Found a few 1200rnd unopened crates and one open. The open crate is head stamped 311 93 which I believe is lead core, copper washed, and non corrosive but have yet to open the other crates. Anyone have a head stamp chart for the 7.62x39 norinco? Just know I'm not going to be able to leave those crates unopened for too long Also anyone know the current value on this stuff?
Don't know about headstamp codes, but back in the day my first Norinco SKS liked the Norinco FMJ ammo pretty well - but the softpoint stuff would hang up when chambering. A 'few crates', you lucky man you!
There is/was a web site for the head stamps on 7.62x39 ammo that is/was very well put together. I will see if I can find again.
Good to know. I recently acquired a norinco mak 90 that I plan on feeding this stuff to. Here is a little ammo porn for you A pic of headstamp Thanks, I'll be looking as well.
Yep, they are there. I was hoping to find a list with a break down on the ammo itself. Such as core type, corrosive/non, casing, etc...hopefully there is one out there
That's a nice bit of ammo. Plenty good to keep zombies at bay for a minute. I'm thinking my SKS is worth about 10 grand. What's that you say? That's enough to buy a barrett. Hadn't thought of that. Lol. My rifle kicks like a mule, is hard to sight in and eats Wolf. Good as in point and click. Nothing too fancy. I think I'm getting away from using it myself until I grow a recoil pad on my shoulder. Lol.
These might help Headstamp Codes - International Ammunition Association http://www.tacticoolproducts.com/headstamps.pdf Norinco (China North Industries Corporation) and China Sports used once sold a lot of ammunition here. Although I have both; I haven't seen it for sale since the 80s and 90s. As does a 22 rf.
OK, ya got me. Suppose I should have said it has painful recoil? Which I suppose would also be subjective.
I fired about 100 rounds through it, then graduated. I beat my shoulder up in the space of a few hours with no breaks and it taught me a lesson. I'm not a beefy fellow with padding, so yeah it got painful. Shot about 20 rounds through my 30-30, then fired 5 shots through my Mossberg 308 and called it quits for the day. So yeah, I'm a big wuss. Lol.
Yup. When you shoot until it hurts, the more it hurts the less accurate you become. It is one of the best ways to develop a flinch I am aware of.
