Czech 308 ammo in an M14
- Thread starter .308cal

This is a terrible answer. The S&B yellow/green box stuff coming in is commercial ammo - non-corrosive. As is the Zinc plated MFS stuff as well. Is there actually any corrosive .308 on the market right now? I don't know of any, and if there were, I'm sure alot of the guys on this forum would be using it and cleaning properly and never have an issue.

yes several dealers are selling czech SURPLUS not the commercial S&B ammo
You probably know more about that than I do.
However, I was led to believe that some S&B product was in fact corrosive, their 7.62x39 for SKS/VZ
Yes apparently there is, my dealer actually sells some, and states this up front. But I made the mistake of thinking the original poster was talking about this ammo, when I don't recall the make or country of origin for this corrosive .308.
What exactly do you do , just take off the whole gas system and plunge it into the boiling water ? or can you just pour it in , or submerge the barrel into like a 5 gallon bucket and use a bore brush ?
I remove the steel from the stock, then remove the piston from the gas system.
Remove the bolt from the receiver.
Using a funnel, pour the water down the barrel from the action end. Most will exit the muzzle, some will overflow out the now open gas system.
Catch the water in a big bucket. Have the bolt and piston in the bucket while flooding the bore.
As the water is boiling hot it will heat the steel parts so that when you finish, the remaining water drop boil away.

I just grabbed a box of 147grain Sellier & Bellot .308 FMJ for $15.99
Non corrosive, brass cased boxer primed. Hope my rifle likes them.
Also have another box of 145 grain Privi .308 FMJ for $18.99, brass, non cor, boxer.
Hope my rifle doesn't like them as much as the S&B.

I recently purchased some Serbian made PRVI ammo and was wondering if there is a way to determine if the round is corrosive or not?
Thanks in advance,

Not corrosive and reloadable. The PRVI has been extremely accurate in my M14. Love that stuff.
