picked some up today for my CZ bolt gun, but after opening its stamped 1980 NK with a sealed domed primer.. I have a feeling its corrosive.
 
If any doubt clean your rifle . call them and ask if they are 110% sure . and if you don't believe them clean the rifle with boiling water and the gas system . I still would clean it as if it was corrosive. leave no stone unturned .
 
Just looked it up . Berdan primed brass cased 124 grain ammo . not 123 grain so the ad says . $809 a 1000 rounds. that's expensive . I'd still clean big time . do you trust you barrel to these people . your choice.

I agree with this - set up and make hot water flush of the gun parts as part of your daily ritual when you fire that ammo - if it is NOT corrosive, it will do NO harm. If it IS corrosive, or if SOME of it is, or if it is a BIT corrosive, you will have your bases covered. From what I read, it is plain old HOT WATER going to wash away those salts - nothing fancy - no special chemicals - get rid of the salts, then deal with the carbon and jacket fouling, (which likely need specific chemicals to deal with those contaminants) which will be occurring regardless of the primer type - then a slosh of preservative oil. Versus Plan B, whatever that is.

From the OP, sounds like a CZ bolt action - so likely does not even need dismantling - a funnel with a longish nose - set vertically in a soft jaw vice or similar - muzzle pointed down, and pour a litre or so of really hot - preferably boiling - water through that chamber and down that barrel - maybe soak the bolt face or bolt in hot water as well - then soak down with preservative of choice. I got a cheap plastic funnel - screwed on a length of perhaps 10 mm or 12 mm diameter hollow rod from a light fixture - set my rifles in vice - while tea kettle warming up a litre - when tea kettle boils, I usually am set up - just pour that hot water down the funnel - catch the "waste" in a scrap tin bucket set on the floor. I have done so dozens of times - gets MUCH easier to set up about the 25th time, than it was the first time.

Ill call bullseye up tomorrow to verify...again. I would pissed off shooting this and finding out its corrosive. The CZ is too pretty for the corrosive stuff!
 
My research came up with that it was corrosive.

Non-Corrosive Yugo ammo does exists made/exported by Ingman but it stamped IK,
NK stamped was for Yugoslav military and is corrosive.

Might be worth pulling a few to do a nail test. Never know who told who what in the supply chain, bullseye could be taking things on faith.

I just saw new Privi for $18.99/ box of 20. No way I pay the vendor's price for surplus.

No doubt! Even if it WAS non corrosive, you can get 1120rds of Norinco red box for $560+tax buying it at Cabelas on sale, and it's on sale like every other week.
 
I would be pissed paying that much and falsely advertised. I say you have 2 options. Get a hold Bullseye and either return it or they give you a nice credit. If that does not work go to your credit card and the fact that they are selling a product falsely and have them reverse the charges. I have done this before but it was not ammo. No questions asked other than proof of purchase and reason for the refund and money was returned to my card.

still waiting to hear back, ill go into the store Thursday and find out whats up. Im sure there are other shooters out there using this stuff and putting their guns away without cleaning..they will be in for a little surprise to say the least.

I emailed them in early September about the same subject. Here is a response I got at the time:

"Good afternoon,

This ammunition is as labeled non corrosive on our website and was purchased as non corrosive. Some of the later year production yugo m67 ammunition was made with non corrosive primers.

Seeing that there is a lot of conflicting information online I will be completely honest with you I am not sure. Some sources claim that the ammo with a flat, nickel-plated primer is non-corrosive, while the ammo with a domed primer is corrosive. However, this is not confirmed by all sources, so it is safer to assume that all Yugoslavian M67 ammo is corrosive and clean accordingly."

I didn't buy the ammo.
