Video Transcript:
When you think of Russia, you might think of colorful buildings, bears, or submarines. You might also think about ammo, and you'd be right to do so. At the Tula factory south of Moscow, massive quantities of ammunition are manufactured. Even firearms have been made at Tula, especially during World War II, when the factory was critical to Soviet efforts to hold off the German Army.
Nowadays, the Tula factory is privately owned and exports ammunition to the United States under the Tula Ammo brand. One of the products they have the most expertise in manufacturing is 7.62 x 39. I fired nearly 1,000 rounds of this ammo through various rifles and found that it performed pretty well.
I did have a few problems with a Czech-made vz. 58 and a Yugoslavian AK, but the Tula ammo functioned perfectly through a Chinese SKS, a Russian AKM, a Century Arms VZ-58 , and a Hungarian AMD-65 that is a legally registered machine gun with a suppressor. In these firearms, Tula functioned without any problems. Did I mention that it worked great in a machine gun?
The bi-metal jacketed bullet used in this ammo isn't meant for great accuracy, but it's more than enough for average range day shooting or plinking. If you're looking to feed one of your Eastern Bloc rifles, buying ammunition made from the same region is a good idea. Tula is an affordable and reliable example of what Russia has to offer.

Good ammo overall, no problems with the quality . Just cannot figure out why my Norinco SKS shoots high to the right even after major adjustments to the front sight with a quality site tool ? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Very impressed with Lucky Gunner they have set the bar high against the competition. Good ammo overall no problems with the quality .

Can't complain! No misfire's, feed issues, jams, etc. For me, these shot straight and true. Cleaning my WASR after 250 rounds wasn't a big deal at all. This was my first purchase from Lucky Gunner and once the prices drop back down, I'll be interested in doing business with them again.

No FTF's thus far through 1500 rounds. Most of the action was over high-intensity fast fire operations where each round mattered. This ammo didn't let me down. (Posted on 3/16/12)Performance Value Quality - Awesome Ammo Review by mayle

I did a lot of looking around and this is by far the most user friendly website out there for your ammo needs. Inventory is "real time" so there's no guesswork as to when it will ship. Shipping is fast and the more you buy, the better the overall value! It's a better deal than those "box stores" like Academy, Wal-Mart or Bass Pro AND they have it in stock! I am very happy to have found Lucky Gunner and will continue to tell everyone about it. These guys obviously take pride in what they do and THIS is what customer service should be like. Others could learn something from their model. Thanks again."
