[QUOTE="aestus, post: 1807777, member: 2989"] Most will say non corrosive, but are actually very mildly corrosive. Most people just don't notice because they're so mild and with chrome lined barrels and gas blocks it's pretty much "non-corrosive" for most purposes. I've seen a recent batch of "non-corrosive" Tula absolutely turn Yugo M70 with a non chrome lined barrel into a sewer pipe in 2 weeks. The bore was rusted out and chunky with rust and so was the gas block and gas tube. Even the tip of the piston has signs of corrosion. Another friend shooting the same stuff through his converted Saiga had signs of rust in his gas tube. His bore and gas block didn't seem to be affected since his barrel and gas block was chrome lined. I recently had to spend about 3 hours cleaning my very own Yugo M70AB2 underfolder. I had shot some Russian Uly 7.62x39 that was marked as non-corrosive. I didn't rinse the bore down with hot water like I usually do when shooting corrosive Yugo ammo to get out all of the salts. Since this was non-corrosive, usually a good scrubbing with Hoppes is enough followed by lube. Well, 6 weeks later, I was greeted to a nearly clogged and rusted bore. I got the bore back to a mirror shine and didn't see any major pitting. I've learned to not trust anything that's marked 7.62 or 5.45 with the words "non-corrosive." [/QUOTE]
