    Is this corrosive?

    Ran across a lot of ammo in brown cardboard boxes. From the website I have determined that it is Jugoslavian ammo. It told me when it was made, where it was made etc. but not the one thing I really wanted to know

    Is this stuff any good, but mainly is it corrosive?

    I really don't care for corrosive, and the bore is already dark but I just wanted to know

    The ammo is marked NNY 1986

    TIA

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.

    Yes, corrosive it is. Just clean your gun when you are done shooting. All the fuss about corrosive ammo is much ado about nothing as long as you clean your gun well.

    Thanks, I thought it was but wanted to be sure.

    I will shoot corrosive, but.............................when I do I usually take down the gun to it's barreled receiver and flush with water and windex.

    Other than that, I usually clean the "normal" way with solvent and leave the wood attached until my once a year cleaning.

    Thanks for the help
