Just bought 900 rounds of  Norinco (China Sports) 7.62x39 sp and two brand new  German 30 rd mags for 100 bucks ?

Is this stuff any good ?

Doesn't sound bad to me, Norinco SP hasn't been imported for 10 years. Likely never again with our policies towards Chinese guns, ammo, and parts. I've whacked a number of groundhogs with the stuff, it doesn't really expand because of the steel case but it fragments pretty good and did the job. I usually found multiple exit wounds from it breaking up. Be nice to see a range report comparing it to the newer Russian loads...

i never had good results, accuracy wise, from the chinese ammunition. is this the yellow box stuff? as stated, chinese ammo has long been gone from our shores and is looked upon more as a collector's item than something to shoot.

the mags are worth $7 each.

So It looks as if I did OK on the ammo ($80 for 900 rds) since it was cheaper than Wolf.

But paid too much for the E German Mags (2 x $13)  Well Im learning .....

no its a green and white box imported by ChinaSports in Ontario Canada

Since Im not a collector, Im taking this is good range/fun ammo then ?

Good ammo. I just assume the chicom ammo is corrosive, so give it a good bath after shooting.
