.... no rust on any of em........ guess that kinda blows that theory huh?
No. It only means that the guns you had didn't rust, and the gun that did rust was in a different place. And no, I've never built an AK, not that it's relevant.
As far as Wolf being gauranteed non-corrosive......... ya just keep believing that
Didn't say guaranteed. Just said the thousands I fired were not corrosive, and the corrosive rounds I've fired were far more corrosive than your pictures show.
I have a 5 gallon bucket of corroded wolf cases (the inside of the cases, the outsides are clean)
Of course the inside is corroded and the outside is not. The outside is polymer coated and the inside is bare steel. Bare cheap steel, without a hint of chromium or other rust-inhibiting alloying elements.
that particular lot of ammo (5,000 rnds) had 75% of the cases start showing corrosion within 4 days of sitting outside in ARIZONA we are not known for humidity down here in case ya weren't aware.
In case you weren't aware, moisture or humitidy isn't required for corrosion or rust. It helps, but is not necessary. How about you wash out some Wolf cases thoroughly, make sure all "corrosive" residue is gone, then dry them out thoroughly. Set them, in the same conditions, outside and see if there's a difference in the rust.
Oh yeah, and in case you weren't aware, there is significant humidity in arid regions during certain times of the day - you do still get dew some mornings, don't you? In fact, if I remember correctly, condensation from dew (which will form more heavily on metal objects due to their higher heat capacity) actually exceeds rainfall for much of Arizona.
ya might have fired thousands of rounds of Wolf ammo partner but I've BUILT thousands of AKMs from parts sets ever since 1983 and even torched trunions then sealed in plastic bags and stored for decades has never resulted in that same blueish oxidation ya see on the face of that gas piston, thats EXACTLY what the results of corrosive primed ammo results in.......
Really? Cause all the rust I've seen from corrosive ammo has been orange. Granted, I've only fired old Czech corrosive 7.62x54R and Yugo M67 7.62x39, but those both caused orange fuzz if I didn't clean them immediately. Never had blue corrosion on my gun unless... unless... they had copper residue in the barrel, and I used a COPPER SOLVENT that turns the copper residue green. I'm willing to bet that he cleaned the gun before shooting it, and there was some residue left. Or maybe he lubed the gas piston with Hoppes #9, that will turn copper and brass a nice green color.
OH and BTW, There is the lil issue of there not being any trace of rust on the rest of the gun.
Well, you didn't say there wasn't rust anywhere else in your original post.
anywhere so your rust that would have ocured unfired and new is really special right? it only effects the bore, the muzzle device, tha gas port/block and the face of the gas piston?
Interestingly enough, when firing corrosive ammo, I've never had the bolt face rust on me. Yet the bolt face is rusted in your picture. Also, the stainless gas piston hadn't rusted on me either - even after a few days in corrosive salts.
The really odd thing is that the corrosion is blue. That indicates that he used a copper solvent on the gun. Probably lubed it with Hoppes #9 which is a weak copper solvent. It'll turn copper and brass a nice green/blue color, like what you see on your piston there.
And interestingly enougher, it might also strip chrome plating from the bore! Did you know that some chrome plating is actually attached to a thin layer of nickel which is deposited over copper, which is attached to the barrel? Dissolving out that copper will make the chrome flake off. And that's what looks like happened to that barrel, in addition to the rust.
do ya wanna think on that a minute or two and Edit your comment above to look less foolish?
