I went into a Big 5 store today to inquire if they had any carbine ammo, clerk replied "sure it's on sale today" $46.99 plus tax. I declined.

cal 30 m-1 ammo
I have some Chinese, marked Lake City ammo I bought a while back that I might try shooting. I know it is somewhat corrosive but will it harm the piston if I clean it properly afterwards - that is my only real concern, I can clean the barrel easily but what about the inside of the piston?

Art: Other than being dirty, whats wrong with Wolf? Seems that a lot of it is being used in other mil rifles. Haven't shot any carbines for long time, way back when LC was plentiful and cheap, but looking for something reasonably priced.

Steel cased Wolf carbine ammo is very hard on extractors. The steel cases don't rebound as much as brass cases and make extraction harder. Since the extractor is one of the weakest parts on the carbine, the steel cases can damage the extractor by chipping or breaking off the edge of the extractor.
When they tell you to behave, they always forget to specify whether to behave well or badly!

ulflyer,
Art and Jimb are correct. I wouldn't use it regardless of price or availability.
