It will only work if you turn the ammo can upside down first.

I think it may work there AH, BUT you will be in danger of an accidental discharge. Of the ammo. Guys, please.

However, it will work if you first follow these instructions.

Tie garlic around your neck and dance around the ammo can chanting a gregorian chant wearing nothing but a russian rabbit hat.

After closing the blinds and not answering the ringing door bell, insert a metal cutting blade into your reciprocating saw. Cut the can exactly 4.265mm from the top of the can.

Do not answer the phone. Bathe and dress. Walk outside and look puzzled at the crowd of people in white coats.

Don't try on that nice jacket they are holding.

Small Axe and a hammer should do it.

How much is the can of ammo cost. I have a Mosin, I don't even know if it work or not.

you can get a 250 - 300 round can for like 50 - 65 bucks ruffly I think.

The standard sources carry MilSurp for $40 on up for 250+ rounds. AIM and J&G seem to be the most common sources, and both are very good.

Well the 91/30 is ordered, one can of ammo ordered, just the wait before I get to try the handy dandy methods of opening an ammo can.

If it's the 300 rounds of Bulgarian heavy ball, it should zip open pretty easily using the D-Ring pull tab.

hey man, how much is the ammo cost and where did you ordered it?

wtxj · 05-04-2008, 09:22 PM

I believe it's Bulgarian, 440 rounds, I believe it's from Century Arms.

Used a C&R lic., two cases of ammo( no lic required), two 91/30's.
Price was 342.00 delivered
You guys are having so much fun

Dennis · 05-04-2008, 10:03 PM

there is a soviet/east block ammo can opening tool. looks like a p38 on steriods.
a cold chisel and a hammer will work.

I think that is the steel case, light ball, and in a different can. So back to that can opener, and power saw.

Looking forward to the struggle. We will find out soon. Working on a maybe oilwell 7/24 right now, but will be able to see that can soon after arrival.

I'm paying $2.00 a round for my 308's right now, so I'm looking forward very much shooting this rifle, if I can get it cleaned up right. Price is right.
