7.62x39 surplus all gone?

[Craig0ry]

this was a test a ran back in 2019. Number 1 & 3 were Czech surplus, 2 was the "semi" corrosive from Lever, 4 was Norinco silver box I got from Canada Ammo. I think this pic was after 1 week. Rust just starting to develop under the nail head of the semi corrosive

are you sure 1 and 3 are corrosive, I've never seen brown lacquer Czech, and it usually is always a bxn headstamp

# 1 & 3 were definitely corrosive. One of our RO's brought it in for our test. I thought he said it was Czech, but I may not have remembered correctly. It was on stripper clips. The "semi" corrosive stuff from Lever was in spam cans in paper wrapped bundles of 25 I think it was

Bought my first SKS in Late 2025, purchased a second SKS just before Christmas. Purchased three crates of Chinese ammo from the LGS and then another 3 crates of non corrosive Chinese and corrosive Romanian from a poster on this site. All in all average price per round is $.22/round. As someone here earlier said, “buy cheap, stack deep”, I go through about 220-250 rounds each range visit and always clean my gun thoroughly after each day, better safe than sorry.
