- 7.62x39 ammo ammunition chinese
Wrapped in paper, sometimes with string tie or not, 20 or 30 rounds to a bundle
It is probably copper washed, but there were different colors of some kind of paint/lacquer. The copper wash is generally the early stuff. You do not have to worry about the copper washed ammo sticking in a hot chamber. The lacquer ammo does quite well however as that is what is used today.
Here is some "chocolate" ammo, what I call it, that I picked up somewhere a long time ago.
Just shooting from the hip here, but I don't think it has much novelty/collector value, and if theres any at all, you'd probably need to post it somewhere like Gunbroker or one of the AK or SKS forums to capitalize on it. Around here, my guess is you'd need to price it about the same as other steel-cased imported x39 (, you must employ your GoogleFu!)
