tbryanh 11 Posted June 30, 2014 Report Share Posted June 30, 2014 (edited) sgammo has 700 round spam cans of Brown Bear 7.62x39 Barnaul 123 grain FMJ. Its described as being mil spec. Is this a sales gimmic or is it really mil spec? * Does the Russian military use it? * Are the gunpowder loads kept to a tight tolerance for each round? * Are the cases laquer coated? * Are the primers and cases sealed? * Do the spam cans use VCI paper to protect the cases from rusting? * Etc.?

Shandlanos 1,470 Posted June 30, 2014 Report Share Posted June 30, 2014 Pretty sure the Russian army doesn't use 9x19.Since it's 123-grain FMJ, I would assume when they say "mil-spec" they actually mean NATO spec - but that's 124 grains, so they done fucked up.

Mullet Man 2,114 Posted June 30, 2014 Report Share Posted June 30, 2014 I don't recall any "bears" being lacquer coated. I could be mistaken. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
imarangemaster 315 Posted June 30, 2014 Report Share Posted June 30, 2014 Brown Bear was lacquer coated 5 or 6 years ago. I have seen Brown Bear with red sealant before. It is made by Barnaul, who does make Russian Military ammo. I haven't bought any in about 4-5 years, so I don't know about current production. Whether it is mil-spec or not now - ? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
thebuns1 4,323 Posted June 30, 2014 Report Share Posted June 30, 2014 I have a case of BB that is lacquer coated. It has better resistance to corrosion over polymer coated cases. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
