Chinese surplus 7.62x39mm copper-washed ammo

Description

100 rounds of Chinese surplus 7.62x39mm copper-washed ammunition (most commonly imported into the U.S. under brands like Norinco, China Sports, and China Jing-An prior to the 1994 import ban) is Type 56 military ball ammunition built with a copper-washed mild steel case and a bimetal-jacketed projectile. Rather than solid brass, the distinct reddish-copper finish is a thin electroplated wash applied over steel to prevent rust and smooth out extraction.

Key Specifications

• Bullet Design. Typically features a 122-grain or 123-grain Full Metal Jacket (FMJ) boattail bullet with a copper-washed steel jacket. Pre-1994 military production (Type 56 ball) uses a mild steel core for enhanced barrier penetration, while later commercial exports use a standard lead core.
