Unfortunately no markings on Tins

They are 7.62x39

Anyone able, even estimate, the round count in these?

Just doing the math based off of the size of a single 7.62x39 and an estimated volume of those tins as there where no measurements given I’d say there is at least 5 in there likely more

I think one is 7.62x39 and the other is Tokerev. Just strictly judging by the corner of the boxes

Unacceptable

The top with rounded corners looks like a 750rd. Though it depends whether its on stripper clips or not

My 720s look like the top tin.

Mystery tin for the win?

Weigh an empty tin, and a single cartridge. Weigh the full tin, subtract the weight of the empty one, and divide that value by the weight of one cartridge. You could also do it with a full clip since we don’t know if they’re loose or not.

Open them. They are likely 750 or 720 round cans.

Most likely Chinese production from how the pull
Tab looks. Usually 70s to 80s

Without markings there is no way to tell. The bottom one looks a bit shorter so for all I know you could have 7.62x25 (pretty much useless to most people)

Open it

u/kestik 1d ago

The square tin is almost certainly 720 rounds of 7.62x39

u/noobte 1d ago

probably 700 or 740

Chinese 720 on clips is not as long and has the sardine can/twist key type opening.
