Opening a Spam Can - Barnaul 7.62x39

[rjmt]

I think I got the last wooden crate of 7.62x39 from SG ammo a couple of weeks ago
opened one of the spam cans today - that archaic Russian can opener really sooks - I think an old American P38 would work better
It was advertised as Wolf Classic, but appears to be Russian Military issue ammo - 20 rnds to a package, 700 rnds to a spam can
will test it in my 1989 Poyltech AKS tomorrow

Thats some good stuff!
Sealed bullet and primer with a lacquer coating.

 

[Stomper]

You did fine.

 

[Certaindeaf]

Machine gun it, wipe your arse with a whole roll of Charmin and then do a little dance like I like.

 

[titsonritz]

Score.

Certaindeaf, I guess I'm missing something in the translation

 

[Unka-Boo]

Im gonna be "that guy" for a minute....
Please tell me you still have the original furniture and bayonet

Oh, you're going to sell it. Pardon me.

yup - my son wants it after I pass and I wanted to save that original chu wood furniture
I selected the Chinese version of an AK since that what we ran into in Vietnam
never plan to sell it for several generations after me

 

[rjmt]

this is not a wall hanger or closet queen
but with my old eyes I can't shoot iron sights on an AK any longer
I like the TWS dogleg rail and have a 3X compact scope to mount this weekend

I have the TulAmmo 7.62x39 8M3 rounds but I have not shot any yet. I do have some Wolf rounds with the non-magnetic bullet for the indoor range.

 

[rjmt]

this is definitely steel core, steel case

Couple other ways to open tins when you can't find the darned opener.

I've used a sharp chisel & hammer.

Supposedly rubbing the top of the tin on rough concrete is pretty handy as well. Seems a bit more work than chisel & hammer to me tho.

or your K-bar and a piece of firewood
I've still got 7.62x54r and 7.62x39 stashed away in spam cans
my grandkids will be digging around in the barn some day and wonder what their grandpa was up to

Just don't squeeze it... the ghost of Mr. Whiple and all that!

That is way you open cans of food with out a can opener.

I want to see you do that with a spam can of 7.62 ammo
hard to find a slab of concrete that large out in the boonies
and what type of fools doesn't carry a knife on them?

"There's concrete everywhere"
maybe for you urban dwellers
our roads aren't even concrete out here in the Lewis River Valley
and our driveways are gravel
I guess I could drive down to Merwin Dam and rub it on the dam spillway

That's just how they package it in cans.

Our roads aren't concrete. They're asphalt.
