Surplus 7.62x25

[Coronach]

Anyone know if this stuff is:

1. Corrosive
2. Safe for use in a CZ-52
3. Good
4. Priced right?

Thanks,
Mike

Very attractive price Mike!!!! If they give '80 as mfr year then could well be non-corrosive but no way to really be sure. Call to AIM maybe? Guess the other thought always is - is it std pressure or hotter?.

All I have used has been S&B so far. Sorry no help.

 

[Coronach]

Yeah...

Being used to S&B prices, I was like "Whoah. Cool."

I'd get it, but treat it as corrosively primed (which isn't a big deal anyway).

It is corrosive, all comblock stuff was. Corrosively-primed ammo lasts longer in storage and, when you have conscripts you can force to clean their weapons, then being corrosive was no problem. With the CZ-52 and Tokarev, though, cleaning for corrosive ammo is simplicity itself. Just remove the barrel and was with soapy water. Then, clean as normal and then oil. It takes no time to do. I won't shoot corrosive in my rifles because it is harder to clean (though not that big of a deal, either). But, in handguns if corrosive equals half price, sign me up!

Ash-

Good points. I think I'll pick up two cans.

Thanks!

It is corrosive and decent shooting ammunition for the price.
The Romanian stuff should not pose any problems in a good condition CZ-52 pistol.
