Norinco ammo corrosion test results

[michaelsabre]

Saudi? Interesting...Saudi always use NATO ammo then why do they ordered M43?

Anyhow, please post a picture of the nice crate!

So does anyone sell these bulk 7.62x39 in reloadable brass. ~$19 for box of 20 S&B or Priv is too steep.

Seems the 9mm and 5.56 come in brass vs. the 7.62 in steel.

OK

Wonder what the saudi's are defending their oil with. 5.56???

the 7.62x51 norinco green box is extremely NON CORROSIVE and seems to behave the same way as any commercial north american ammo in my experience.

OK .
So what's the difference between Non Corrosive & extremely NON CORROSIVE ?
LMAO

I just received my full case of 7.62x39. Can never have enough of this stuff. It came in a very nice wooden crate with handles on the sides. The surprise was seeing that it came from Saudi Arabia. Did they use SKS's at one time or have AK's in 7.62x39? I've always wanted some Saudi ammo.

To supply the bad guys, KSA supplies most of the money for the muslim terroists, the same way the amarican irish supplyed funding for the IRA.
So why not ammo and guns?

It extremely doesn't corrode your barrel. Obviously.

What is the primer of this norinco ammo. Boxer?
Is a soft primer ?

 

[CanAm]

both boxer and berdan, all depends on the cartridge

 

[yomomma]

Any idea about the older yellow and silver boxes

 

[touch157]

AFAIK, yellow box is steel core and silver is lead core both with copper plated steel jacket.

Seems like im shooting lots of Norinco these days. Good to see its actually not going to rust up my guns if i miss a cleaning. Thanks for the test CanAm

Awesome, I wasn't too convinced about the Norinco 7.62x39 being non-corrosive. Glad I bought a crate.

How does the Norinco ammo compare to bulk ammo from Federal / American Eagle / Winchester / CCI in terms of carbon fouling or dirty burning powder?

I just read another post saying firing NC rounds after corrosive ammo then you don't have to clean your SKS.

What do you think?

This is posted occasionally. I am unaware if anyone has actually tested it, but I fail to see how it's possible. Maybe I'm dumb, and I was never great at science, but I do not see how non-corrosive ammo would magically erase the salts that are deposited in your rifle from corrosive ammo. If you want to try it out and potentially sacrifice your rifle, I'm sure there are a fair amount of people here, myself included, who would like a report of your test.

However, no one expects you do to this to your gun. In my opinion, I wouldn't trust this theory at all.

I find it to be the same.
