40 Pieces, 7.62mm Rounds, with a regular projectile M67, and brass case in stripper clips. IK= Igman Konjic, Bosnia & Herzegovina, April 1979 production. It was made while there was still such a thing as Yugoslavia, and no, it was not a part of USSR. Two primary small arms ammunition providers for the Yugoslav Federal Army were this IK ammo company and PPU ammo marked company (Prvi Partizan Uzice), which is in Uzice, Serbia.
..we (my late wife & I) bought two cases of this (Jugo) stuff way back in 2008 from the late Samco in Miami...called them the day after the election in 2008 - asked if they still had it in stock and if the price was still the same...we drove from West Palm to Miami to pick it up...still have oy - one crate is packed ob strippers and the other is in 15 round boxes
Pops Quest for a Simple Life 0:45 - "ИК" (IK) on the box means it was produced by Igman Konjic company (Bosnia and Herzegovina). The factory is still operational. It got "famous" recently when they found ammo cases with "IK" inscription after the Charlie Hebdo Paris attack. You can contact the company to request info on when this was produced based on serial number (I don't think this was meant for export, and it might be remnants of ammunition of Yugoslav People's Army from before '90s war). 1:42 - the text is in Serbian (it says "bullets with ordinary cores and brass cases, in frames"). I hope this helps. 5:30 - the large font on the label says: "Can be used for", but I cannot clearly see the words written in smaller font.
It is cool how the ammo is packaged in the crates still looks brand new. That rifle project turned out nice for sure. Keep the crates for ever. Useful and cool to talk about when friends are over at the house. Really cool stuff.
Thank you my friend, I wish I had not opened the first one now after doing some research. The 300 rifle is my absolute favorite to shoot right now. Take Care~
Awesome stuff. I'll have to move to America to ever touch, see and shoot something like this, so here I come! Also, that AR (sorry if I'm wrong, don't really know much about guns because of... Norway) looks beautiful.
as an Canadian shooter i truly hope you were able to treat yourself to a shooting experience. I dont have access to what Americans do but in 2020 we still had plenty of exciting options
I can translete u that on 4:25 that's: 40 pieces, 7.62 ammo with ordinary bullet (FMJ) and brass shell in "magazines", that NK means I.K. on cyrilic wich means IGMAN KONJIC, Igman is company from town of Konjic, that's now in Bosnia and Herzegowina ex. Yugoslavia, located about 30 miles from capital city Sarajevo, that company works till today, and all their products are for export, they produce all kinds of ammunition for pistols and rifles to 12.7 mm.
Yea! 7.62x39 has authority at short and intermediate ranges. sweet looking rig man. I'm starting to convince my self I need another upper and been leaning toward the same end result.
Pops, like many of the viewers already mentioned it; it's a case of 7.62×39mm ball manufactured by ex YUGO gov't ammo plant called "Igman" in Konjic now Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The factory was named after Igman mountain overlooking the capital of Sarajevo. The case itself is dated back to 1979 and the print on the lid shows it. The stripper clips clearly state the purpose of the ammo meaning to be used with "M59/66 PAP" semi-auto rifle known otherwise as "YUGO SKS". Now onto the white paper label. It reads: Useful for (or to be used with) M59/66 PAP semi-auto rifle and it's variants, M70 automatic rifle and it's variants and M72 machine gun and it's variants. And that's all there is to it. Cheers,
Made in 1976-79 or so, It's Yugoslavain 7.62x39 Brass cass ammo Boxer primers it is Really Great Ammo I do believe it is Corrosive so make sure you rinse your weapon down with warm water and then oil it up the way you always do. I find that Rem oil with Teflon or Break Free works the best for me. Thank you for sharing 2016.
Yeah, buddy!! I have (2) cases because I shoot a lot. I love the M67 ammo.. I'm so happy I purchased it about 4-5yrs ago. I paid around $250 per W/clips. I still have a crate and a half and am probably gonna hang on to it because it's really hard to get them. Keep up!
I love wooden boxes the military had the best. And your so right, it's very hard to find surplus ammo anymore. Since moving I have yet to find a good swamp meet or flea market that have anything good.
With your cabinet shop skills, you should take that last one apart from the bottom, then reassemble with a trap door. Keep the little top rip cord in place for discussion in the man cave! I love old military stuff, but I guess the jeep gives that away!!
Great looking ammo.... buy the way that brass cased stuff is reloadable! you can get burdan primers here now.... just a diff way to decap it then the stuff your used to. So don't leave it at the range for someone else to profit with. That rifle is sweet! Love that fluted barrel. Take care
We have been talking about that and not wanting another "Thing" to deal with have been leaving it behind, but on your advise, we will pick it up from now on! Thanks for making more work on me! LOL
Pops Quest for a Simple Life One day you'll thank me. If for no other reason... plan B. The brass is also very marketable(even if it is for scrap value).
White label tells you on which systems you can use munition .On the box was something like brass casing and standard bullet. It's serbian letters probably made in yugoslavia. ИК probably IK industrial code? Usually year is stampt on the bottom of the casing.
Pops Quest for a Simple Life don't know if you could help me or not but do you know what the LXW measurement of the box is? as Im makeing new lid for a project of mine for a friend of mine
There are a couple of videos that help with reading spam cans and crates in cyrillic: How to read Russian Ammo Cans (Spam Can Translation) Mosin Nagant ammo spam can markings for dummies! BTW, Ballistol is excellent with corrosive smokeless and black powder! Its the only thing Hickok 45 uses too.
Very cool. I love old stuff like that. Looks like it might be Yugoslavian produced at the Lgman plant. I took a look at the ammunitionstore.com/content/7.62%C3%9739mm.pdf where it talks about the projectile and how the center of gravity is toward the back so it will destabilize and tumble when it hits something. the-armory.com also has some stuff on it.
it says: 40 pieces (of) 7.26 round with ordenary head (with designated name) M67 and brass case in clips what i wrote in brackets is not writen actualy on the box i just wrote it for easyer uderstanding couse of the difference in gramatics. they've used a word "ordenary" i guess so user would know that is not a tracer or armour piercing round, it makes sense in serbian or croatian language but it souds kindda weird in english.... but, well.
It is not rare though. You can still find these online. I just ordered a crate of 1160 rounds online today. It is very corrosive ammo so you must clean your weapon the same day you shoot it. And clean it good. But it is accurate and has no metal for those of us who use shooting ranges with metal ammo restrictions.
yes, sidney...that's correct. like i said, have a few cases of the stuff. not rich by any means, just do a lot of shopping before i buy. i continue to find the stuff in 2017, having ordered 400 rounds of the stuff from a dealer in illinois. just clean your gun thouroughly after shooting it, that's all.
At the day of writing this comment i found a crate of these bullets in my grandpas house They are from '53-'55 and there are 6 boxes of 15 rounds inside of them,one of the boxes is opened and inside there are two strriper clips On one clip there are 4 bullets and on the other there are 5 There are also some yugosloven Šajkačas militairy hats,some personal supplies ets.
+Pops Quest It was not a budget matter. All ammo in Yugoslavia was packed in cheep soft wood boxes with sealed metal ones inside. The soft wood is very good at absorbing the mechanical stress that would scrape, dent or puncture the metal containers during rough handling while being light and inexpensive. Holes for wire on locks are there so crate can be sealed with lead to show if it was previously opened, yours was :) Here is what the markings mean: IK - 7906-12 (i'm using Latin alphabet though markings are in Cyrillic) IK- Makers mark (Igman Konjic); 79 - the year 1979; 06 - the month; 12 - day On the side: NC-08 MBL 77118 markings for the type and maker of the powder, NC stands for nitrocellulose. On the paper boxes: 40 PIECES 7,62mm BULLET with regular round M67 and brass casing in clips Nice gun btw...
What is your exact procedure for cleaning afterward? I just picked up a 480 round ammo can of this stuff. I'm a bit paranoid about using it since I don't want to damage my AK, and I live in a state that is making it illegal to purchase them starting in 2017
It will be fine, no problem. I use lots of corrosive ammo on many of my expensive ARs, after the windex to neutralize the salt that the primer makes(keep in mind that it is ONLY the primer that makes this stuff corrosive, not the powder) I will then boil water on the stove and dump it down the barrel and other parts. If it is VERY hot, it almost dries immediately, I oil everything down after it dries. Some "Experts" will not agree with this method, but after years of doing that, I have had no problems.
I've got corrosive Turkish 8mm from the 1930's and it's well preserved. The corrosive primers have a much longer shelf life than the noncorrosive primers-John in Texas
I need to get this vid done, it really ran great with the exception of bench resting on the mag itself! We ran all factory ammo also, I think it's the best place to start to reduce the variables that might exist with a custom rifle, Cheers Buck!
Pay cash for your ammo and do not show the world what you have.I'll never understand why anyone would ever put themselves on the web bragging about something so many want to take.

The date on both boxes is 1979 . So it's not from 2010. ;-) And it's from former Yugoslavia.
Marjan Novoselc he meant as in when he purchased them. He purchased them in 2010
The rings are for tie downs for trucks so the ammo didn't slide all over the place

I'd love if he called the company and made another video about it. Guns and ammo history is really interesting.
+dave l
sgammo.com sells it as M67 Non-magnetic Copper FMJ Brass Case Corrosive Yugo Surplus Ammo on SKS Stripper Clips
I've seen the sticker elsewhere.
The sticker (5:30) reads as:
УПОТРЕБЉИВО ЗА (UPOTREBLJIVO ZA)
7,62mm ПОЛУАУТОМАТСКУ ПУШКУ (POLUAUTOMATSKU PUŠKU) M59, M59/66, M59/66A
7,62mm АУТОМАТСКУ ПУШКУ (AUTOMATSKU PUŠKU) M70, M70A, M70B, M70AB
7,62mm ПУШКОМИТРАЉЕЗ (PUŠKOMITRALJEZ) M72, M72B
This translates as:
"Usable For:
7.62mm-bore Semi-Automatic Rifles (Carbines) M59, M59/66, & M59/66A
7.62mm-bore Automatic Rifles (Assault Rifles) M70, M70A, M70B, & M70AB
7.62mm-bore Rifle-Machineguns (Squad Automatic Weapons) M72 & M72B"
Wait wasn't Bosnia once part of the former USSR? If so this ammo is left over from an attempted communist revolution potentially?
Bob Martin No it does not
It is cool how the ammo is packaged in the crates still looks brand new. That rifle project turned out nice for sure. Keep the crates for ever. Useful and cool to talk about when friends are over at the house. Really cool stuff.
Thank you my friend, I wish I had not opened the first one now after doing some research. The 300 rifle is my absolute favorite to shoot right now. Take Care~
These are extremely reliable we had some from 1980 and one two or three misfires in the whole crate
Awesome stuff. I'll have to move to America to ever touch, see and shoot something like this, so here I come!
Also, that AR (sorry if I'm wrong, don't really know much about guns because of... Norway) looks beautiful.
as an Canadian shooter i truly hope you were able to treat yourself to a shooting experience. I dont have access to what Americans do but in 2020 we still had plenty of exciting options

This ammo is berdan primed
@@tenmil1Yes, corrosive berdan primed

I love wooden boxes the military had the best. And your so right, it's very hard to find surplus ammo anymore. Since moving I have yet to find a good swamp meet or flea market that have anything good.
It has all been bought up is what I am thinking, the good ol days are gone I think. At least with the internet, it is a bit easier to locate!
Great build Pop's, fun caliber
Falling for the windex meme. Just clean with hoppes or something. As long as your thorough it doesn't matter.
sweet sweet and more sweet, I love my 3, 300's they are smooooooth
Well.....If you could pull your ass away from that little cooking channel of yours, do a vid on one of those babies!
Great score on the Ammo ! Nice lookin' rifle !!!
I just ordered a case of that ammo, there are about 3 different places selling it right now.
In the WAY back machine. These days!
that immaculate rifle.... great vid sir.
its yugo 1979 surplus. you can actually reload that brass if you can get berdan primers which tula sells
Hoppe's Number 9 powder solvent is all you need for corrosive ammo. Use it PLENTIFULLY, and on ALL parts, however.
I remember back in 1996 when you could buy an SKS for $69.95 all day long when I was at Bragg. New pop gun turned out nice bro.
Thank you my brother! Those were the days...How I wish me had me crystal ball back then!
Finding original stripper clips XD those are hard to come by now days great video!
Damn. Stuff like this going for about $600/case.. yea it’s 2022 damn
3:30 if u put 1 crate against the other the triangle goes into sqare and u can carry 2 of them on 1 hook.....
Something from 79. That is awesome. I just got some from 84.
Thats awesome! I love old stuff. Nice rifle God Bless brother
Thank You Mr. 250, Cheers Pecan Man! God Bless!
That is Yugoslavian 7.62x39 rounds
I love my 300 acc blackout rifles. Love my sks rifles too. Really wish I got some of those crates when I had the chance.
Amen brother, wish I had a dozen of them! As for the 300, you know what I am talking about, Cheers!
nice share! your rifle looks great , good choices .
Thank you!
With your cabinet shop skills, you should take that last one apart from the bottom, then reassemble with a trap door. Keep the little top rip cord in place for discussion in the man cave! I love old military stuff, but I guess the jeep gives that away!!
Great idea! but even easier, the whole metal tin just dumps out, I will do that for sure, Cheers Brother!
Ex Yugoslavian munition, it wrote Metak it means bullet. I am from ex Yugoslavia :D
your 300 rifle turned out sweeeeeet !
Thanks brother, it was so much fun to build and shoot. Vid coming soon I hope
year of production on base of rounds same as us ammo
Great looking ammo.... buy the way that brass cased stuff is reloadable! you can get burdan primers here now.... just a diff way to decap it then the stuff your used to. So don't leave it at the range for someone else to profit with.

Yes, after I put up the vid, I searched, yes Yugo and the bullet info is very interesting, maybe I should save it!
SyberPrepper You are right. This was made by Igman Konjic company. I've posted a separate comment on this.
it says:
40 pieces (of)
7.26 round with ordenary head (with designated name) M67 and brass case in clips
what i wrote in brackets is not writen actualy on the box i just wrote it for easyer uderstanding couse of the difference in gramatics.
they've used a word "ordenary" i guess so user would know that is not a tracer or armour piercing round, it makes sense in serbian or croatian language but it souds kindda weird in english.... but, well.
Its from serbia (yugoslavia) i cqn read all on that box
Георгий Дюрич Kosovo je serjira
lol i thought this was a crate of M67 grenades before watching it.

This is Yugoslavian ammo
Yugoslavina surplus ammo
the year would be on the base of the cartridge...usually 1976, 77, 78 and 1979. got 5 cases of the stuff.
The cartridge batch is from 1979, so the cartridges will have a '79 headstamp.
yes, sidney...that's correct. like i said, have a few cases of the stuff. not rich by any means, just do a lot of shopping before i buy. i continue to find the stuff in 2017, having ordered 400 rounds of the stuff from a dealer in illinois. just clean your gun thouroughly after shooting it, that's all.
says 40 pieces per pack 7.62 for m67
At the day of writing this comment i found a crate of these bullets in my grandpas house
They are from '53-'55 and there are 6 boxes of 15 rounds inside of them,one of the boxes is opened and inside there are two strriper clips
On one clip there are 4 bullets and on the other there are 5
There are also some yugosloven
Šajkačas militairy hats,some personal supplies ets.
You found his secret past life
I think they built those crates on a tight budget, but they sure last a long time. That rifle looks real nice. Take care brother.
They must put a LOT of heart in them! LOL
+Pops Quest It was not a budget matter. All ammo in Yugoslavia was packed in cheep soft wood boxes with sealed metal ones inside.

Here is what the markings mean: IK - 7906-12 (i'm using Latin alphabet though markings are in Cyrillic)
IK- Makers mark (Igman Konjic); 79 - the year 1979; 06 - the month; 12 - day
On the side: NC-08 MBL 77118
markings for the type and maker of the powder, NC stands for nitrocellulose.
On the paper boxes:
40 PIECES
7,62mm BULLET with regular round M67 and brass casing in clips
Nice gun btw...
Great information!!! Thank you!!
What is your exact procedure for cleaning afterward? I just picked up a 480 round ammo can of this stuff. I'm a bit paranoid about using it since I don't want to damage my AK, and I live in a state that is making it illegal to purchase them starting in 2017
It will be fine, no problem. I use lots of corrosive ammo on many of my expensive ARs, after the windex to neutralize the salt that the primer makes(keep in mind that it is ONLY the primer that makes this stuff corrosive, not the powder) I will then boil water on the stove and dump it down the barrel and other parts. If it is VERY hot, it almost dries immediately, I oil everything down after it dries. Some "Experts" will not agree with this method, but after years of doing that, I have had no problems.
Agreed. One of the best cleaners is soap or windex, followed by scalding hot water. Used this on cap and ball revolvers for years. Makes life easy.
Rocketman9mm its just about the only way to clean muzzle loaders using pyrodex powders. its a traditional black powder that is highly corrosive.
ray...can you clean it thouroughly without the hot water? i do use spray windex as well as break free on all parts.
I have used just windex and that seem to do a good job
3:30. for strapping to apc's and tanks
Its 7,62 kalashnikov....
Old Yugoslavian army ammo
Scolding hot water down the barrel? Never heard of that.
when they are that old what is their actual shelf life?
i'm just curious.
I've got corrosive Turkish 8mm from the 1930's and it's well preserved. The corrosive primers have a much longer shelf life than the noncorrosive primers-John in Texas
Cool and cool!
Had them sitting in a corner for years and always wanted to do a video on them, Take Care~
+Pops Quest is that the 123g yugo stuff? I heard it's very very accurate. Thank you for showing us your collection I'm drooling for that SKS food lol
please post when you open that,,curious👍😊
If I were you I will never sell any thing esp the box
cool dude 😎
god i love Yugoslavia... before Milošević
I need to get my .300 out and shoot it. It needs a little work. Having some trouble with it. Even with factory ammo.
I need to get this vid done, it really ran great with the exception of bench resting on the mag itself! We ran all factory ammo also, I think it's the best place to start to reduce the variables that might exist with a custom rifle, Cheers Buck!
I do have the solution for you on your cycling problems UB. :)
Nice!!!
Giggidy~
dude.....
sup
At the time it was hard to find, but you're right, I just ordered another case from aim surplus yesterday for $ 294.00, get some!
How the hell did you get that
Pay cash for your ammo and do not show the world what you have.I'll never understand why anyone would ever put themselves on the web bragging about something so many want to take.
is it non magnetic?
Non Magnetic CA legal.
When .22LR is 4cpr now... LOL
And now it's 12cpr now...LOL at your smart A comment
