The last gunshow I was at had 1 case of Norinco steel core. He was asking 50 cents a round and didn't seem to be selling much. I would not pay that for it, especially being corrosive. Normal price seems to be around 30 cents per round, and that sells. Your lowest price should be based on how much you paid for it. If I had some to sell, I'd probably ask 30 cents (figuring I paid less than that). Someone will probably buy it. |
| It's worth what the market will bear. I'd never pay 50 cents a cartridge, but I have several cases of Chinese steel core I bought in the late '80s. I've seen people ask $10.00 for ten cartridges on a stripper. I don't know if they ever sold any. You need to decide whether it's more important to get maximum price or to move the merchandise and set the price according to your priorities. |

From the Firequest catalog I got today: www.firequest.com Armor Piercing 7.62x39 Ammunition These Chineses (sp) armor piercing projectiles contain a steele (sp) core of which allows it (?) to penetrate most metal objects. These rounds do just that...PENETRATE!! this ammo is non-corrosive and full of power. If you want ot pack apunch this ammo is what you need. Cannot ship to the following: P.O. Boxes, APO, CU, FPO, IL, HI, AK, MA, MD, NJ, NY, PR or CA. Order # AM762 (10 Pack)............ $24.99 Order # AM962 (100 Pack)......... $149.99 Mike |
Can you cite a source for your information on why the various governments used steel for the core? |
I'd like that question answered also. |
Am I naive? The Norinco boxes describe the ammo as non-corrosive. AK47 ammo |
The first post in this thread asked about copper washed cased cartridges packed on stripper clips in cans. All that ammunition is corrosive. The ammunition which was manufactured for commercial sale and packed in boxes was non-corrosive. |
