I did not polish 7 at all. The others I got most of the surface corrosion off. I agree about not wanting to injure me or anyone else. Thanks for the quick reply.

Before my LAR-8 arrived, I bought some Portuguese surplus 308 ammo from the 80's. The plastic battle packs were taped up when I got them. This obviously means that the ammo was exposed to the elements for some length of time. I had not looked much at the ammo until recently. My question is: how much is too much corrosion to be useful ammo? Thankfully, most of it is only slightly tarnished and not corroded. Some of it I would not use no matter how much corrosion I can get off with steel wool and therefore I don't try. Others have some mild to moderate corrosion that comes off with a little polishing but leaves a discolored case but no observable pitting in the brass. I am posting a picture of the various levels of corrosion for you to see. They are numbered so you can say which looks good or not. Let me know what is and is not acceptable. I can take more pictures and try to get more detail in the pictures or from different angles if need be. I just don't want to take any chances and blow up me or the rifle. I also don't want to spend time getting corrosion off of ammo that I think might be OK but is unsafe. Thanks for any advice.

<lmao> <laughs>

I knew what it was and still clicked on it to make sure I was right. What is wrong with me? :unsure:

Welcome from Texas. God blesses all that claim him. I'm sure you'll find the information you're looking for here to help you with your build.

Lean pocket and a nice Rioja. Yummm (for the wine).

Cool!

Welcome from a couple hundred miles up I-45.

Got 2100 rds of 22lr from cabelas. Fast shipping. Still waiting on fal mags.

This is the Texas way. http://www.myfoxdfw.com/story/21993610/robber-shot-dead-by-would-be-victim-outside-everman-store Hopefully the victim gets well soon.

It was on Cabelas web site for about 10 minutes. I just got lucky and followed a link at the right time.

5 20rd FAL mags and 2100 rds of 22LR

I had pizza left over from lunch.

I'm glad I skipped that one. I was going to go, but I had to send more of my hard-earned money to the government. I too have a 5.7 and have held on to the ammo I have instead of paying outrageous prices to replace it. I went to a show in Mesquite a month or so ago and saw a few boxes for $55 - only about 2.5X what they should be.

I should have also thanked you as well. :D

I got an order to go through as well. It should be here by 22nd as well.

Here are some metal 20rd DSA metric mags for $17.99. Unless you are in CA,MA,NJ, CT & NY. ETA: I ordered 5. Shipping is $16, but not too bad overall. I'll see how they work when they show up.

Glad to hear it. Lube it up and start shooting. :auto:

There was some confusion at the sporting goods store.When I was ready to pay for my purchase of a box of shotgun shells, the cashier said "strip down, facing me." Making a mental note to complain to the manager about the anti-gun people running amok, I did as she instructed. When her hysterical shrieking finally subsided, I learned she was referring to my credit card. I have been asked to shop elsewhere in the future. They really need to make instructions more clear!

I saw this earlier today before I knew what had happened.

How about this one for 22LR. It is hard to believe, but this is actually lower than it was a couple of weeks ago.

At least someone I can respect will get some of my tax dollars. <thumbsup> Since I won't be able to, I would request that you spend your money on guns and alcohol. :auto: :2nd:

Closed the office Fri and Sat.

$700 is the price of a non-tactical FNP-45. The tactical usually will run you $1000, even a for a used one.

:yup: :yup: This guy looks like he's dry-humping in mid air. :leghump: At least this one has a leg to hump. <laughs>
