OK, What Is The Real Deal With AKs And Corrosive Ammo...?

Aren’t chrome-lined bores supposed to mitigate this to some extent?

Yup. Key part being “some extent” :smiley: I’ve gotten spots of rust on my gas port (chromed), gas cylinder (chromed), and inside the muzzle brake (chromed), in addition to gas tube (non-chromed).

Hmm, I checked my muzzle break and noticed some rusting. Guess I gotta clean it more thoroughly.

Carbine ammo was never corrosive. :slight_smile:
