Opening a Crate and Spam Can of Russian 7.62x39mm 

Nice!

nice!

Steve is much faster at opening cans lol

Ok let's get it on the tray

was sad to hear no hiss...

That why when i translate, it say controller on the left, and tire manager on the right. Now i know why😅 But still "tire manager", i cant relate with assembler😅

And they STILL had guns and ammo left in the Soledar mine (before Wagner cleared that up) and who knows what other locations/bunkers. The question I have is why are they packaged in a box of 20 rounds? Why not 30? Why not 10? Edit : nvm, I guess this is the "v2 can" with 30 rounds. Edit 2 : Why the fk is the number "30" printed on the pack if it has 20 rounds????

Yeah. And guns. Original SKSs and AKs used to be cheap as dirt. Now you're gonna have to pay. If you invested in those back then, you would have made a pretty penny.

Thanks!

For hunting? But you don't need an AK-47 to hunt!

@@roadhouse6999 the Russians apparently have all sorts of exemptions in their laws if things are “for hunting” so you’ll end up with all sorts of weird scenarios like DP-27’s being sold as “hunting carbines.”

@@roadhouse6999 "Сайга 7,62" civil ver. (a little castrated ver. of "AK-103 7.62" from army)

Yep, I just put duct tape over the ragged edges and it makes a nice tray for art supplies.

Haha no, have had this for over a year.

@@MikeB128 so you WERE rich. ah, good old times^^

@@couchcamperTM they actually weren't to high in price when SG still had them. Bought one last December after shipping came to like $332.

7.62x39 is one of the few calibers still easily found during all this 2020 bs and hasn’t doubled or tripled in price per round

@@Bloodreign137 Right on, even though it's not sub-20 cents per round anymore, it's still widely available and I picked some up a bit ago for like 28 cents per round (and even then that wasn't the best deal I could have gotten)

M67 is my favorite. It's fantastic shit.

@@MikeB128 It's FMJ, so you can shoot it at every shooting range. Some ranges don't like SAP because it damages the backstops.

SHOTRED555 I don’t think I have ever seen corrosive 9mm, except for maybe some really old Chinese stuff.

Sounds like a really fucking stupid thing to do...

@@MikeB128 try it on the other can, you're welcome.

Well I don't have a paved driveway. Maybe someday.

@@MikeB128 Type in YT search, how to open a spam can w/o a can opener. Mrgunsngear.

Looks like wayyyyy more effort than just using the opener. Maybe someday, but meh.

The struggle is real.

Yeah, send me one and I will.

Congrats. I also purchased bread for 25C a loaf, and gas was .75c a gallon in the 90s.

It's the color of the lacquer coating on steel cases to prevent rust.

Mike B it’s steel cartridges then. Thanks for the info

It's camouflage. Clear lacquer on parkerized steel would be brighter and easier to see.

Yay, haven't heard that one before. The only differences are that I have the balls to show my face, and I'm not a dumb fucking Canuck.

What the fuck are you trying to say?

He's telling you that he has access to angry play-doh. He just misspelled claymores.

I like to use the cans for reloading/brass storage so I tend to cut the lid clean off.

Just the crate? They're around. The crate with the ammo? Right now?Good luck...

Contact ammo dealers and they usually will sell the empty crates. They have lots of spares due to only selling 1 spam can of ammo and then other to another customer. Which they would ship in box instead of the wooden crate for cheaper and easier. Wood adds weight and weights raises Freight. So If you buy 1 instead of 2 spam cans in the wood crate, they usual give you the 50-50 odds of getting the spam can opener with your spam can. Funn fact all the surplus used to come on stripper clips. If we had known the Stripper Clips would have been worth $1-$5 a piece we wouldn't have left on the ground with the spent casings...... The best bet to find ammo like this 7.62 X25mm, X39mm or X54R is too look for local people who have had crates for years and are willing to sell it. Since they aren't going to shoot it and the zombie-apocalypse isn't likely to happen. The old stock piles tend to collect enough dust that they'll willing to part with it for cash since they don't have someone to pass it on to or will trade it for labor if your skilled with home repair & upkeep. Also There are plenty of people who have cities grow around them, making so they can't shoot it anymore in the backyards any more. With the steel case and older steel cores bullets, closer indoor ranges are a no go. With it taking at least 1-2 hours to get to outdoor land where you can shoot steel case ammo the hassle and time it takes causes it to become surplus to the person who bought to stock up. The problem is you sell ammo, you can't afford to replace it, so many people just sit on it in case that day comes, then you'll find it in estate sales with the other gun stuff. Just be warned The USSR hated easy logical even even numbers like 500 or 1000 on ammo cases . The new "commercial" ""Surplus"" is in 500 and 1,000 cases. In the hey day of this style of surplus ammo being the norm not the exception, you would buy a case of 7.62x39mm in 1220 or 1440 rounds cases, which were $100 or less back in the mid 1990's. Many of those people are getting older and have needs that the ammo can help pay for. The 7.62x54R was 440 a spam can then 880 rounds per wooden crate which you see ever one complain and state what it cost back then with Mosin Nagant rifle on every post sooner rather than later..... The 7.62x38R is 1480 single spam can for the Nagant pistol a 6 shot revolver. The 7.62x25mm case quantity sizes escape at the moment but they were equally odd numbers that didn't match any of the above, so you were always going how many rounds in this case?

Congrats.

Communist Bloc ammo containers have a Lot ID that consists of the Lot code (an alphabetic-order Cyrillic letter followed by a 2-digit ID number ranging from 01 to 99), the 2-digit year of production, and the factory number. On military cans it's found on the second line of text on the left side under the cartridge type description (e.g., 7.62 LPSgs). Example: *В45 - 77 - 10* = Lot: V45, year: 1977, Factory 10 (Kazanlak, Bulgaria). Bulgarian ammo crates and spam cans have 10 (the Arsenal at Kazanlak) as the factory number. It is both a cartridge plant and a powder mill. Russian ammo crates and spam cans have the factory numbers 3 (Ulyanovsk Cartridge Plant), 7 (Amursk Cartridge Plant [Vympel ammunition]), 17 (Barnaul Cartridge Works), 38 (Yuryuzan State Factory [Chelyabinsk Oblast]), 60 (Frunze Cartridge Plant [modern-day Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan]), 188 (Novosibersk Low Voltage Equipment Plant), 270 (Voroshilovgrad State Factory [modern-day Luhansk, Ukraine]), 539 (Tula Cartridge Works), and 711 (Klimovsk Stamping Plant). A lot of these plants closed down after the Cold War ended.

need to know

I made an entire video on this, as well as many other people....Don't be helpless..

some people do it differently.

@@buttnaked lolll did you watch his video

Send me some and I will. I'm not made of money.

@@MikeB128 A shrewd negotiator Mike is. I will see what I can do about getting you some 8mm "starvin marvins"

Last year I bought this online..

The can label says *M48-18* . M48 is the lot number (repeated on the end of the cans) and 2018 is the year of production.

You don't...You're way too late.

Mike B unhappy noises

So if you can get Russian ammo in, why aren’t we importing massive amounts of ammo?

@@nathandurrence134 ? I don't know, ask the importers, not me...........

Probably the lot number? I assure you, there are only 20 rounds per packet..

prove it

30 may be the factory number

Barnaul (the old Factory 17) is the manufacturer. M48 is the Lot Number. 2018 is the year of manufacture. It has a civilian ammo code system. the number *3* means 7.62x39mm and the letter *O* means FMJ bullet. Blue ink means lacquered steel case.

You can't anymore....You're too late...Missed it by about a year......Since it seems you're living under a fucking rock.

@@MikeB128 damn you woke up on the wrong side of the bed, just got a rifle chambered in 762 so i didn’t need any up until now

@@tonypengo Nah, it's just how I am. Inundated with moronic RU-vid comments daily, yours wasn't the worst, but it also wasn't the best. If you've watched my, or any other guntuber's videos in the past year, you'd know that ammo has been cleaned out by panic buyers and idiots over the past year with no end in sight. Give it a couple years and MAYBE you'll be able to get these crates again, but not at the same price I paid unfortunately.

@@MikeB128 yeah all the shortage led me to look for Russian ammo or anything made international I guess, sorry to just waste your time with bs, have a good one!

No.....

Mike B lol was reading through the comments and saw what you said on that other guys, I’m still confused at the concept and maybe that would be a good short video idea :)

Yeah this can must not have sealed. The lid did look raised compared to the other one. Not a big deal.

@@MikeB128 Yeah, it's not an 80 year old military ration. They'll be alright!

Sounds like my krag I bought, mine was a sporter but they actually shortened the barrel back in the day and re- crowned it professionally so they could of done that to make it more handier or maybe Bubba was doing a mad science experiment

Genetics.

“Tires” refers to the odor.

Oh my God and I thought it was "30" and was wondering a good while why it was 30 when there were 20 in each package lol

Barnaul uses a number (cartridge type) / Cyrillic letter (bullet type) code for its hunting ammo. *3O* means 7.62x39mm ("No.3 cartridge") & FMJ ("O"). Blue ink means it has a lacquered steel case.

Lot/Factory number.

@@MikeB128 oh haha what a teaser

Barnaul used to be Factory 17. The Lot code is M48 of year 2018. It's actually Barnaul's civilian ammo code for 7.62x39mm ("No.3") and FMJ (Cyrillic Letter "O"). Blue ink means it has a lacquered steel case. I had to ask for help to figure that out.
