DZelenka Posted August 26, 2016 Report Share Posted August 26, 2016 Has anyone used this ammo? It is 2013 production Romanian non corrosive 170 gr FMJ with a green lacquer seal. I've been looking on the internet and have seen some concerning posts. I would be using it in MG34 and MG42. I would love some feedback before I purchase.

fifthmdec Posted September 27, 2016 Report Share Posted September 27, 2016 We have used the Romanion 147 gr surplus stuff that is hard to find these days in the MG 42. No problem as our 42 loves the steel cases. As far as the MG34, we use surplus brass ammo in 8mm with no issues. Our experience with both weapons is that the 42 likes steel and not the brass is it tends to get tore up and occasionally hung up during the ejection prosess... Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luckI've been shooting the Romanian 147gr surplus I my 42. It shoots great. The stuff I was asking about is actually new production, not surplus.

DZelenka Posted October 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2016 I passed on the deal but you might as well let me know if I made the right call. Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tricky9914 Posted December 7, 2016 Report Share Posted December 7, 2016 I don't know if its all the same, but that green box Romanian ammo is out of spec. I purchased alot of it... It would not chamber in my friend's 1910 Danzig Mauser, nor the pre-sample MG34 I use to have. I just recently purchased a transferable MG34 and am looking for good ammo to run in it. All I had for my older pre-sample was PPU... The stuff seems to be sold out everywhere, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PTRS-14.5 Posted December 11, 2016 Report Share Posted December 11, 2016 The newer prouction date stuff runs well in my one of my MG81's and MG42. Ran 4 boxes with no issue...Saw many pallets sold at SAR! PTRS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
