BigHunt is correct, that is not 7n1. All 7n1 cans will state "СНАЙПЕРСКИЕ" or "Sniper" on it.
The "ЛПС" after the 7.62 is "LPS"
The "гж" is the case type, which will be copper-washed steel
The "Л94" = Lot #L94, "77" is year of manufacture, and "188" is the factory (Novosibirsk / LVE)
This is pretty standard surplus stuff, but given the rate at which it's coming in... yeah, it's rare! Hahaha
I have a sealed tin just like the OP but I agree it's not 7N1,It's made by the same factory and is excellent ammo. I paid $79 for the last Tin of that ammo I bought a few years ago an when you run across some for sale on the net which is not often the going rate is about twice that price or more.
yeah that's the Russian pkm ammo brother. rguns had it cheap I think they might have gotten it from pac west same source as dan sporting goods. I watched it go up and up when I could only focus on saving ammo monies by buying pallets of other ammo and other stuff knowing full well id have to buy at higher prices and I hit it right in the middle at 90 a spam. 30 to 40 bucks wholesale a spam I knew wouldn't last for ever. I saw how many nagants were coming in and gun popularity in that caliber and others and did the math on paper with a buddy at a bar.
I plopped down cash on a pallet and half of this at last moment then did the same on 545. got bit by the 545 even worse and im still happy I did. bought all the stuff I could as I could afford it. I barely had enough money at times to travel and by golly I did it all. this hobby is a sickness that robs you of cash and free time if you let it.
oh! and worse thing you could do is give that spam back to the guy and complain he didn't give you a free svd ammo spam!
Glad I checked here, and thanks for the info! I'll contact the guy and let him know...it may have been an honest mistake. In any event, my friend never paid a dime for this, so nothing was lost.
