Just wondering if anyone has any opinions on this. It is advertised as non-corrosive, but from my research I am thinking otherwise.

Thank you
 
If it's surplus it's safe to assume it's corrosive. Don't trust dealers on this, they just rely on whatever the distributor tells them which in the case of 7.62x39 is often bad info.
 
Thank you guys I appreciate the info, probably going to return or exchange for something else
 
Good luck on the return, YOU won't get Free Shipping . . . You only need to run HOT water thru the bore & gas tube, then clean as normal. Warning !! Most x39 I've seen is pretty filthy with carbon residue anyway. Norinco 'Red box' is Non-C, but still dirty.

I think the OP would have a case that the goods delivered were not as described, and thus the sales contract was not fulfilled by the dealer. This was brought up in a recent thread about a gun being defective and the store wanting to customer to pay the return shipping.

Here are examples of things a retailer cannot contract out of, even if they attempt to by stating it in their terms of sale:

(1) they cannot limit liability for misrepresentation or fraud.

(2) they cannot compel customers to resolve disputes through arbitration instead of court.

(3) they cannot limit or exclude liability for negligence.

(4) they cannot limit liability for the supply of defective goods.


In Ontario, a customer is never bound by any terms of sale that contravene the above, even if he agrees to the terms by making a purchase.

The 4th one is relevant here. That falls under both the Consumer Protection Act and the Sale of Goods Act.

Here are the relevant clauses from the Sale of Goods Act (for ON, but likely similar for other provinces):

14. Where there is a contract for the sale of goods by description, there is an implied condition that the goods will correspond with the description, and, if the sale is by sample as well as by description, it is not sufficient that the bulk of the goods corresponds with the sample if the goods do not also correspond with the description. R.S.O. 1990, c. S.1, s. 14.


16. (2)(c) that the goods will be free from any defect rendering them unmerchantable that would not be apparent on reasonable examination of the sample. R.S.O. 1990, c. S.1, s. 16.

That said, it depends how much the OP wants to fight about it...
