Chinise 7.62 x 39 non- corosive?

[rbygrave]

Just picked up a case of this ammo, was told non-corosive but i wonder. Also what is a good price for this stuff?

Thanks

It is corrosive. Where did you get it?

Cheers

And to quote someone much more in the loop on ammo than I...

If it says NC, it is

it is likely corrosive if:

made before 1990
wrapped in paper

let me guess. Lever arms ?

Looks to be corrosive.

Also, Chinese. Grammar Nazi mission complete.

H&H Tackle in Brantford is selling this as NON Corrosive.
They are closing for good, and the sooner the better.

That would have been my guess as well, but the OP didn't have his location in his profile... If he had Vancouver stated, I'd have put $$$ on it!

How much did you pay?

 

[Jay]

Oh, and for price, $285 is what Marstar has it for...

As for the quality of it, IT'S GOOD AMMO! Just that with it being corrosive, you have to go home & clean it properly... No leaving it 'for another day' to clean...

It is good stuff. I have about 800 rounds of it left and it shoots very well.

Sorry, live in Prince George. Paid 250.00 for 1440, thought it was a good price.

I was going to treat it as corosive so not really worried. Was just wondering.

That's a decent price......................any more available?

I bought some of the same "non-corrosive" crap from Lever... Fortunately I had read a few threads here that suggested that it is IN FACT corrosive. I did a bright nail test, and it was inconclusive... It seems as though at least SOME of the primers are corrosive, though maybe not all.

Bottom line for me: I treat all ammo made in China or old ammo from behind the Iron Curtain as corrosive... Only takes a little bit of effort to clean up properly and all is well...

Good luck!

That IS a good price!!! Any more? I may need some at that price!

Shipping would be the killer I think.

only exception is the Norinco silver-box stuff that clearly says "non-corrosive" on the box. It's great ammo but very hard to find.

I have that ammo and a couple other box's marked "non-corrosive". They ALL failed the nail test.
Treat it ALL as corrosive and you'll be OK.

So you are convinced the silver boxed Norinco stuff is corrosive? Anyone else? I haven't opened the crate yet but I will NOT be happy if I paid for NC to get corrosive ammo.
