Some of the WWII 7.62 x 54R surplus ammo does have a lacquer coating.

That's WWII ammo for a Moisin. Never been interested in it. Just be aware it can happen with that ammo. Statistically its rare, very rare. Most Russian ammo is for AK’s or AR’s with some of the newer stuff not having anything that even looks like laquer.

The major offender is steel case vs brass and AR are made to tighter specs than an AK.
