Hi everyone!

I purchased 7.39x39mm ammo last December. The Ammo was purchased from a company in Vancouver that took a lot of heat in this forum, for selling non-corrosive ammo and being corrosive.
I took five rounds out of the mix and did the steel nail test on the five rounds. And it turned out to be a 100% non-corrosive. So I can't speak for everybody, but I got what I payed for.


Regards, Der Hauptgefreite

I believe the consensus from the other threads was that not all the ammo was corrosive. However there were corrosive rounds scattered threw, so you have no idea what your shooting. So basically you tested 5 rounds that happened to be non-corrosive (pretty small sample size). Who knows, maybe all your 1440 rounds are non-corrosive but there's no way of knowing that with this particular ammo. Which completely defies the point of non-corrosive ammo, if your cleaning your gun anyway you may as well shoot corrosive.

If you want rock solid proofs fire all 1440 rounds without cleaning your gun for a couple days.

Is purged a new slang for purchased? or am I missing something..

Your right, there is a possibility that not all of the 1400 rounds are non-corrosive. And thanks for correcting my miss spell, English is not my first language.
 
I too did a nail test with this stuff. Totally corrosive. Didn't rust the nail as thoroughly or as quickly as my Czech stuff, but it rusted it nonetheless. It was a crap shoot with this ammo and Lever Arms knows it.

I'm not saying the ammo you're describing is not out there, I'm just saying I don't think I've got it. It's to bad that you got same, I feel your pain. Nothing worse then to get f###t on a deal!
