Century Arms Red Army Standard 7.62x39mm 122gr FMJ

The Century Arms Red Army Standard 7.62x39mm 122-grain Full Metal Jacket (Century Arms part no. AM3420) is an affordable, steel-cased AK-platform round built with the sealed primer and case neck construction that makes Russian-pattern military ammunition reliable in the field. The boat-tailed bullet carries a lead core under a steel jacket, and the sealed neck and primer keep moisture out for long-term storage and consistent ignition. Century markets Red Army Standard specifically as a non-corrosive, affordably priced option for shooters who go through a lot of 7.62×39 at the range without wanting to pay premium brass-cased prices. It’s a dependable choice for AK-pattern rifles and SKS carbines alike.
