I purchased a crate of 7.62x54 on stripper clips from SGA a while ago and just got to unpacking it....

I've taken a set of pics of the uncrating and unpacking - it was just fun.

I don't know about you, but I always felt like I was stepping back in time when I cracked open a spam can. Kinda like "Oh hello ammunition, the last person that saw you was some pissed of oppressed alcoholic in the middle of nowhere!"

Lol I felt for a minute like there should be some patriotic music and someone saying something about being a hero of the revolution. Pass the blini and the vodka ....
It has a slight archeological quality about it. Maybe next time ill find some cheesy music to play while doing it :)

When I ordered one of those crates, the Soviets had used spent shell casings instead of nails to hold the thing together. Pretty cool.

Wow, nice job opening it. Mine looked like a mangled car wreck after the jaws of life was done with it.

@Maltese Falcon Thanks for the link to the music - I'll put it on for the next crate....or maybe when I go to the range on Saturday for my CMP clinic.

@ThemBastards, Thank you, my GF had to stand on the tin while I was removing the pull tab with a vice grips - I thought I was going to be drilling holes with a dremel to get the metal snips in....

@Gutz - Lol...

You know it has to be cancerous, it's just too good!

I feel like my chances of getting lead poisoning go up drastically around those old tins :D

You didn't open it correctly. I didn't see one drop of blood in the pics.
