corrosive ammunition

[lone-wolf]

Just kidding.

With my SKS I just boil a pot of water, strip the gun down and pour the boiling water over & in everything. Reassemble & oil. Didn't do it for a couple days the first time, and there was light rust.

LOL wow, a brought back from the dead thread(2006) WOW, I luv it. So since I was not here in 2006, I will post now lol

I got this from a great gunNut (thanks P.P!!) Its works great to flush the barrel with boiling water.

I did the water and/or windez thing a few times, then realised that normal cleaning works just as well. I just keep everything oiled up before putting the gun in the safe, wipe it off just before I head out to the range.

for my sks I strip it down and clean as normal(hoppes9 and/or clp)
Every 500 or so rounds I clean with near boiling water and some dish soap.
so far, so good

Julian Hatcher did corrosion tests concerning corrosive primers and determined that 50% humidity was required to induce rusting.

For the people in lower mainland BC - what part of the lower mainland do toy live in that has "low humidity?"

I apologize for my ignorance in advance as I have not purchased any factory ammo for many moons and don’t shoot an SKS.

It appears that the corrosive ammo is a pain when you come around to clean your rifle and yet there is still a risk of corrosion/rust. Why are you still buying them?

Well, Corrosive ammo is $0.18 cents a round..

Non-Corrosive is around $0.64 cents a round.

Vancouver has low humidity because we have low temperatures. Try any city on the eastern seaboard from Toronto to Houston for REAL Humidity!

Here in Bantario I see non-corrosive for $20/box whereas corrosive is $4/box. Enough said!

We have very high humidity in the winter.
