Looks to me like

200
CART. 7.62X51MM
BALA/NORMAL
NATO cross
FNM 78-14


Obviously I know it's a battle pack of .308, but past that, wondering year of manufacture, where it's from, and approximate value.

I believe it is Portuguese, made in 1978.

As for value, <shrug>

considering I can buy new manufacture for .50 cpr+

I see. From what I've seen, the Portuguese battle packs run about $100.00, but I don't know if that would apply based on the age.

Somebody might pay that, - some people like battlepacks.
but for .50/rnd I would rather buy ZQI. (YMMV)

I think that ammo is also berdan primed which makes it difficult to reload.

That's what I was thinking. I don't really see the allure of having it sealed in plastic, but I saw some links for it at $139 for a battle pack too.

Either way, I got it off of a buddy who was moving to NY state for work... serves me no use as the only 308 rifle I have is a precision bolt action that I'm not shooting milsurp through.

BTW... the Port. .308 surplus is quite accurate.
