Lot 580:
Lot of 150 Rounds Barnaul Machine Tool Plant 7.62x39mm Hollow Point Centerfire Ammunition 1993
Description
This lot consists of a collection of 150 rounds of 7.62x39mm centerfire rifle ammunition produced by the Barnaul Machine Tool Plant in Russia. The cartridges feature lacquered steel cases with a brown finish and are loaded with 8-gram copper-washed hollow point projectiles, designed according to hunting specifications. Red sealant is visible around the primers and case mouths, characteristic of Russian manufacturing standards. The ammunition is accompanied by three original paper labels; two identify the contents as non-corrosive, 8-gram HP L.C.B. ammunition, and a third specifies the country of origin as Russia and the individual box quantity as 20 pieces. Headstamp markings on the cases include the factory code 17, identifying the Barnaul Machine Tool Plant, and the date code 93, signifying production in 1993. This ammunition is a classic example of post-Soviet commercial production intended for the export market.
Condition report:
The ammunition is in very good condition. The lacquered steel cases are clean with no visible signs of corrosion, oxidation, or significant handling wear. The projectiles retain their copper-washed finish with only minor shelf wear. The red sealant at the case mouths and primers is intact. The included paper labels show light yellowing and minor staining consistent with age but remain entirely legible. The ammunition appears live and functional, though mechanical performance has not been tested.
