Description

This lot features a total of 100 rounds of Golden Tiger brand 7.62x39mm ammunition, produced by the Vympel State Production Association in Russia. This specific ammunition is highly regarded by collectors and shooters for its consistent performance and quality components. Each cartridge features a 124-grain Full Metal Jacket Boat Tail (FMJBT) projectile with a lead core and copper jacket. The cartridges utilize lacquer-coated steel cases in a characteristic greenish-brown color, designed for smooth cycling in semi-automatic platforms. A distinctive characteristic of this manufacture is the vibrant purple lacquer sealant applied to both the case neck and the primer pocket to ensure moisture resistance and long-term storage stability. The ammunition is confirmed to be non-corrosive. The collection is housed in five original cardboard boxes, each containing 20 rounds, featuring the recognizable orange and yellow Golden Tiger logo and branding.
