The military classic have laquer on the bullets, alot of people complained about the laquer build up and gumming up their rifles, so wolf made their black box ammo with a new polymer and that seemed to solve majority of the laquer problems, hope this helps.

Laquer on the bullets or laquer on the cases? Or both?

Not all Wolf MC has lacquer on the cases. Some of the MC has absolutely nothing on the cases.... no lacquer and no polymer coating... nothing but bare steel that easily rusts.

Also, I don't remember which factories but Wolf black box is made in a different Russian munitions factory than Wolf MC is.

Tapeo I think you mean Silver Bear... thats the ammo that is "nickel" plated... I don't believe it cause that stuff won't feed, rusts and corrodes if water looks at it.

Nope. I mean Wolf MC.

I have a case I bought a few months back from SPG... no poly, no lacquer. Bare steel.

Others have noticed it too...

It's supposed to be lacquered but I think quality control isn't up to par lately.
