Lot 1579:
Lot of 200 Russian 7.62x39mm Hollow Point Centerfire Rifle Cartridges
Description
This lot consists of a verified count of 200 rounds of Russian-manufactured 7.62x39mm centerfire rifle ammunition. These cartridges feature lacquer-coated steel cases with a distinctive reddish-brown sealant applied at the case mouth and primer pocket to enhance moisture resistance. The projectiles are copper-jacketed hollow points (HP), specifically designated for hunting applications. Included with the loose ammunition are three printed paper labels: two larger labels are printed with CENTERFIRE AMMUNITION NON-CORROSIVE CAL. 7,62×39—8 HP L.C.B. MADE TO HUNTING SPECIFICATIONS KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN, and a third smaller label is printed with MADE IN RUSSIA 200 pcs. The headstamps on the base of the cartridges display the factory code 15 and the year of production 97, indicating manufacture at the Ulyanovsk Machine Tool Plant in 1997. This ammunition is consistent with late 20th-century commercial Russian production intended for the export market. Note – All firearms require a federal 4473 background check.
Condition report:
The ammunition appears to be in good, clean condition. The lacquer coating on the steel cases is largely intact with minor scattered scuffs consistent with bulk storage. The copper jackets on the hollow point projectiles show a bright, even color. There is no visible evidence of significant corrosion, oxidation, or verdigris on the cases or primers. The reddish-brown sealant remains present and well-defined. The included paper labels show some age-related yellowing and light staining but remain entirely legible. All cartridges appear to be live and functional.
