Good test, and not likely to cause any real harm if immediately dealt with. Although, all my 7.62x39 guns have chrome lined barrels. Wouldn't this delay rusting quite a bit?


Yes the chrome is there as much for corrosion protection as anything as I was told. I did torture tests on a Chinese sks including a lot of Yugo corrosive ammo which that was printed in big bold print right on the box in big bold letters. It gobbled them up without complaint and I couldn't see any issues

Good to hear.
