StantheMan 3 Posted May 4, 2013 Report Share Posted May 4, 2013 Today at a gun show I found some norinco steel core ammo for cheap. Is this stuff worse on your barrel than the tula or wolf ammo? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
breid1970 327 Posted May 5, 2013 Report Share Posted May 5, 2013 I have no clue. But I hope it works well for you. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
su16a 84 Posted May 5, 2013 Report Share Posted May 5, 2013 I think I use to get Norinco years ago in .223 for my Mini14. I just remember the cheesy yellow boxes but don’t remember any issues with it. Just did a quick search and came up with these two links… http://forums.gunboards.com/showthread.php?162620-Norinco-yellowbox-7-62x39-steel-core-ammo http://forums.gunboards.com/showthread.php?288858-Norinco-7-62x39-Ammo-Buy-or-not-to-buy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PFerris 76 Posted May 5, 2013 Report Share Posted May 5, 2013 It is crap ammo, it will ruin your gun. Sell it to me cheap and I will use it to ruin my gun. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Shandlanos 1,470 Posted May 5, 2013 Report Share Posted May 5, 2013 It's fine ammo, and highly sought by collectors since it is unimportable. Legally, it is armor-piercing pistol ammunition. In reality, the mild steel core just made it cheaper and easier to manufacture, not any better at punching holes in things. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lone Eagle 839 Posted May 5, 2013 Report Share Posted May 5, 2013 It has the same bi-metal jacket as the Russian stuff, just on a steel core like the x54R surplus. The whole "armor piercing" bullshit was brought to you by the same Brady Dickheads who labeled Black Talons "cop killers". 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ShadowFire 220 Posted May 5, 2013 Report Share Posted May 5, 2013 It's more like collector ammo. Because you can't get anymore of it, people collect it but never shoot it. Then when ammo prices sore through the roof, like stocks on wall street, a bunch of it shows up for sale again. It's alright to shoot. It has a mild steel core, not like it's a problem for modern body armor anyway, more like a political stunt to ban it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dubya 198 Posted May 7, 2013 Report Share Posted May 7, 2013 Today at a gun show I found some norinco steel core ammo for cheap. Is this stuff worse on your barrel than the tula or wolf ammo? Do NOT mention steel core around here! That stuff is armor piercing and makes us all look bad! Isn't that pretty close to what you told me a few months ago when I asked about steel core?

StantheMan 3 Posted May 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2013 What? Um I don't know how to respond to that. No because I was not a member here a few months ago....and it is not armor piercing do your research. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

StantheMan 3 Posted May 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2013 I'm not here to argue with you guys, I am here for information on the ak/saiga platform. I still think this forum is a great place. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dubya 198 Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 Do ya now? You never wanted to leave in the first place because you finally felt accepted somewhere but couldn't keep your trap shut and got banned what? 3 times ? Or was it 4? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You never wanted to leave in the first place because you finally felt accepted somewhere but couldn't keep your trap shut and got banned what? 3 times ? Or was it 4? Listen idiot, for the last time I have never been banned from here this is the FIRST TIME I've been here. You are very immature. I've been watching from a distance lately and noticed you guys rail roadin' a couple new guys thinking that they are SS man or super man or what ever. Knock it off and get a life dude, you must have been brought up by a drunk dad and a mean step mom who beat you all the time and now you have this inferiority complex or something?

dubya 198 Posted May 22, 2013 Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 Yes! Exactly! Maybe if you wouldn't ask so many stupid questions nobody would think you're SS,SS. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kayzap 0 Posted May 28, 2013 Report Share Posted May 28, 2013 (edited) The Norinco ammo is pretty accurate and the stuff I have is corrosive. But I shoot a lot of corrosive anyway so that part doesn't matter. It is no harder on your rifle that any other ammo since the steel plug is covered in a lead cushion.

uzitiger 193 Posted June 1, 2013 Report Share Posted June 1, 2013 You're lucky to have found any ammo. I haven't seen Chinese ammo in years. It works well but it's dirtier than Russian ammo and smells a lot worse. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sirex 34 Posted June 9, 2013 Report Share Posted June 9, 2013 I bought some Chinese steel core stuff for my Norinco SKS and found it wasn't as accurate as the cheap non corrosive Tula. And the Tula is not my favorite. May just be my SKS, but the rest of the cheap Russian stuff seems much better for me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
t3mac21 1 Posted June 16, 2013 Report Share Posted June 16, 2013 I have some chinese steel core. What's the factory and date stamp? It's decent ammo, a local older guy gave two of my buddies NIB norinco SKS' for their birthdays years ago, he had cases of the stuff and I bought some off of him. Shoots fine, nothing really "special" about it other than the fact it's impossible to find now. The steel core and copper washing has more to do with producing cheap ammo than "armor piercing" abilities. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
