I can’t speak to the Korean stuff. I can tell you that there was a bunch of shit Chinese carbine ammo brought in long time ago that was prone to head separations, kabooms, etc.
The headstamp was LC 52. The spacing of the markings was way off from real Lake City ammo. The boxes were really cheap, low quality paperboard marked 7.62mm. If you have some, pull the projectiles and toss the rest. |

I don't know about Korean carbine ammo, but I've got a bunch of their .30-06 Spr ammo that came on M1 Garand enbloc clips and it is GTG, with the exception that cleaning should be treated like corrosive. I'd probably suggest the same precaution about the carbine ammo unless you hear for sure that the primers are non mercuric.

I need to fork over the $350 and just buy a case while it’s still available. My Carbine doesn’t get near the range trips my Garand and that’s a shame.

It has a bad rep. It blew up my Underwood carbine. It damaged the bolt (repaired since), broke the stock, blew out the mag, and displaced the op rod. After that, I took all I had, pulled the bullets, and tossed the rest. A $1k carbine is worth more than some cheap Chinese ammo with head separation issues. Quote HistoryQuoted:

And it is corrosive. Cleaning the gas system of a carbine is a pain.
To each his own. |

No...it's not corrosive I was not referring to the Korean ammo. Shooting corrosive ammo in an M1 carbine is foolish. |

Looks like AIM has it at $367.2/1080.
That's as good a price as I can find on it. |
