Iv shot 100rds out of my new AK and I love it. Today at the range I noticed this spot in front of my gas tube and idonno what it is. it looks like either copper or rust, but I lube the hell out of it and iv only had it for less than a month. I know in the photo it looks like straight rust, but in person it was a little copper colored, and I just wasn't sure if this was a result of the gas, This is my first ak.

If you are shooting corrosive ammo, my guess is rust.
I cleaned mine with boiling water, if that helps. |

Looks like rust.
What finish is the AK? It's possible that the finished over the rust and the finish is peeling in those spots. AJ |
