Opening an Original Spam Can of 1224 Rounds of Surplus Romanian 7.62x25mm Tokarev Ammo

[@darthravyn572]

Brings me so much joy to see americans enjoying our guns and ammo!

[@MikeB128]

I enjoying your surplus clothing and gear as well.

[@timlumbert739]

When I was a kid, the first firearm I ever fired was a mosin nagant, I also enjoy using foreign guns and ammo!

[@mikeoneil5770]

The CZ52 is the finest handgun (for the money) in the world, as far as I’m concerned!

[@simplymadness8849]

That date on the right of the lid is the year the powder was manufactured.

[@mrPauljacob]

Found some at my local pawn shop and jumped on it.. 500 cash out the door. I know it's expensive but still even more online if you can find it . I don't plan on opening it for a while

[@fuzzball7972]

Canned ammo is the best. The hiss upon opening is so damn satisfying.

[@zacharybatten]

the 82 under the 255 is the year the powder was produced, the 83 before the 22 is the year the ammo was produced

[@kaizersoze2606]

Love that round one of my favorites and it loves bursting flames from the old CZ52

[@joelopezjl28]

Gid damn I wish I was old enough when 7 62x25 tok spam cans were 150 or less

[@toddwebb7521]

Steve mre1989 is like hey that's my line

[@BEDSOGJT]

Damn beat me to it.

[@ZtownTrain]

You know Mike has to watch SteveMRE, they are both super into military history stuff. It would be cool if they did a video together.

[@nedrain9044]

This stuff shoots great in my Romanian and Yugoslav Tokarevs. It's hotter than the old Bulgarian, but not as hot as the Yugo stuff. It's been 100% reliable after using about half a can.

[@simplymadness8849]

MmmmmHhmmmmm yaaaasssss another CRISP and SATISFYING unboxing ASMR video! You’re going to want your headphones plugged in for this one kiddies

[@joelopezjl28]

HOPEFULLY they find more surplus out there to get the price down a tad

[@theol3199]

I wish I would’ve picked up a couple of these back in the day but alas, I did not own any tokarevs back then.

[@Medmann48]

I have an unopened spam can of Russian 7.62 x 54R from 1974 that I've had for about 10 years. Only paid $79 bucks for it but not sure whether to keep it or sell it on Gunbroker since they are going for big bucks these days.

[@grantyouful]

Wish i could find some

[@andyd2960]

I keep telling myself that I'll get a tokarev one of these days. Every time I come across one I'm either broke or something else catches my eye.

[@H.Green83]

I have a buttload of this ammo it wasn’t in the can though so I’ve got a shitload of hang fires out of it shooting through an SA-26 part kit build.

[@Masterkeaf]

So jealous. Local shop had one. I should have got it.

[@paulzaborny6741]

Got ahold of some Albanian 7.62x54R ammo from the middle 70's could not chamber it fully in my 1897 or 1937. I could not close the bolt. Maybe too much vodka that days production.

[@sargetheshelterdog8291]

I WANT IT!!!! NOW!! What a tease. I guess I'll go back to making it. Where'd you get it?

[@alexandarvoncarsteinzarovi3723]

Huh, did not expect this to pop, one from my own country no less,

[@scoe5908]

WHFB fans are everywhere. We'll pretend the end times didn't happen

[@SidneyBroadshead]

05:09 Carton *Cartuse Pentru Pistolet* = Cartridges for Pistols *Calibru 7,62 mm.* = Caliber 7.62mm *72 Buc.* = 72 _Bucati_ ("Pieces")

[@Dogpatchexpress]

Where do you find these spam cans? Everywhere I’ve seen online is out of stock, ...or Do you have a secret stash in Mommy’s Basement?

[@petermonck5448]

Great ammo. Fast and fireballs .👍☕😎

[@MikeB128]

Yep. It's definitely a littler hotter than the 50s Polish stuff I've been using for the past decade. Very fun stuff!

[@thefuhrer5873]

Just bought a couple romanian tokarev's, any source on these cans still available?

[@Bloodreign137]

They’re long gone I’ve only seen a few in one auction and that was it

[@doomsayer7937]

Damn!!! Prices have gone up since I bought my last spam can. I remember paying 100 bucks for that many and not $470!!

[@MikeB128]

Nobody cares.....

[@doomsayer7937]

Those that pay for it do Mike.

[@MikeB128]

@@doomsayer7937 HAHAHA if you're insinuating I don't pay for my stuff, you'd be very wrong. Out of the $500 this cost, I used MAYBE $80 from Patreon/Ad revenue to offset the cost. I'm saying nobody cares about how much you paid in the past. It's not the past anymore.

[@STEVEOMEMES]

Hey Mike were did you get that ? i need to get some 762X25 it look's good. the year on that is a bit later that i have seen in the past. Make a video of how it shoot's to THANK's

[@SidneyBroadshead]

[@PapaSeriaMikeRIP]

Mike, what method do you use to clean out the corrosive primer salts?

[@MikeB128]

I literally just make a video on that recently...

[@buddytesla]

I’m still trying to figure out why M57 mags are more expensive than the TT33 and CZ52 mags when it’s the only one out of the 3 Tokarev pistols that’s still being made today.

[@thefuhrer5873]

Awesome video!

[@Grimhaunted]

not gonna lie, I thought when you sped up the video of you opening it first I though, "GOD HE REALLY WANTS THIS AMMO OUT FAST!" then I realized you sped it up lol.

[@TheMosinCrate]

Fascinating

[@nateg6567]

I would love to know where to get a spam can of 7.62x25. anywhere I look they all have been sold.

[@SamOrbit-lq1is]

We're you find it my friend

[@ستايلقديم-م9ك]

طاب نهارك ياصديقي هل هذه الذخيره Roumain وكم سنه الصنع

[@saskatchewansporting6190]

Nice vid Mike

[@gulfcitycreeper3393]

I've only ever had bad luck with Romanian ammo, bunch of duds and hang fires. Hope you have far better luck than I've had.

[@MikeB128]

So far so good.

[@joshuarendon1922]

If you still have some old test helmets, i suggest take a few out and shred them with the new rounds. See if it performs like the other and saves some bucks on helmets to test. Lol

[@MikeB128]

No. I'll just carry on like normal......

[@GaryGang911]

You should open some 8mm next!

[@NemoToadTV]

Some of the most expensive ammo.....

[@arizonapancake349]

I have been looking at getting a zastava M57 (Tokarev variant). I am hesitating because I have not found ammo for it. Does anyone know where to buy 7.62x25mm ammo online?

[@ztullos]

Good video mike

[@donwyoming1936]

Great ammo. I'm down to just 2 boxes. Much better than the Bulgarian. 🤠

[@MikeB128]

Yeah it's great stuff

[@behindenemylines3361]

Suggestion: Opening up spam cans with power tools! :)

[@MikeB128]

Probably not.

[@petercheesely4728]

Is this steel core??

[@SidneyBroadshead]

I think it's FMJ (lead core bullet) with a brass case.

[@donaldscobie8455]

Where did you find it?

[@MikeB128]

At the place I bought it from.

[@MikeB128]

@Nicholas Bumgardner Thanks. All I do is deliver.

[@brose2323]

Meanwhile on Mikes1989 MRE channel he gets the idea to open an original can of Spam

[@Veritas419]
