looking for non corrosive ammo hopfully inexpensive , suggestion on brands that wont destroy my ak, want to actually do some shooting instead of letting it collect dust, also looking for extra mags, looking for the ones that will actualy operate and fit correctly
aimsurplus and centerfire systems usually have good deals on mags. Most steel east euro mags will work fine in most AK's. Ammo wise, Wolf, Brown/Silver Bear, Goden Tiger, Tula, etc. are all non-corrosive. The Yugo surplus stuff is the most common corrosive ammo around now.
Its an AK. You won't hurt it. They are designed to run for years on corrosive ammo with minimal cleaning. I run Russian and Yugo stuff. The Yugo stuff is pretty accurate and cheap.
I acquired my first ever Roumanian AK 47 in a trade yesterday. I traded him a Bersa 380 for it. He traded it because he couldn't get hits with it. The front sight was all the way to the right. I used my bench vise to push the sight over to the center. I will shoot it this weekend for the frst time.
The barrel is chromed, I can see that. Is the gas system also chromed?
I have some Yugo corrosive ammo. I will flush it with water if I have to, but other advice is welcome.
OOOOO Klimovsk is back! I shot a bunch of this a few (like 10) years ago and it was damn good. Much, much better than Wolf. Still got a case in my SHTF stash. Gonna order some and if its as good as the old stuff, well, I hope my UPS guy doesn't have a bad back!
