*7,62-43* *1120/bxn/90* The ammo information is on the tin. "7,62-43" means 7.62x39mm M43 Soviet ammo. "1120" means the number of rounds per crate. "bxn" is the German WW2 / Soviet Warsaw Pact arsenal code for the Zbrojovka Vlasim (nationalized Sellier & Bellot) ammunition plant in Vlasim, Bohemia, Czechoslovakia (now the Czech Republic). "90" means the ammo was made in 1990. The ammo comes in 10-round stripper clips packed 2 clips (20 rounds) per unmarked light-blue carton; there are 56 cartons (112 stripper clips) per crate.
My wife watches chocolate being made videos...I watch ammo crates being opened...same effect! I love buying and opening old military ammo by crate...the smell is better then any chocolate!
One thing in sure. The wooden box quality and protection is a sign that the product inside is excellent. Never had any issue with Sellier but have not encountered any of these boxes here in Europe. Regards
Sellier & Bellot is probably the world's oldest ammunition maker, dating to 1825 when a German-French businessman, whose family fled the French Revolution, established a percussion cap factory in Prague on behalf of Emperor Francis I of Austria.
Two tabs are for opening the x and the y axis, the third tab is for lifting the ammo out of the crate, hope that helps for future crates. Good ammo, I have a couple crates myself, shoots good, and is clean. Mine was 80's production so you mileage may very.... Just remembered I had a crate where there was z axis, dump box out of wooden crate then pull x tab open, then y tab open then z tab open and ammo falls out.
I've had both loose and strippered (something about this word doesn't sound right) ammo in identical looking crates, even same numbers etc. Not always clear if the smmo is loose or not. Must be a marking im not catching, i purchase through a local gun shop. I once got ammo on little machine gun clips for a m42 machine gun. I shoot 8mm mauser. Same with identifying corrosive or non corrosive. I can't tell...I just ask for noncorrosive.
The stripper clips of ten rounds probably indicates the intended firearm was the SKS, which took a ten-round stripper clip. But there is probably some reloading device that allows reloading of Kalashnikov AK-47 assault rifle magazines with three, separate stripper clips.
there is, in fact, a cast metal tray that AKM-equipped militaries use to speed-load AK mags in this fashion. it's got a pocket for the mag, a slot for a loaded stripper clip, and a big basin to hold a pile of loose rounds close. you insert the stripper clip into a specific place lined up with the mag, take a loading block, and then ram it straight in.
No device needed. This is Czech ammo packed to load Czech rifle Samopal vz.58. This rifle have stripper clip cut out in in bolt so you put empty magazine in rifle, open bolt (locks on empty mag), push down 3 clips, replace magazine with another empty one and repeat until you load all mags. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-iCqElIDUzeI.html
I just bought a crate like this and, yes, it is a real bitch to open. I wouldn't want to be under fire trying to get my ammo out. That said, you could bury it in a cache for years without fear of corrosion.
Take a piece of dowel rod, slip through ring and pull straight up and across, then put it through both the side ones and pull from the middle to open them at the same time, these are made to be opened in a hurry if needed, so there is a trick to it, so as not to waste time.
Good Grief! I got a crate of Yugoslavian surplus like that. Have not opened it as I am saving it as a display piece. Not getting in that in any kind of hurry. Yours (and mine) were boxed for use with the SKS, hence the stripper clips.
Just pull the tabs straight up...I've opened these before. You put your foot on the crate and pull the tabs 90 degree straight up. They shouldn't break, although I've had that happen.
😎 Now, imagine that you are on the battlefield with the enemy bearing down on you, and you need to open up the ammo in the next 30 seconds and load your sks !!!! 🙄
good lord! seems like you gotta hook it up to a tank and rip the box open! lol, i guess the adreline would be pumping to get those boxes open but seriously... knuckles of steel to open those bad boys up
BXN has a black primer. means fuckin corrosive :D I know a lot about... if you have no chromium plated barrel dont try that. for SSSR weapons it should be ok, because all we have here has chromium
thank you, I know that I am clever. sorry but I do not know what you're talking about, there are several definitions for " muck out " and your comment is not clear for me.
Soviet 7.62x39mm ammo doesn't come that way. The ammo on stripper clips is usually for use in SKS carbines - which have a 10-round internal magazine. 7.62x54mmR M1891 Russian ammo comes in 5-round clips.
у нас тоже в 80х ввели цинк на ленточном ключе, так старлеи посчитав что во время инструктажа можно посрать в зелёнке потом смешили всю роту когда пытались выебнутся в мастерклассе по открыванию, в итоге -сломанный штыкнож (вообще додуматься этой хуйнёй что то делать это ещё тот интеллект нужно иметь, штык-нож в срочке создан для того что бы его либо сломать, либо проебать, по поведению солдата с ножом можно реально понять кто он такой лучше чем по погонах), -сломанный шомпол (смекалка их привела к тому что ленточку нужно заворачивать вставляя в что то плоскощельное, а что это, КОНЕЧНО ЖЕ ШОМПОЛ БЛЯТЬ), -а уже потом дошло что есть КЛЮЧИК в комплекте, но хуями покрыли инженера который покрасил в цвет хаки как цинк так и ключ....
The crate would have markings like this on the front: *1120* *???/90/bxn* *7,62-43* *Tbpl/Fe* *27 kg.* *PE CELOLAK* *Ngsp vz.43 nma* *??/90* The designation for the wooden crate is "PM2".
