Corrosive vs. Non-Corrosive Ammo ( 5.45 x 39 )


Recommended Posts

Hello Guys and Gals.

 

New to Saiga's. Just picked up a Saiga IZ-240 ( 5.45 x 39)...and looking at all the AK-74 conversion possibilities.

 

Can someone give me a rough and general brand-name rundown on which ammo brand is corrosive and which is not? I presume the low-cost, military surplus 1080 rd "spam" cans are corrosive. What about other brands ( Wolf ?...Bear?....whatever).

 

Can someone give me a quick list on both types?

 

TIA.

The animal rounds (wolf bear and tiger) are not suppose to be. Most if not all military surplus/military ball from old combloc nations is corrosive.

 

I keep both on hand just in case I dont really want to clean after shooting. Or if a meteor hits the earth I am shooting my non corrosive until i can find time to clean.
