have any, go buy that stuff and throw a few boxes on GB, make sure and call it "vintage", the Redditors will fall all over themselves for it and you'll make all your money back and have free ammo, lol. Cripes, I may to dig out my stash and sell it if people are paying that much.  *neckbearding urge intensifies* Well can't find my yellow box stuff just yet but found 10 boxes of the green/white box stuff, both FMJ and some SP's, doesn't seem to be as common as the yellow or green box stuff, have to do some research I guess, looks like this (not my pic):

They make it in a silver box too in addition to those two and the green/white I have. And maybe a white box too. They also make it in a red box, and the only the I know about the differences is that the red box stuff is the newest. |

People seem to think it’s armor piercing and think it’s desirable. It’s just generic blasting ammo in my opinion. I remember when it was Pennie’s per round

Be aware... a lot of Chinese ComBloc ammo claimed to be non-corrosive but it wasn't>
Be sure to clean accordingly. |

Guy ended up ghosting me after I responded asking how many boxes he had. Oh well, it was a mile drive. Only worth it for at least 1k if not 2k rounds.
