I can't read Cyrillic, but the tins look like some I bought before. The dealer said they were Albanian. I'm trying to find my old links for 7.62 cartridge info. Most of the dealers now are sposed to label the country of origin when it's been imported.

Thanks for your efforts, Paul!
I also posted these pics on gunboards and the have yet to nail down exactly where this ammo is from, too! I should add that they seem to think that the age of the ammo is nothing to worry about.

By the way, I should add that I think this crate is way cool. I'm definitely going to add some hinges and a latch to it...

You're welcome, I used to use this info more and could recall it without looking it up. Age normally doesn't have alot to do with how it'll work, it's steel cased. I've had some brass cased 7.62 that had a few split necks. The soft brass doesn't hold up as well to the tension of holding the bullet. I haven't had that happen in any other brass cased ammo from other countries, just from behind the Iron Curtain.

They do look neat, I have one that used to contain RC K98s. I use it as my ammo storage. With my ammo can on top, I'm not sure if it's for a maxim or RPK.

The head stamps will tell you the arsenal/factory-look at 7.62 net for details-but seriously. you're intending to fight the collapse of US civilisation (I use the term loosely) with a Mosin and 65 year old ammo-Yanks:heavily armed and highly nervous!
