....more ammo!

[armedhippie]

That is Awesome Cool norinco box. Never seen that1. What's the manufacture year on that?

I've ended up collecting different Norinco ammo lately but down here...its a grind hunting down old ammo that made it in before the final ban of 1994. Its fun when you do find a new to you box or caliber though. You can go months w/o seeing any then a small stash will pop up in  local pawn or gun shops.

So....if you find yourself covered up with empty boxes after a day at the range and need a place to dispose of a couple empties.... I could help you out 

Cool that its a 1200 count case as well. How much does that set you back $ ?

[Luke2236]

This is new 2016 commercial production (we can still get Chinese stuff up here), non-corrosive. Doesn't come in the usual surplus wooden crate+spam cans - just boxed up inside a plastic bag with a wooden liner top and bottom. Aprx US$270 for the 1200rds.

Some more box pics for ya

NICE!

And interesting to see what they offer these days.

Very cool man. Thanks for the pics of all the sides Every color and caliber box is a lil different. Would you happen to have any other norinco ammo?  Is it Berdan or boxer primed? Thanks again Luke, there are quite a few of us Norinco collectors around, so its neat to see the new stuff.

[Luke2236]

I've used a fair bit of their surplus 5.56 and some of their older spam can 7.62x39, but those were just plain white box (5.56) or paper wrapped (7.62).  This new stuff is berdan primed also and the only Norinco ammo I have right now. If you really want a few of the boxes to collect, PM me your address and after next range visit I'll put some in the mail your way.

Somewhere I have got a blue box of Chinese/Norinco 9mm Luger ammo... And I have a red box and a green box of the Norinco x39, but I cant find them.

The 308 stuff I actually found a dozen boxes at a flea market...took'em all. 

[Luke2236]

I've seen some Norinco silver box stuff too in the past, but wasn't mine.

Soooo....what now, I'm supposed to hang on to ammo boxes too to collect? That's another rabbit hole I don't need to fall into right now LOL!  Interesting to see some of the older stuff though no doubt.

It's collectable to us cause we cant get it no more...    Believe me, we wants it.....we needs it

Naw.. you aint gotta save them boxes.. just send us the empty boxes.. It's called recycling, going green, saving your landfills, do it for....Canada, save those landfills from them terrible Norinco ammo boxes..

And rabbit holes are......fun, you never know whats at the bottom

I was looking at some old 54r the other day, in the wedge shaped cardboard box of 10 or 20 (i forget).
But when you take a sharpie and write the price in it, it kinda defeats the purpose of trying to sell a collectable box of ammo.

Wish bulk 54R was as inexpensive (not to mention available) as x39!

[newchi]

it will be more available by the end of the year.

  Awesome ! Your a good man. Gotta get to work but wanted to say a quick thank you sir.

I'll try and share a few pics tonight. I found a box of 9mm Mak last year and some 7.62x25, have a few different 7.62x39. GM, cool pics of that .308 man. I honestly haven't ran across that before.

Any1 found any Norinco boxed x54r?

I was looking at some old 54r the other day, in the wedge shaped cardboard box of 10 or 20 (i forget).

usually wedge shaped boxes are 15 round and possibly with strippers..thats what my older Russian and Finnish is.

I have 12 different military x54r ammo types, not including the Bear ammos, Wolf, S&B, LVE, and Prvi. I only have 20 rounds of Chinese x54 that came on brass strippers. The only ammo I have ever gotten brass Mosin strippers with.

Finnish boxed, Czech training rounds, '48 Russian on strippers in box, 2 types of Bulgarian, yellow tip heavy ball and light ball, Yugoslavian, 
row 2.. Czech light ball, 2 types Romanian(one silver tipped, other is not), Chinese, Albanian, and East German training rounds(loaded equal to a x39)



Close up of the Finnish military boxed x54r. I want to look inside, but both are sealed.

That's pretty frickin' cool!    .......*yawing rabbit hole beckons*...

I had to look in the box labeled ammo, not for shooting.

Nice.. got a clearer shot of the label..

Rabbit hole..    A few more oddities from further down the hole..

[Luke2236]

@Greasemonkey - your sig becomes clearer now!

[newchi]

Anyone know when they stopped putting them in wedge packets?  In case i ever run across a unopened can.
