| Good stuff, shot a bunch back in the day, still have a few boxes somewhere. Good price in today's market, especially since that ammo is desirable to some collectors, have seen it go for over 11 bucks a box back when regular AK ammo was 200-300 a case. |

Cripes, I may to dig out my stash and sell it if people are paying that much.  *neckbearding urge intensifies* Well can't find my yellow box stuff just yet but found 10 boxes of the green/white box stuff, both FMJ and some SP's, doesn't seem to be as common as the yellow or green box stuff, have to do some research I guess, looks like this (not my pic):

They also make it in a red box, and the only the I know about the differences is that the red box stuff is the newest. |

Be aware... a lot of Chinese ComBloc ammo claimed to be non-corrosive but it wasn't> Be sure to clean accordingly. |

I remember when it was Pennie’s per round Yep, I cut a round open back in the day, the little steel core is about the consistency of fencing wire, very mild, not AP. |

| Rob Ski tested various 7.62x39 loads in one of his videos and if I remember correctly, Norinco had the most wildly varied velocity over a chrono. Not the most consistent or accurate by a long shot. BUT, it is sure-fire stuff. I used to buy a case for less than $100 and shoot my SKS and MAK all weekend. I don't recall ever having a dud. |

I bought it for that reason alone.
