I've done a couple of searches and come up empty. Anyone here heard of this stuff : Intrac Arms , 7.62X39 match in sealed tin. Wild guess value?

Intrac is a now defunct firearms importer that closed up shop in 2004. I'll bet that the "match" moniker given to their 7.62X39 was no more than a marketing gimmick. It's surplus ammo, probably of Czech origin, worth no more than today's going price for surplus 7.62X39.

The "match" marked tins of 7.62x39mm are of Romanian origin, and it is not match grade ammunition. Just a marketing gimmick. This stuff dated from the late 1990's as I recall. It is not surplus, it was imported as new production for the commercial market. As opposed to the earlier Romanian commercial ammunition that had red sealants, this newer stuff has green sealants. Value is no more than current market value for lead core, non-corrosive, minus some for the age if that is an issue for you.
