    Milsurp Ammunition Confirmation

    I bought this years ago and need a confirmation of what/where it came from. I believe it is 440 rounds 7.62x54r, heavy ball, steel core, made in 1975, with powder made in 1974. Possibly Romanian? Does anyone know if it is lacquer or copper cased or what the projectile weight is?

    Top Left: 762DPSz GSZ
    Bottom Left: 440 db and a silver over yellow paint

    Top Right: 15-21
    Middle Right: 75-VII
    Bottom Right: VT 7/74 51

    Standard Com Block tin.

    Thank you

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

    The “Z”s would be unusual for Romanian. Polish, maybe? Or Czechicon?

    …or Hungarianicon??

    It is silver over yellow.
    I believe you have 440 rounds of Hungarianicon steel-cored heavy ball.
