When the shit hits the fan and you need ammo, you will find a way to open that crate and cans.
I don't know if you find that interesting, but I grew up in Bulgaria before moving to the US, and I grew up knowing there was one of these can openers in one of the kitchen drawers at home. At the time, I did not know where it came from until later on in my life my dad told me these came from the ammo cans and he just used it in the military and brought one home. It was the backup can opener and used where conventional openers failed.... It was crude, same color and just worked. One of these days I need to find one, but I don't currently own any 7.62x39 or 54R guns so I don't buy surplus ammo, but I'm sure some day, I will find one and will be reunited with an old friend :-)

The history of this can and many like it is amazing. When I am opening them I try to imagine what the world was like back then. What the people looked and sounded like in the factory. If only the ammo could talk. New doesn't offer you this type of experience.

The first word means the person who put the amunitions in the small packages and in the metal boxes and the other word means the person who controlled the quality. It is amazing quality, not like in 2004 when I was working in another factory in Liascovets, Bulgaria...
1:41 Here's what I see on the paper. Top Line "ОШИНОВЩИК" just translates into 'Oshinovschik' meaning Ammo Count. "KOHTPOЛEP OTK" is saying 'Inspector OTC' so i'm guessing just an inspector's number of ID.

Yep, it's russian words. But numbers on the bottom of cartridge means: "10" - place of production/factory - Bulgaria, and "71"- year of production - 1971. As i know, gray mark on the bullet means that it has steel core.

The labels are in Bulgarian, as they are fully valid words in the language, and the box was made by Bulgarians to use in Bulgaria so it dosen't make sense to write in Russian. Also there are some different characters between Bulgarian and Russian Cyrillic alphabets, and I don't see any strictly Russian characters anywhere on the labels, cans or box. That said, many production lines at Arsenal would have been set up with the help of Russian specialists and some of their wording and procedures could have been adopted for use in Bulgaria as well, especially as the two languages are so close.
MMMMM, surplus. I absolutely love everything surrounding the Mosin and it's ammunition. I recently cracked open 6 different spam cans and did some comparisons. It's interesting to see the differences in varying years and armories.

Nice good looking ammo and containers. The excellent condition Ammo Spam cans can be used for storage compartments for shooting hobby- workshop items, just use pliers to crimp down on the sharp edges. The Cover makes a good trivia souvenir for mounting on the wall of a Gun club or bar.
Some of the ORIGINAL [pre 1950] 'spam' cans had an actual key on them... It was hit and miss because some times the strap would break, so they went to the lever can opener for reliability.

Man this makes me really miss those good ole days. I currently have 6 sealed cans of this light ball Bulgarian stuff, 5 cans of heavy ball 1950s production and 5 cans of light ball 1980s genuine Russian stuff. I used to loved to stock pile these cans at gun shows or online it was so plentiful and cheap so much fun to shoot and collect. We gotta make what we have left last long as we can.

I have a case of this exact stuff, each bundle of 20 rounds wrapped in brown paper with string. I had a little dated info sheet inside translated by a Russian linguist, and she confirmed it was Bulgarian. Mine was packaged in 1954, and looks brand new. Corrosive berdan primed of course. A couple of cans I bought online were missing the opener, which was irritating.

Sir in 2018 what would be a fair price for a 880 round create of this ammunition?
Damn it Dyatlov, what took you so. long? war is over.
I had a can of russian 5.45x 39. Circa 1982. Found a bug thats been sealed up since then.
very cool!
just as good as the 7n1 ammo
and in germany the box will opened from the state which will mark EVERY single cartridge. sooo no opening fun for germans - but i forgot we dont have fun in germany
Now this is what i called UNBOX THERAPY
nice vid! i got some PPU 54r ammo after seeing your positive review and they were great! unfortunately, non-corrosive 7.62x54r ammo is drying up these days and am considering using corrosive surplus stuff. what is your advice on cleanup afterwards? there are so many conflicting methods out there and I want to hear from someone who has nice firearms and actually used corrosive ammo :) thanks in advance!

Hi very nice video !
This ammo is made in Bulgarian factory Arsenal in Kazalak. Most of the signs during the soviet times on the cans of ammo were in russian. I know that because I am from Bulgaria and my father was a colonel from Bulgarian navy. I've been opening such cans with 7.62x39 and I know the feeling :) :). Unfortunately now the low does not allows me to have such a quantity of ammo for may arsenal rifle. Good for you and enjoy shooting on the range. :) :) :)

Clearly there was no concern with the time element, they were meant to be opened well in advance of need.
NEX TIME just cut 1/4 of the length from both sides then you can lift the lif up get a few boxes out as you need and so on then flip it back down and duck tap it using the same can - unless you have an ammo canister that is best for storage - but this way you keep them al in the metal containers safe and sound

All the rounds you mention fire bullets of the same diameter, however they each have bullets of different weight and shape and in order to do so have cartridge cases of different shapes and lengths. 7.62x54R is an old full power rimmed rifle round, 7.62x39mm is an intermediate rifle round and the 7.2x25mm is a pistol/smg round.
For which gun is the bullet?
the old can openers one can get for the kitchen cut out the top of the lid and are nasty after using... so... I started looking for can opener I would never have to wash. What I got was can opener that cut the lip of can & when I done... I have a lid for the can that fits perfectly so well fine it looks like the can was never opened. I wondering well that would work on your ammunition spam in can.
NICE
