Norinco "non-corrosive" 7.62x39 warning

[BeaverMeat]

What do you run for lube, If any?

 

[JordanYOW]

I use Hoppes oil on all my guns. Also, this was stored with the rest of my firearms and none of them have a spec of rust. I also have a large box of dessicant in the safe and the corrosion is only where the powder accumulated.

Isn't Hoppes 9 oil water based? I have read somewhere on this vast internet that it can cause rust with certain powders/primers.

I'd run tried-and-true CLP in your semi autos.

Water based oil? Thats a thing? I will give something else a try. I haven't noticed clp but will keep an eye out for it.

Don't guess, run this test

This is a very enlightening video. I had no idea it would rust to such an extreme.

I had guns rust in safe because I didnt have proper humidity control.

FrogLube. Pretty amazing stuff...

This is one of many CLPs on the market.

But it doesn't work as well as the older formula.

NC or surplus, find some time to give the old gal a douche in any event.

Well this makes me unhappy, i have a SKS sitting in my safe that i fired around 40-60 rounds through last weekend of norinco non corrosive from canada ammo's last sale. Havent cleaned it as its supposed to be non corrosive. Guess i should check it when i get home.

This would help. Mine was white boxs of 20 with blue norinco name and red writing for caliber etc. And blue and red/orange norinco logo/swirl shape.

I almost want to leave work early and check my SKS this is driving me nuts now.

anything in a crate is not to be trusted

x2!

I always clean my guns after shooting. I like my gun room/man cave. Time to reflect, relax, go over results of certain reloads etc. To each their own, however , rust and corrosion never sleep.

Just pick up another Sks on your way!!!!

 

[Waldbas]

Had me worried..I also bought the ammo on the last sale and finally took my sks out for 100 rounds a month ago.
Not cleaned afterward.
I just checked mine and all is well.

I've shot a few hundred through my Vz, no rust. But it is kinda weird that yours is so rusty.

A pic of the headstamp will tell us. The box means f all
That is corrosive ammo and not due to any storage I have seen.

the man speaks the truth

 

[OneBarfly]

whatever I'm shooting, I run a couple of oiled patches through the bore when I'm done shooting. Not 100% clean, but never had a problem

yeah that rust was due to corrosive ammo i dont think there is much doubt of that.
