08:09 *Ammo packet code* Barnaul uses a dual number and Cyrillic letter code for its hunting ammo. The number is the cartridge and the letter is the bullet type. *1* is 5.45x39mm Soviet, *2* is .223 Remington, *3* is 7.62x39mm Soviet, *4* is 7.62x51mm NATO, *5* is 7.62x54mmR Russian and *6* is 9x18mm Makarov. *O* is FMJ, *П* ("P") is Soft Point, *Х* ("Ch") is Hollow Point, and *Ш* ("Sh") is Blank. So *3O* is 7.62x39mm FMJ. The ink color indicates the case material. Blue ink means lacquered steel case.

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.
7.62x39 seems to be in stock right now at good ol sgammo. No crates, but I see cases of Barnaul and Golden Tiger in stock. Also still seeing the surplus .30 carbine ammo In bandoliers available.
Spam can came in today. I went from the sides to preserve the top and rim. Corners are a lot easier that way, but you need to do smaller incriments of movement between motions.
I recently open other spam can of 7.62x25 Bulgarian Surplus from 1952 hearing the hist is definitely super satisfying just wish you could still get Surplus 7.62x25 still was glad that I made the purchase before the spike in price happened years ago if anybody is able to find that Surplus its way way overpriced cool video
I have about 300 rounds of yugo m67 with red paint on the primers my uncle gave me like 6 years ago he told me it was shitty ammo and he just gave it to me ,but it shoots really good out of my norinco sks seems a little hotter of a load than standard commercial ammo I've bought in a long time.just my opinion tho.great videos too Mike keep up the awesome work.
@@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)
good video sir, this is good ammo, good food for your ak and sks rifles. this ammo is produced by Barnaul in russia, this is probably the best cheap milspec ammo from russia. 👍👍👍
Use the tool..for about 3 inches..use tin snips to cut 2 slits about 4 inches in the middle..peel that back..flip the can over..dump the shit out...like shake and bake..why waltz when you can rock and roll.
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?
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.
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.
@@tonypengo Nah, it's just how I am. Inundated with moronic RUclips 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.

those little labels just say "O.K." (they have have been checked) Kontroler on the left one. the other one says "tires" lol probably it's the name of the "Kontroler" The occasional Russian popping in here may know it better.
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.
Hey mike, I got a question, I have two lee enfields, one is the average no.4, and the other is identical, but with a barrel two inches longer, any explanations
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
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.

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.
Hello Mike can you distinguish between the Russian spam can and the Bulgarian, I got about 14 ,but I'm sure, whether if that's Russian or Bulgarian.

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).
