What's the point of owning an AK if you're afraid of getting it dirty?

I'd say it's his gun and it's nobodys fucking business what he shoots through it.
I personally shoot a lot of laquered ammo and have never had any problems myself. |

Maybe it's not the steel case or lacquer he;s really worried about? Maybe it's the steel-jacketed bullets, which do wear barrels faster than copper-jacketed bullets do?

I can't hear about AK ammo snobbery without thinking of the guy I was in a rifle class with some years ago. He was running an AK, and "splurged" on a case of nice, shiny new brass cased Winchester 7.62x39 ammo for the class. Jam after jam.... torn rim after torn rim... the extractor was just tearing right through the soft brass. We scrounged him up some cheap-ass Combloc steel "garbage ammo", and he finished the class without a hitch.

When I had an AK, I *preferred* lacquered ammo over the gray poly coated stuff.
Golden Tiger w/ Lacquer FTW. ETA - I still shot the gray crap though. |

Every malfunction I've had with AK's was with Russian ammo, to include seized chambers.
Every AK variant that I have seen that runs like a champ runs on Sako brass-cased Finnish military ammo, with copper-jacketed projectiles. Bi-metal projectiles will wear your bore out quickly if you shoot high volume, so there is good reason to avoid it if you want any kind of accuracy life from your blaster. |

I'd tell him he is right, and he should only shoot 75+ cents a round BRASS CASED 7.62x39.

I wouldn't say a thing. His gun. His ammo. His money. As an adult you have the right to do as you want. Personally I think steel case ammo is crap. Others love it... I reload, most I know do not. If I had an AK I'd shoot brass only so I could reload it.

The ammo needs to be manufactured to the characteristics of the rifle. If lacquer coating worked in DI rifles, we'd be using it. |
