7.62mm question... ID/Value?

[bruce]

The first batch of ammunition is marked:
FNM 80-11
There is a NATO circle and cross.
This ammo is in 20 round cardboard boxes marked...
7,62 x 51 mm BALL. There is a large black dot between “mm” and “BALL.”

The second batch of ammunition is marked:
RG 93
There is a NATO circle and cross.
The ammo is in two green bandoleers with five pockets and are made of heavy vinyl w/ snap closures and a cloth strap.
The ammo is on 5 round stripper clips loaded three clips to the pocket.

Need to ask... Who/where was this ammo produced? What is an approximate value? Thanks Sincerely. bruce

Can't help you with value, but FNM is Portuguese (80-11 date of manufacture?) RG is Radway Green (British) 93 is date of manufacture. Radway Green is berdan primed, I think the FNM may be boxer primed? Both types are very good military surplus NATO spec ammo.

Thank you for the information. It had been suggested to me that it might be corrosive.

I assume 7.62x51 308--the fn is BERDAN primed-not sure on the radway-any nato ammo should not be corrosive
