How do you even open that beast? Is that thing welded? I have no idea what it is. Open it up and find out.

Opening it up kills some of the value.  The proper way to open it is with the wire on top.  The manly way to open it is with a plasma torch.

I will say its either 7.62x39 or 7.62x54r... I have seen many a cases of old russian 7.62x54r that look like that, however ive seen a couple 7.62x39 cases like that as well. Im going to do some more looking and try to give you an exact answer, as of now though im saying its deffinitly one of the 2 I mentioned.

Thanks, Jim.  I figured x39 since there are 660 rounds.  x54 usually has 440 rounds.

I believe you are correct sir, however im trying to figure out where its from, def. not russian. Possibly Bulgarian?

Either way store it or use it and enjoy it! I support both choices!
