Hi,

I’ve been looking for some Non Corrosive 7.62 Soviet Norinco or Barnaul in bulk at a decent price. All leads are appreciated.

Thank You.
 
Cabelas carries the the Norinco ammo. Barnaul is long gone as commercially available 7.62 x39 ammo. I doubt you will find any outside of gun shows or in private hands. Define what you consider as "a decent price"?

Watch Cabelas they have Norinco red box on sale for $9.99 every so often.

That was last year . . . latest "Sale price" was $11.99. Trudy's-inflation strikes again ! Unless another container comes over we wont see prices like that again.
Scar - You should plan on cleaning using MilSurp. You only need to run HOT water thru the barrel (and gas tube if SKS) then clean as normal (except MSS is really "sooty" - lotsa patches w-#9 needed). My 'laundry sink' is right beside my Hot-water heater so gets REALLY HOT. MS is only ca $ 0.40 / round from Tenda, just buy enuf to get Free Shipping.
I use MS in my Ranch x39 and it only adds 5-min to a cleaning.
 
I will be shooting it out of a new type 81 and am worried that disassembling the rifle every time will contribute to excessive wear and tear plus I will be constantly worried about corrosion.
 
Flaherty has some PPU for $26 ; Reliable - PPU @ $29 ; G4C PPU_Sub @ $30 .
I just went thru ammobin to find "IN Stock". May not be there when you look. And nothing in the price range you want. Wait for Cab/BP to get some more OR Buy now at $25+.

Even at the full retail sticker price of $15/box the Norinco is cheaper than the Ruag or Western Metal options posted above.


I suspect Cabelas will have it for $9.99 again at some point, but it might only be a single day on a Wild Wednesday deal or maybe a single weekend on a Wild Weekend sale. Best to check regularly if you're hoping to score a deal. Even at $11.99 its half the cost of the Ruag or Western Metal options listed above.

If you have "Proper Tools" like screwdrivers that "Fit" the sockets - 'T's, hex, or whatever - you should be OK. It's a gun, not a vase. And if you clean 'Same Day' as shooting you should have NO Corrosion probs. But you must be meticulous.
 
Ballistol and boiling hot water is your friend when cleaning corrosive primer salts, boiling water dissolves the salts when poured down the bore and gas system. The boiling water heats the metal up hot enough that it dries itself, run a brush and patch with it to remove powder fouling like any other solvent. Any smaller bits and pieces soak in a Ballistol and boiling water mix to break down carbon fouling and dissolve salt residue.

Ballistol emulsifies in water making a milky solution, an alkali from what I understand. It’s widely used to clean rifles that shoot corrosive primed ammo or black powder rifles. Use it and you won’t need to worry about rust, the other plus is it’s non toxic and won’t do you any damage if there’s contact with skin. Can be used on leather, wood etc etc without any damage.

Potassium Chloride (the salt created when firing corrosive ammo) is PH neutral. Salts are water soluble though, so really that should be the focus, dissolve, not neutralize. Diluted ballistol is good, not because it neutralizes anything (it would if there was something to neutralize, it IS alkaline), but because the water dissolves the salts while the ballistol protects the gun from the harmful effects of the water. For the longest time I thought the corrosive salts were acidic, because there is a lot of talk about neutralizing them on the internet, but that is not the case.

Ballistol is also a disinfectant, so if you get slide bite at the range or cut yourself at hunt camp you're good to go if you've ballistol! lol

I didn’t say it neutralizes anything, the water dissolves and flushes the salt residue and the Ballistol removes powder fouling and oils after. It just happens to emulsify in water so you get to do two things at once.

And I didn't claim you did. I was just adding additional context for those who might not already be aware of the chemistry at work with corrosive ammo.

Every store around me is sold out of the Norinco. Pretty much everything non corrosive 7.62 actually. Asked a few. No idea when more will b incoming.

Barnaul is long gone. Only available on the secondary market at twice the price.
