[QUOTE="HackerF15E, post: 1698864, member: 9689"] Corrosive primers have certainly grown up to become 12 foot tall monsters hell-bent on destroying your rifle in the internet age. For decades that was the only type of primer that any smokeless cartridge had -- and strangely I have numerous WWII and pre-WWII firearms that all shot plenty of corrosive ammunition (including gas system semiautos like Garands) that weren't destroyed from all that corrosive ammo. It's not that big of a deal. Seriously. Your rifle won't melt...even if it starts to grow a bit surface rust because everything didn't get perfectly clean, it's not that big of a deal. Firearms aren't made of rice paper -- they're extremely robust tools and can stand LOTS more than we as users generally dish out. If you have even the most basic cleaning regimen, you're not going to do any type of damage to it whatsoever. Again, not sure why people in the last 10-15 years have grown to so seriously fear corrosive ammo, but such fear is not warranted. I That being said...feel free to pass on the great Yugo M67 ammo if you are that dead set on avoiding corrosive, and leave it for the rest for us who want inexpensive quality 7.62x39 and aren't scared of shooting corrosive ammo! Spend more and get peace of mind if that's what makes you happy. [/QUOTE]
