5.45 corrosive?

[LORD of WAR]

does anyone know if the 5.45x39 that collectors is selling is corrosive or not?

when i asked them they shrugged and said i dont think so

anyone know how to tell???

I don't think any 5.45 is corrosive. It's a fairly new round and even the Eastern bloc had mostly stopped using corrosive primers by that time. If you're worried, run some windex down your barrel before cleaning.

all surplus 5.45 is mildly corrosive

Everything I have heard is that all 5.45 is corrosive.

What's the country of origin?

You could buy a single box and determine if it's corrosive or not yourself...
