Same Seller...
Again not the best pictures.
Gut feelings about this Type II band?

Don't know about the ammo but don't have any gut feelings about the barrel band because it is a cut off type III.
Looks like a cut band to me,slight overhang on part that slides over barrel. .02
I think Cut off, zoomed in and there is no radius on bottom band. 90 degree cut!
Charlie, I tried working on the ammo labels in photoshop but didn't get very far. I am sure it is FMJ, but I THINK (not sure) that it is 95 grain. It MAY (based on the way the numbers are laid out on the box) be French (???) However, at $.60 a round, I would pass. There is nothing special about ammo that you can not identify. While I am sure that a person could read through the bag if you were standing there next to it, the photographer didn't think to simply push the bag down to take a better picture. Either the guy doesn't care to move it or he is deliberately being non-descriptive.
Not accusing, not being over daramtic and not on a witch hunt... Just can't read the label. Did you ask him for a more detailed description?
But the guy did have some very unique things in some of his other auctions. I wonder if they are genuine too.
Just my two cents worth....
It looks a lot like:
Prvi Partizan Ammunition
I bought up a sealed battle pack that looks like those pictures a year ago or so, in .223. That would be my bet on what it is, but the seller sure thinks it's gold, his buy it now price is 59 cents a round. I might pay that for Lake City brass ammo, but not for this.
My gut feeling on the band.........
Sick to my stomach!
If these guys can't take decent pictures, there not worth trying to contact.
I'm sick of trying to determine a parts marking, condition or ID from these shi##y pics.
Enough said.......
Have a great 4th fellow members,
Charlie
Yep. PRVI. BTW, PRVI is brass case, lead core, copper jacket. Were you implying by 'Lake City brass ammo' that PRVI is steel case?Quote:

Just my two cents...
It may also be that Russian "Tula" arsenal 30 carbine. Tula 7.62x39 comes in a white box just like that.
If you look at the last line on the far left box it seems to state "PPU".
The PPU stands for PRVI PARTISAN. Looks just like the packaging my Prvi .223 ammo came in.
Those are 100% Prvi (PPU) labels.
You can get the same ammo for $76 for 200 at AIM Surplus

Stickhauler; Sorry, I misunderstood. Yes, there's no brass like mil brass, that's for sure.
No, but given the choice of buying Privi brass cased ammo for $0.60 a round (or more) I'd sink the money into USGI issue ammo, preferably Lake City brass ammo.Quote:

It's up to $0.76 a round now? Hell, I'm finding Remington PMC at around $22.00 for 50 rounds, that's $0.44 a round.

Sadly, a good part of the military brass ammo I have I bought to keep, not shoot. I found a full bandolier of 1954 Lake City around a year ago priced right, I'll never shoot it because it's as old as I am. I found one of 1972 Lake City that I'll never shoot either, it was made the year I graduated from high school. But I was lucky enough to find a few 10 round stripper clips of loose ammo I bought up to use, so it's all good. If that ammo was priced right, I'd consider it though, the .223 I have by that maker is pretty decent ammo.Quote:
