Straight Up, Non Corrosive??? Yes Or No???
« on: July 30, 2009, 08:27:26 PM »

I guess it's the Arabic lettering that throws me, but would you trust this stuff??? I like the brass case, but the trusting of it as "Non Corrosive" has me wondering. I don't want to bet a good AK on it.  You????   Bill T.

It's new enough I would trust it. WWII surplus is another story.

 Take one round , pull the bullet and dump out the powder, chamber the primed case and fire it at a peice of NON STAINLESS steel (need to have the muzzle with in inches of the steel ) leave it over night, If the primers are corrosive there will be rust spots on the steel.

where was it made?  90s production does not mean its not corrosive.  they still make corrosive ammo in some parts of the world.

Acting as FQ's "voice of reality" it's still fun and games to the ones who DIDN'T lose an eye as they get to call him "Blinky".
Yes, the safety glasses were mentioned when I heard this, but I took it for granted and forgot to mention it.

I don't have to worry about the trust issue.

I'll just be a prejudiced son of a gun and refuse to purchase anything with Arabic writing. It might come from Kuwait, but then again it could just as easily be Iranian.

They can keep that s%$t!!!
