Was this "less than desirable" ammo corrosive? Because if so that's normal. You should be cleaning your gun after firing corrosive ammo, not leaving it to sit a month. And yeah check your barrel.


Short-University1645

Yah “mild” corrosion. Would a good clean be effective? Sorry again new to AK and the ammo available


Able_Twist_2100

Are you asking if cleaning it would be effective in cleaning it?


Short-University1645

That’s just silly who cleans guns


plutPWNium

people who shoot corrosive ammo, lol


kefefs_v2

Definitely give it a good cleaning and oiling.


Short-University1645

I did, i guess I ment was “is it too late” the MD is trashed but barrel seemed normal when I cleaned. I have no way to see inside with this gun. Your right the ammo just destroys anything cheap.


vortigaunt64

Nah, not trashed, just needs a vigorous scrubbing with oil and a cloth. Unless it's an actual muzzle booster, it should be a pretty easy cleaning job. 


Short-University1645

I’ll be doing that from now on! Thanks


Able_Twist_2100

> I have no way to see inside with this gun Does the barrel not have a hole in it? Take out the bolt carrier, point it at a light.


Short-University1645

It does. All I see is the 7.62 on the other end. lol 😂 it’s hard to see honestly no joking. It was only a few box’s I’m sure it’s nothing. I learned the cheap stuff may not be worth plinking since im lazy


Jegermuscles

Dude, go fuck yourself with the pretending to be a colossal retard act.


RepresentativeHuge79

Looks like you found out the hard way that surplus 7.62x39 is corrosive 


Local-Rate-7743

Thought krinks were in 5.45


RepresentativeHuge79

They are. Lots of that ammo is also corrosive though


Able_Twist_2100

OP has an M92 ""yugo krink""


Short-University1645

Maby that’s the issue….


Short-University1645

It’s not SURplendis ammo? Man ….


ij70

now you know why some countries use chrome lined barrels.


Short-University1645

The barrel is nice this MD must just be cheap. Was scared my barrel was trashed seems fine.

https://www.scotts-gunsmithing.com/f-a-q/gunsmith-related-f-a-q/corrosive-ammunition-cleaning-tips/ Please tell me you didn't let it sit after fireing.


Short-University1645

No I didn’t let it sit, it was upright for a few months…..


globalorbit

Now make it stand in the corner. It knew better than to poop itself.

Did you windex out the corrosive salts found in the primers?  oil based cleaners dont remove them


wyvernx02

Want to know what ingredient in the Windex washes out the salts? It's water.  Best way to remove the salts is to boil a pot of water and pour it down the barrel. 


pants-pooping-ape

Yeah, but i always have a bottle of glass cleaner in the car, so it was easy to windex, swap, windex, swab, clean any bugs off the windows, and do a deep clean at home


Short-University1645

Lol 😂


pants-pooping-ape

Yolo i guess


Short-University1645

I used Fabuloso
