Used to be $99.00 per crate like that. That was my America. Id get 2 crates at a time. It was nothing unusual to each shoot 300 rounds off on a weekend. We all had AK's that were preban semi autos , and like 30 30 round mags for them. Now all thats gone, and most of my old pals have passed .

It says that is 7.62mm Normal type (steel). That is for type 56 (Chinese type AK47). On the right it says 2/1 boxes, made about 1985 product by No. 16 factory. I was served in Chinese army for 3 years, I think those are reserve ammo cause back in my days there only one big metal case inside the wood box.

How did we all end up here.

Here is the BETTER translation! (hope your system can indicate Chinese characters!) 7.62普(钢): 7.62 Ball Ammunition(steel). Usually, the "steel" means "bimetal". If the character is “钢涂”， it means "lacquer-coated". It's rare to find "铜" (copper). 56式: Type 56. There are three Type 56 weapons: Type 56 semiautomatic rifle (SKS), Type 56 "submachine gun" (AK), and Type 56 LMG (RPD). They all use 7.62×39mm ammo. 750发: 750rds 2/1樟16/67-85: This line is the info of the powder. "2/1樟" is the name of powder, meaning the powder has one through-hole and been treated with 樟脑 (camphor). The "burning layer" is about 0.2mm thick. "16/67-85" means LOT 16, year 67, factory 85. 15-82-61: the production date, LOT 15, year 82 factory 61.

Chinese mil-surp ammunition was cheaper to buy than .22LR back in the 1980's. They used corrosive mercuric Berdan primers, which have an incredible shelf life when the ammunition is stored under proper conditions. Most surplus firearms chambered for the 7.62 X 39MM round, like the SKS (except the Yugo variants), have chrome plated chambers & bores, so the use of corrosive ammunition is mitigated.

The brown rappers in squares look like Fudge my mom makes on the holidays 😂

In fact the word"56式" on the wood box means the ammo type but not the rifle. There are at least 3 kinds of rifle and ammunition named in "56式". For ammunition "56式" means the chinese type 7.62x39mm, it has copper jacket, soft steel core(it is cheaper, can save lead and more easy to manufacture) and steel shell casing(to save copper, and the shell casing are covered with a little copper to prevent rust). For rifles we call sks "56半"（full name ist 56式半自动步枪，type56 semi-auto rifle）. And the ak47(not AKM. At the age akm was designed, the relationship between China and USSR became really bad so it is impossible for China to get AKM design) are called 56冲 (full name is 56式冲锋枪，type56 SMG). There are two reasons why ak47 was called SMG in China. Firstly, ak47 took the place of PPS-43 SMG in china army so the new weapon(ak47) in solders' hands is called SMG. Secondly , the concept of assault rifle is really really late imported into China(about 1970s oder 1980s i think) thats all and i like your videos ;)

Hi, I know about that Chinese ammo box says. The military reference a lot of Soviet Union arms system to build Chinese system, so in alot of things ,they didn't have much different. In wood box, line1,"7.62普（钢）" means 7.62毫米普通步枪弹（钢芯）, on English is 7.62mm normal ammunition with steel core (this sounds like armor-piercer bullet, but is not ,they just like FMJ ammo, normal, and lot being use day by day....) line2, "56式“ means type 56 line3, yes, "发" means contain how much round inside. and in wood box right line1,can't see it ,but they should by same like spam can ,"2/1 樟 16/67-85" ,2/1樟 means two can in this camphor wood box , and I'm sure with next, they probably means ammo cartridge material batch number. line2, "15-82-61"means this wood box in 1982 by factory code name 61 manufactured, batch number is 15 line3, "全重30公斤“，means this ammo with wood box, Wight 30 kg. ps.all this ammo look like made by copper, but is not, ther just have copper coating, inside they made by steel, China didn't like US have a lot copper resources , so .....ues steel ceas , steel bullet, will make ammo be chiper, outside copper coating give that ammo work like copper ammo, but it ues in non-China type weapon, sometime cause Jams. In new type ,like type87(DPB87) ,we still use steel cease, didn't coated with copper,but coated with paint...... and they do this with type 56 too...

+Joey P I would say it boils down to your government and your domestic arms and ammo industries not wanting the cheap imports of Chinese guns and ammo to continue, there was a time that Chinese guns and ammo were cheap and widely available in the USA.

One reason we don’t get Chinese guns is: the Chinese can make the Ak47 and it’s variants for about $150.00 verses our money grubbing arms dealers have to charge the govt about $900.00 to over $1000.00 per copy for the AR16 variation No.4. I hate it, you hate it, everyone hates it!

There is a certain "joy" in opening up a fresh crate of ammo.

The ak47 or akm which is what they use does hold 30 rounds but the recommended magazine load is 25.

I paid $39.00 back in the 1980’s for the same thing! Good times.....

It was cheaper to buy a brand new SKS carbine & military surplus ammo than to buy a .22 rimfire rifle & .22 LR ammunition. Hell had frozen over. Then Bill Clinton walked among us, & hell returned with a fury.

When opening once you get the key started on the strip you can just grab the strip with a pliers and pull it off it is a lot faster and safer

The resulting strip of sharp steel is not as "safe" as the coiled up piece you get from opening it with the tool provided.

Older Czech 7.62x39 came in metal spam cans, unlike the later stuff in plastic. I've shot a lot of the Czech stuff, and I must say I prefer the Chinese military 7.62x39 as it's been more accurate and the 1980's Chinese stuff is far less corrosive than the Czech ammo is. True the empty crates are less useful and no chargers, but I have lots of chargers already.

A hammer claw can also very easily tear the banding too. Just insert the strap as you would a nailhead... twist the handle around to tension the banding... and thence pry it as you would a nail... VIOLA ... !

When I bought this years ago it was on clips and the clips loaded into an SKS. Rifle with bayonet, new with bandoleer, cleaning kit, oilier and sling was 79$. With 1 crate of ammo less than $125. Unfortunately our right to bear arms un-infringed here in the US has become up for interpretation. Everything from zipcode to origin of arms has been used to restrict, tax and infringe our rights.

These are very much sought after ammo too, light armor piercing. I got some from the Vietnam war time, The advantage in that war the communist has this light armor piercing that zip through very wide trees and a lot of brush, While the Americans 5.56 would go into3 inch's of brush.
