Description

A lot consisting of 100 rounds of GOLDEN Tiger brand rifle ammunition, packaged in five individual cardboard boxes, each containing 20 cartridges. This commercial import ammunition is highly regarded among shooters of AK-47 and SKS pattern rifles. The caliber is 7.62x39mm. Specifications printed on the distinctive yellow and orange packaging confirm the bullet type is Full Metal Jacket Boat Tail (FMJBT), weighing 124 grains (GR), featuring a lead core and a steel case. The ammunition is specified as non-corrosive. The cartridges themselves feature a distinctive greenish-khaki lacquered steel case and a copper-colored projectile. A prominent purple lacquer sealant is visible around the case mouth, a common feature intended to enhance moisture resistance and reliability. Though the country of origin is not explicitly marked, GOLDEN Tiger is historically associated with high-quality Russian manufacturing and reliability. The packaging features a graphic illustration of a roaring tiger head. Total quantity is 100 rounds.
