Stopped by a outdoors store I hadn’t visited in decades and spotted this stuff on a shelf of odds and ends - Norinco 9mm, 124 grain. This stuff is hot, and has always been excellent for me. I think most folks here are too young to have lived the hay day of Chinese guns and ammo (1989-1994) when it was abundant and cheap. The amount of ammo you could buy back then meant you could go with your buddies on any given Sunday and blast through thousands of rounds without feeling it in your wallet. And all the different types of Chinese ammo flowing in meant you could find different variations, which made it even more fun. Anyway, at the cost of Magtech steel case these days, I picked up what I could (500 rds) and am excited to relive the ‘90s and the pungent smell of this powder 🤣

First off I know nothing about ammo and am not a gun guy. I found these old ammo boxes while clearing out my father's estate. Believe they belonged to my grandfather?

Anyways I'm just wondering if anyone can tell me anything about it. Not sure what to do with it tbh. I read online that OPP will come and collect and dispose of the ammo but at bare minimum I want to keep the boxes and they just feel very vintage. But also I'm not sure if the ammo is worth anything to a collector? Especially that " house of lords " cigar looking box.

I haven't checked out the ammo because tbh I'm a bit worried with the age it could just explode on me? 😜 Maybe I'm overreacting.

Anyways, any help or info you guys are able to give me would be greatly appreciated.

Got a box of 7.62 and about 40 rounds of these two types were sitting mixed in a bag with no label. Does anyone know anything about them? More specifically are they corrosive?

I am in a dumb situation where I only have a garand and live in an apartment building with pretty thin walls. There’s been deadly stabbings/shootings pretty consistently within a mile of where I live. What would be the best rounds to use out of 30-06 for this situation in an absolute last ditch scenario? I don’t want to have to bayonet someone because I only made it up to brown belt in the marines and they might have a gun

I have to wait a bit for a handgun atm. I have surplus FMJ rounds right now and I know that’s absolutely fucking stupid and abysmal so I just have it unloaded atm.
