Opening a Chinese AMMO CAN from 1970

  • Something a little different in this video. We open up a pretty grungy spam can from 1970. What will the rounds look like after 48 years? It's kind of like opening a time-capsule.
    This is from the "golden age" (of my lifetime) of mil-surp when this stuff was being flooded into the country and was very inexpensive. I wish I had more disposable income back then- I could only afford to buy so much.

    Chinese Markings
    00:15 Upper Left side of can:
    *56 式* ("Type 56") means that it is 7.62x39mm M43 Soviet ammo (adopted by China in 1956).
    00:17 Upper Right side of the can:
    *7.62 普 (钢)* means "7.62mm bore, Universal [bullet], ([Copper-Clad] Steel [Case]; AKA Bimetallic)". It is a semi-armor-piercing bullet (lead bullet with a steel penetrator) and a copper-clad steel case. Since it is the standard round, it doesn't have a painted tip like the specialty rounds (Tracer, Armor-Piercing Incendiary, etc.) do.
    00:24 Lower Left side of can:
    *0893-201* means it is Lot 893 from Factory 201. *8----70* means it was made in the 8th month (August), ##70 year (1970).
    Lower Right side of can:
    *2/1 樟 ??/69 25* means it is smokeless powder (樟 > "Camphor" > Smokeless Powder) with a tubular grain that has a 0.2mm-thick wall and 1 central perforation (artillery tubular powders have clusters of central perforations). The Batch number is the fraction after that: *??/69* , meaning Batch number ?? (obliterated number) made in 1969. The factory number of the powder mill looks to be "25".
    Packing label
    The piece of cardboard has markings giving the contents of the can and any lot information that could help with quality control.
    04:50 Packing label (right side of the table):
    *7.62 普 (钢)* repeats the cartridge information from the can lid: caliber (7.62mm), type of bullet (Universal), and type of case (bimetallic [copper- clad steel]).
    There is a line of red text near the lower right edge of the cardboard: "201" is the factory number; it is followed by a string of Chinese pictograms that I can't make out.
    04:54 Packing label (left side of the table): The column header *包裝* means "Packaged", *70年8月* on the line below it means "1970 year, 8th month" (August 1970). The pictograms in the column to the right of the text is probably the name of the person who packed or sealed the can. "No.4" might be the inspector's ID number.
    06:22 Headstamp:
    *201* [12 o'clock] over *70* [6 o'clock] means it was made in 1970 by Factory 201.

    I remember those days. You could literally buy a SKS for $50. I can remember at our local gun store there would be a 50 gallon barrel filled with old wooden military rifles from around the world for less than $50 each. I got a 7.7 "Jap" Arisaka out of it one time for $30 that still had the mum on it. I wish I still had that old rifle.

  • @KathrynLiz1
    @KathrynLiz1 2 ปีที่แล้ว +36

    Yes I shot thousands of rounds of that back in the 90s.... it was 100% reliable..... it shot about 3 MoA in my SKS... I did try pulling a few of the bullets and replacing them with Hornady 123gr SP .311s... leaving powder etc intact. With the Hornady bullets the Sks shot just a fraction over 1 MoA..... although when you consider that the Hornadys cost more than 6 rounds of the milsurp ammo, it was for research only.
    Norinco ammo is quality stuff.... like their guns, nothing fancy but they always work.

    Enjoyed the video. If you have any more tins like this one with ammo you want to get a long steel rod to open them and put it through both loops at once and then pull. This way it does not slip out on you again. All the wire is, is a garrote for cans so both sides need pulled at once.

      Guys, the Eighties was the beginning of the end. Loonie lefties were already after handguns. Glocks' 'plastic' gun created a firestorm of controversy. The media machines (already left leaning then) alleged them to be invisible to x-ray machines. Thus hijacking airplanes, and bank robberies were going to be an everyday experience.
      Seeing those ads reminds me that once upon a time in America you could mail order a firearm. As a kid seeing the ads for guns in the back of Field and Stream, and Outdoor Life (IIRC) delivered to your door. But that went away with the Kennedy assassination. I remember seeing a Swiss military rifle with the straight pull bolt in Sears Roebuck for $11. The K-98 next to it was $16. Couldn't convince my dad that we needed one. As a twelve year old, at my grandparents, I could take my weeks chore money into the hardware store and buy a box or two of 22s, something like 65 cents a box for long rifles. No questions asked.
      My senior year we had a couple of race riots at school. Like other schools, the student parking lot had many trucks and cars with firearms, knives, and other implements of destruction. NOBODY went out and got one! The only shots fired were the police teargas rounds, which sent everybody home.
      Thats been my life and how much erosion of our liberty I've seen.
      Today, we have super uber boomsticks, but far fewer places to shoot them. We are far more affluent today, but a quality handgun is still about a weeks pay.
      What are the young people going to think about our shooting world of today in another 50 or 60 years.

    I used to go to gun shows, and buy 5000 rds of this stuff at a time, for as low as $200, then they banned the importation and of course, the prices started climbing. The Chinese ammo had steel cores, if I remember right, and was hard hitting.

    • @nomad155
      @nomad155 2 ปีที่แล้ว +17

      It was a myth. It's because you could convert an AK to pistol length which made the ammo "armour piercing". Their steel core is no more affective than your standards Wolf Ammo. It was politician jargon sadly.

    • @SidneyBroadshead
      @SidneyBroadshead 2 ปีที่แล้ว +13

      @@nomad155 The AK pistols are why you can't get surplus Warsaw Pact or ComBloc Armor-Piercing ammo any more. The importation of Armor-Piercing pistol ammo was banned in the 1980s (i think after Reagan's shooting). The availability of semi-auto AK "pistols" (short-barreled, stockless carbines) means they could legally be loaded with Armor-Piercing ammo. Therefore its importation was banned because it could potentially be used in a legal firearm classed as a pistol.
      "Steel core" ammo is Semi-Armor Piercing because it has a steel penetrator rather than a full steel core. It can still go through body armor or a steel helmet. You can actually buy surplus Semi Armor Piercing rifle ammo (except in some states like CA or MA that ban it) because it is specifically exempted from a ban on importing Armor-Piercing ammo. Because it uses mild steel rather than hardened steel, it actually aids in hunting tough game like boar or elk. They have heavy skeletons and pads of gristle that the round can plow through to get to the vitals. Armor Piercing ammo would overpenetrate and would be a danger to other hunters downrange.
      It's not the barrel length of the firearm but the piece of steel inside its center that makes it armor-piercing.

    • @SidneyBroadshead
      @SidneyBroadshead 2 ปีที่แล้ว +11

      You can't get Chinese ammo (even "Lead Core" Ball) because of their steel jackets. Customs uses a magnet to test ammo samples. If it sticks to a magnet, then it might have an Armor-Piercing core and be in violation of the Armor-Piercing ammo ban.
      There are also direct bans on Chinese ammo imports dating back to May, 1996. Customs found out NORINCO and Poly Technologies were trying to smuggle automatic AKs, RPG-7 rocket launchers, and heat-seeking anti-aircraft missile launchers to the Crips through Oakland. The Crips set had territory near LAX airport and the missile launchers could have been used to knock down airliners.
      Keng's Firearm Specialty / Keng Imports & Exports, which had ties to Poly Technologies, took a big hit and lost most of their standard inventory and customer base due to the ban. KFS used to import those big green ammo crates of 7.62x39mm ammo in SKS clips.

      i do have a few DJI drones.. inspire 2, mavic 2 pro, mavic air, and i did have a phantom 4 pro but i just sold it. all of these drones i can set waypoint missions using software and they can do it all themselves and return back on low power i can swap batteries out and start next set of missions.. i wonder if there is a affordable or even DIY laser based system i can use like 3D LIDAR system to map out the terrain. i seen results that equipment on helicopters can do with LIDAR 3D mapping they can strip away layer by layer trees and foliage and even map obvious what otherwise isn't. that's how they found ancient lost ruins sometimes is sending aircraft overhead, even tho its complete covered and walked over it many times never thought about it, somehow the 3D LIDAR mapping things from above can make it obvious..then they uncovered it. personally i would actually prefer a DIY method of getting these results..

I got an uncle on the white side of my family who lives outside Chico California who is into that and has constant business. The permitting is pretty straightforward and just filing fees. Just can't be a convicted felon or on a terror watch list. Takes a little bit of effort to figure out how the state and federal regulations apply to each other, but once you got your mind wrapped around it, smooth sailing. Just don't expect to be allowed to run around with a quad turret AAA gun or suppressors in california, but honestly the only states that don't give a fk are louisiana and arizona.
