SKS - Shooting corrosive - chinese ammo

Good enough for a day at the range. I seem to get in the neighbourhood of about 4MOA with it. IIRC, the Red Army cut off was 6MOA for a rifle to be accepted for general use.
 
Corrosive ammo only became a concern with the forthcoming of internet gun forums. The previous 100 years people simply cleaned them after use. These rifles were cared for by people who could not read nor write, nor often had any education at all. We still have the exact rifles today as what they used and shot with corrosive ammo.

Having that said, any rifle will rust if you don't care for it, whether it was fired with corrosive primers or not.


Most sks rifles are chrome lined barrels so it makes no difference for old surplus ammo..
 
Chinese stuff is pretty good especially for the price. I have had few FTFs in over 2000 rounds. The same can't be said of the Czech corrosive on stripper clips sold in plastic sealed packs of usually 300 rounds. I have about 2 FTF on that stuff out of 100šŸ˜±. As others have mentioned clean it, preferably the same day, and the Chinese is fine as pretty accurate for 4 inch clays at 50 m.

I wonder if that ammo was stored improperly, or possibly your hammer spring is a tad light. I have fired thousands of rounds of that stuff. Back when a case was $225 shipped I splurged and bought 3 with a tax return. Never had a ftf. I have had ftf with wolf ammo in another of my sks (ammo was never problematic in any other rifle) I stripped the bbq paint off the hammer spring with oven cleaner, reassembled and the gun has not had a ftf since (about 10 years)

I have read this before but in 2000+ rounds, I have never had an issue with the czech stuff.
 
Accurate and reliable ammo, goes bang everytime. Clean after use. I had dirtier and moste corrosive ammo before (the army man green ammo was pretty bad)
