Lot 220:
Russian Ulyanovsk Machine Tool Plant 3 Hollow Point 7.62x39mm Centerfire Ammunition Lot of 200 Rounds
Description
This lot consists of a collection of 200 rounds of Russian-manufactured 7.62x39mm centerfire rifle ammunition, specifically configured with 8-gram (approximately 123-grain) hollow point projectiles. The cartridges feature lacquer-coated steel cases with a characteristic brownish-green finish and reddish sealant applied to both the case mouths and the primer pockets to enhance moisture resistance. Inspection of the headstamps reveals the factory code “3” at the 12 o’clock position and “15” at the 6 o’clock position, identifying production at the Ulyanovsk Machine Tool Plant (Plant 3). Included with the loose-packed rounds are three original paper labels identifying the contents as non-corrosive, made-in-Russia ammunition produced to hunting specifications. This ammunition is commonly utilized in SKS and AK-pattern rifles and is noted for its distinctive steel-cased construction typical of Russian export munitions.
Condition report:
The ammunition appears to be in good, clean condition. The steel cases retain a consistent lacquer finish with minor scattered surface browning or storage wear typical of bulk-packed steel-cased munitions. Projectiles are clean without visible oxidation on the copper-washed surfaces. Primers are seated properly and appear live; however, mechanical function and firing reliability have not been tested. The included paper labels show light age-toning and minor creasing but remain fully legible.
