7.62x54r ammo value ?

[abpt1]

I have a sealed wooden crate of Czechoslovakian light ball sliver tip and one crate of Hungarian yellow tip heavy ball ? whats this stuff worth ?

Since both are not available any more, you can get $200 to $250 for the Czech and $200 or so for the yellow tip, both prices are trying to be conservative.

Have you thought of listing them on gunbroker?

Aims has silver tip for 146 bucks for a wood crate.. The yellow tip i am not sure
it just depends on what you want to sell it for.. or trade for it..

The link you have is for the Romanian ammo, and they are now out of stock. They do offer Russian for the same price.

The ammo abt1 has has not been available for some time and there are a lot of folks out there that swear by the Czech stuff.

I wouldn't mind getting some of the yellow tip for my PKM, but have other things going on and the light ball is a little gentler on the gun!

Ok you got me there.. looks like i need another cup of joe.. still it gives an idea of the pricing
and from what i have found on check it looks like 190 to 200 for 880 rounds of czech.
what i have found is what you want out of it and what some one is willing to pay..

Right now, there is neither one on gunbroker, so it might be a good time to list them there. My advice is to start them at a penny, with a reserve of what you would like to see. If you are not in need to sell, bump up the price a bit and see what happens!

Wow, I guess 9 years of studying and collecting x54r(85 rounds from 14 countries) doesn't carry much water.

Go figure around here.

Put me in that club too. Sold megga tons of it when I was a dealer and I still look at the round despite having sold all my Mosins and ammo off.

Is there any difference between the Czech silver tip and Czech LPSZ?

Is there any difference between the Czech silver tip and Czech LPSZ?

I believe that the difference is age mostly. The Czechs phased out the silver tip paint after the 1970's. Is the LPSz type made in the 80's, consult the headstamp. Originaly the silver tip was to reference lt. ball 148 gr. bullets vs. the original 180 gr. heavy ball rounds. I've had Czech 50's heavy ball, it was steel core, though not hardened steel. Primers were really poor quality in the 50's Czech ammo, 25% duds. 1960's forward you'll see the silver tip and the lighter bullet. Also, they seem to have figured out how to make primers that lasted in the 1960's. :D

The Fulminate Mercury primers are well known for their long storage life despite their corrosive nature which is rarely a military factor traditionally in the era in which "corrosive primers" were industry standard
