I recently purchased several tins of Chinese 7.62 ammo from an auction. This tin was included, but there were no indications on the lid as to what type of ammo was inside. Nearly everyone who saw the tin said that it was 7.62x39, while some said that it was 7.62x54r or 7.62x25. What ended up being inside was a nice surprise! Please like and subscribe for more ammo tin openings and reviews on rare surplus rifles!

wow, made in july 1955, more than 60 years ago and in such pristine condition. and it is rare as it is in brass, most 7.62x54mm ammo from China were steel case

@kaifengchen421 6 жыл бұрын

these are Type53 Light version bullet(designed in 1953) used for Chinese Type53 infantry&cavalry rifle which were modeled on Mosinagant M1944. the heavy version bullet used for Type53 heavy machine-gun.type53 heavy version bullets out of PLA decades ago but light bullets still in use. Yours were made in 1955 as it printed. Good day~

The year of the cartridge and the year of the rifle that used it are not related except in the sense it was the year they were adopted. The Type 53 cartridge is based on the 7.62x54mmR Russian M1891 Cartridge, adopted in China in 1953.

This is a very old can made in China during 50s (Aug. 1955 according to the tag inside). Copper/brass cased light ball ammo.

Nice. The factory code is not for a "Norinco" factory - that wasn't created until the 80's - so this was a military ammo factory product. Thanks for sharing.

I realize that is an older video, but what the hell, I'll comment. I've always enjoyed opening mystery spam cans. Will be doing it more, with the interest in it becoming more wide spread. Will probably focus on popular ones first. In any case, extremely satisfying video. Thanks man.

wow, made in July (55年7月) 1955, light ball (轻), brass casing (铜) 7.62x54mm ammo.

@zhli4238 2 жыл бұрын

This ammo is for Type 53 carbine, the Chinese version of M44 Mosin Nagant carbine, which chambers 7.62 x 54R. That single word is 輕 (or light), indicating this is for the official name of Type 53, 輕騎步槍 or light cavalry rifle. This short rifle can be fired from horseback.

I feel this is made by Taiwan (China). Only thing I know is those are steel casing ammo....

@SidneyBroadshead 5 жыл бұрын

No, it was made by Factory 31 in Mainland China. It also has a light lead-core bullet and a brass cartridge-case rather than the light steel-core bullet and copper-washed steel cartridge-case they used later.

Looks like this stuff would need to be used in a Mosin. I wonder how it performed after so long. Did you use it?

@no.step.on.snek.2423 2 жыл бұрын

Its fine. Ammo dont have an expiration date. I shot 22 short from 1906 last year and it had a higher chrono than cci. . Yhr lead had oxidized bad and that didnt help accuracy. But all 50 shot. And rimfire ammo isnt mfg to anywhere near the quality of centerfire..

I know if you come across the silver on yellow tip it's a heavy ball steel core armor piercing round 174 grain

@SidneyBroadshead 5 жыл бұрын

Silver tip was Semi-Armor-Piercing with a mild steel penetrator in its core. Yellow tip was Heavy Ball, used mostly in machine-guns. When Semi-Armor-Piercing became standard (the "Universal" round), the tip was changed to unpainted and Light Ball was discontinued.

Sadly, the Chinese brass clips are very brittle now. A good bunch of them will snap just like in your video. Ammo is usually very good though.
