7.62X39 PRC is it corrosive or non?

take a small steel plate. Take out the bullet. remove the powder. strike the primer facing the steel. take a regular primer from a known non corrosive cartridge. do the same beside the 1st one. wait a couple days. then you will see which one rusts more. that is the corrosive one.

Thanks. I will definitely give that a try.
 
Here is my question to all you guys! This is not the first time someone got scammed over buying non-corrosive & getting corrosive ammo! Can't we do something about it? At least a warning Thread about those crooked suppliers. They are just getting away with these & we are suffering for it! I live in the territories & going back to Calgary to try to return it is out of picture. I'm very sure, those crooked suppliers have done it many times & they will have a mouth full of answers if you go back to them. Any suggestion or ideas!

There have been many warning threads, but unless people post in them every 5 minutes they fade into forum obscurity.
 
I bought the same crate from things military. Did the nail test compared to x25 ammo known to be corrosive, that x39 ammo and some cci primers. Not saying there's not some non corrosive mixed in but the 2 that I tested gave me same results as the x25. So I'd say great it as corrosive and clean accordingly.
 
I bought a case of the Chinese "non corrosive" from a site sponsor here too. I tested it using the bright nail test and it was most certainly corrosive. Nothing like paying the extra $$$ to get scammed.
 
It's a shame these places are still advertising them a non-corrosive when everyone who has used them say that it is corrosive.

The only stuff I've seen that is non corrosive is 90's production norinco, Barnaul, PRVI and MFS. Which are .40-.50c/ round
 
It is best to do 24 hr nail test, non-corrosive will not put any rust in that time corrosive will. Empty fresh shoot case add water and leave it for 24hr with bright steel nail
 
No one is forcing no one to disclose any name but every time we keep our mouth shut, one more scammer is getting away with it!

Why would I deserve it? Because I don't want to start a smear campaign on here for a dealer that otherwise has been excellent? No one deserves to get scammed.

Exactly. That is why you need to inform us.

No smear compaign when you only state facts. Company X sold me X as non-corrosive. Its was corrosive. Good day.

So you are telling be that beside scamming you they have been excellent. Good to hear.
 
When I buy ammo I just clean the guns when I get home to me its part of shooting. I treat all foreign ammo as corrosive and clean accordingly. For me its cheap insurance and cheap shooting.

I agree with you on the cleaning part but my question is, would you boil you barrel to clean non-corrosive? If I pay extra for non-corrosive then i will clean it as a regular gun not boiling it!
