If anyone is wondering, The Uzina factory is in the city of Bumbești-Jiu.

Good stuff as always. I like this series. With the recent imports of the Portuguese M937s I find myself with more 8mm than ever before and it's been fun shooting it more often. Keep up the good work!

Thanks for all the testing and info! I have two factory 22 spam cans that are dated 1978. Headstamps, lot #, & powder lot # are all dated 1978. LMK if you want a couple 20-rd boxes to test.

I wish I could remember the source but I read these rounds were made for the syrian army in the 1970s who still had some mausers in service for rear guard soldiers. Romania was a military supplier for them for other arms and munitions as well. Maybe a place to start if you want to go down that rabbit hole..

I've often wondered who these were made for. The cases are 1mm short & they're kind of loaded on the mild side.

The big issue with the Romanian stuff is the carbon ring that forms Causes feeding issues with standard 8mm mauser Look it up!

Gotta love a powder with Paraffin as an ingredient.

I always assumed this ammo was made for MG42s they had lying around. I think they kept those in service up until and even after they adopted the PK/PKM But that wouldn’t really explain the ammo that comes on clips

Romania's arms industry is renowned for making poor quality guns & ammo. Having quite a bit of both, I can concur. I'm glad I got the Romanian 8mm when it was around $35 crate. 🤠
