Gun Collectors Dream Auction #88 December 5th & 6th
Lot 1345:
Description
This lot contains a verified total of approximately 281 rounds of loose centerfire rifle ammunition in 7.62x39mm caliber, a cartridge widely utilized in SKS and AK-47 pattern firearms. The collection is comprised of approximately equal parts olive drab lacquered steel cases and brass-plated or copper-washed steel cases. The lacquered steel cases feature red sealant at the case mouth and primer pocket, a characteristic typical of Russian and Eastern Bloc manufacturers such as Wolf, Tula, or Barnaul. All rounds are topped with copper-toned full metal jacket (FMJ) spitzer bullets. Many of the brass-colored cases also exhibit red lacquer sealant around the primers. The ammunition is stored loose in a clear plastic container and exhibits clean surfaces with no evidence of major corrosion or bullet setback. Note – All firearms require a federal 4473 background check.
Condition report:
The ammunition appears to be in good, live condition. The lacquered steel and brass-plated cases show minor scuffing and superficial marks consistent with loose bulk storage, but remain free of significant oxidation or structural damage. Bullets are securely seated. Primers appear original and unspent.
