Hi,

A local guy is selling this ammo...is this ammo alright or junk?

Price is $2.36 per round.

Thanks in advance.

Good to know...thanks.  It's OBO, so I was going to offer less.  Any concerns with corrosive primers?

I have some of the FLB from 1982.

Black tip has a huge hardened AP core.

Bought a sealed 400 round crate.

Gave $2.00 a round for it and he threw in a BOHICA Arms upper for free!

My batch is definitely non-corrosive.

Be aware though the brass is Berdan primed so not as easily reloaded as Boxer primed stuff.

Clean any corrosive primer ammo as if it was black powder. I have had no issues.

Its foreign so treat it as corrosive and you won't be pissed off if it is.

The only country to be sure of is the U.S.

That's not certain either.  Some WWII US 50 was corrosive.


Argy AP has always shot great in my M82 and M107A1.  Have not seen any signs of corrosion but clean my guns regularly.
