I was recently at a shooting range and the guy next to me found a few stripper clips of 7.62x39 in his bag that he didn't know he had. He had no use for them and noticed that I was shooting an AK-47 and offered them to me. When i got home I checked them out and saw they had no caliber markings but obviously were 7.62x39mm. The shells are a wierd color and on the bottom says 351 93, dos anyone know what brand this is or anything about them.

Most 7.62 X 39 rds have a long life if they are sealed. I wouldn't try to use them though. Who knows what they've been through. They could be Russian or Korean made because of the weird color. All American made 7.62 rounds are typical brass or grey. They 351 93 means it most likely is Russian.

7.62 mm is the common NATO round used in all sorts of weapons. This works out close to .30 caliber. As far as brand goes, if it isn't marked, it's probably a reload. Just Google those figures for more info.

I would take a caliper to them making sure they are loaded correctly (headspace, length, etc.) and then using the proper tools, take one apart... They make slug removers; they are in the reloading section of a gun shop.. Measure the power, try to identify approximately what it is (slow, fast, nitro), and see what kind of primer (Beredan or Boxer -- one hole vs. two inside) -- that will give you insight if its a consumer round or an old military round.
Sounds like it maybe an old surplus Russian or other country's round, and may have a corrosive primer -- in which case you'll want to wash out the barrel after firing with ammonia before regular cleaning.

Ok tards, the NFA doesn't allow fully automatic firearms and that doesn't matter anyways because the ones sold on the civilian market are semi-auto, so you don't know what you are talking about! Also, God help the poor bastards that try to invade the USA **==
