Have a wooden crate with two OD green spam cans of 7.62x39mm. Each spam can is 660 rounds.

Marked in English as NONCORROSIVE and MADE TO HUNTING SPECIFICATIONS.

Have no need of them any longer. What is a range of price from "Best friend Ever" to "Retail value"?

He's not joking. The first case of 7.62 I ever purchased cost me $85 plus tax. 1000 round case, btw.

I remember those days, and Norinco Ak's were around $300.00, we will not see that happen again!

Fixed it for you.

If it is Norinco ammo, it is worth more to a collector than it would be to a shooter.

Sorry, forgot to post, I am fairly sure it is Russian production.

Its prolly this right here.

1 x 640 rds - 7.62x39 FMJ 122 grain Ammo in Sealed Spam Can made in Russia by Ulyanovsk - $125.95
SKU: 762x39-uly-640

I got this from SGAmmo back last 8/11/2011. That was the going rate then. I have mine still unopened. And plan on keeping it that way. Got other ammo in cans I use for shooting, and that one (of many other spam cans) will be a rainy day use kind of thing.

While we are talking ammo values.....

What would some old Chicom green box steel core be worth? I think it is either Chinasports or Norinco marked.

Approx $8-10 per box of 20 based on auction sites.

Just before the current Prez was elected, Wolf was $80/1000 rds. However, I just picked up a case of 1000 rds Fiocci non magnetic ammo made in Hungary for $300. Nice ammo too. GARY N4KVE
