Just wondering what an individual 1992 menu MRE would roughly sell for?
I have almost a full case, that I bought about 4 years ago, from frontierandsurvival.
I have eaten the BBQ pork and rice and everything was holding up brilliantly.
Also the meatballs with rice in tomato sauce again, everything was great, even the charms were edible, and tasted, though very soft
Ive still got half the chicken a la king, (entree unopened)
The rest is there, in original box.
The MREs are marked RIGHT AWAY FOODS CORPORATION - McALLEN, TEXAS 75801 and are the chocolate coloured bags.
If they are not worth too much, I may consume the whole case (whats left) and post them as reviews
But I also just want to keep them Oh the humanity!
Any comments welcomed.

BTW, I was working from Kmans definitive MRE menu list by year, and it seemed to fit with the 92 menu, although it could be 93 but I dont think 94?
I will post the carton content when I have a moment.

im interrested i the case!
pm with a offer with shipping to norway.

cheers norge

Better post the 4 digit markings and we can tell you even the day of production

Ok
Thanks Norge!

There are two lines on the side of the box containing numbers, both with 4 digit sequences:
8970-00-149-1094
DLA13H-90-C0886

The first line is the NSN.

Look for:


Date packed at the case

Newer cases:

looking like this. The number here is 8214 (2008, 214th day (=Aug 2nd))

Every pouch has the same pack code

2363 (= 2002, 363rd day (= Dec. 29th))


5084 (2005, 84th day (= March 25th))

You see?

Thanks Housil

Ah maybe it would help if I turned the box over
LOT NO 28-019
DATE PACKED 1031
INSPECTION TEST DATE 1-94

Yep

Date packed 1031 = 1991 (why not 2001?! Because they are brown and not tan!) 31st day = Jan 31st
Inspection date is allways pack date + 3 years (except FSR, 2 years only)
