Found a box of SB 7.62x51

[GearShanty]

I was organizing and found a sealed 20rd box of SB mixed in with some misc ammo. This is the Nato ammo, not the Cetme ammo. Does this hold any special value or collectable interest, or should I just put it back in the mix?

Thanks,
Bill

They sell that (or at least they used to) at a gun shop here in Austin for just about the same price as SA... It better not have any special value, or Ill have to take video of me kicking myself in the ass.

I think its just normal NATO ammo, nothing collectable... the stuff marked "Cetme" is collectable though fer sher.

I found a few boxes at a gunshow, if you have a cetme it might be nice to keep the box of ammo. I keep mine as props for pictures.

After I've shot several thousand rounds of it....I hope its not worth anymore then anything else :)

I used to buy that when it was around. Like some others, I kept one box as a a momento of this fine original Spansih ammo. Maybe when my SA is gone I will be tempted to consume it like an old bottle of fine bordeaux.

Does it look like this? If so, it is corrosive but shoots very well for me. I bought a case of it last year(1060rds) for 159.00 from samco global in fla. It shot out of my Rem 700 as good as Fed Gold Medal Match and worked flawlessly in my CETME.

Have you looked here? :) http://www.militaryfirearm.com/Forum/showthread.php?t=820 for another one while you can?

Problem is, I've got dinero tied up in an AK deal, no way I can go 200USD for ammo just now.

The stuff I have is the one with the orange-eged yello sticker in the tapered box. Got it from an old CETMERIFLES.com guy named after a ground support aircraft...A-10 ;) or somesuch...:tinhat:
