The Russian Mosin Nagant Forum

It would not surprise me if they did, I know they had the 7.62x54 around in cans at that time. I was buying cheap Chinese new made ammo, it was so cheap back then that I had no reason to search out surplus. I do have some new commercial 7.62x39 in a green spam can I bought in the late 90's , I still have it and it's still sealed up .

$110 for a case, 1200, I think is what I paid for yellow box Norinco back then.

$65 1000, then later $75 1000 for the early Russian imports
