Gun Collectors Dream Auction #87 General Gun Auction
Lot 1186:
Description
This lot consists of 100 rounds of Russian-made Golden Tiger brand ammunition chambered in 7.62x39mm. The ammunition is distributed across five factory-original cardboard boxes, with each individual box containing 20 cartridges. The cartridges feature 124-grain Full Metal Jacket Boat Tail (FMJBT) projectiles with a lead core, seated in lacquered steel cases that exhibit a uniform olive-drab finish. A distinctive purple sealant is applied to the case mouths and primer pockets to provide moisture resistance and ensure long-term reliability. Key markings visible on the front of each box include the Golden Tiger logo with a tiger head, the caliber designation 7.62×39 FMJBT, the quantity 20 CARTRIDGES, and specific load details including 124 GR, LEAD CORE, STEEL CASE, and NON-CORROSIVE. The back of the boxes displays a target graphic and repeats the quantity and manufacturer logo. The cartridges appear to be in factory condition, consistent with modern commercial production intended for use in semi-automatic and bolt-action firearms chambered for this caliber.
Condition report:
The ammunition is in excellent, factory-new condition and appears to be live. The lacquered steel cases show a consistent and smooth finish with no signs of rust or oxidation. The purple sealant at the case mouths and primers is intact across all inspected rounds. The copper-jacketed projectiles are clean and bright, free from tarnish or corrosion. The five cardboard boxes are in good condition, showing only minor shelf wear such as slightly softened corners and light surface scuffing, but they remain structurally sound and correctly labeled.
