I picked up an AK and am rooting around for ammo. How can I spot corrosive primers or ammo?

well, if it was made pre 70s and its surplus commie block, its 100% corssive.  after the 70s, its anyones guess.  there is no hard and fast rules.

Take whatever you can get, just clean after use. After all, that's the ammo it was DESIGNED for.

I agree with Tom as lonk as you clean after shooting there should not be a problem. Also the AK should have a chrome lined bore to help prevent corrosion as well.

Clean with soapy water or even better windex, Hoppe's will not do it. (don't ask me about the chem reactions, I just read and try my self).

"Take whatever you can get,"

Good advice, and I appreciate the cleaning tips.
