Section 9: Military Weapons Subject: M1 Carbine Msg# 1053924

If the ammunition is USGI, it will not be corrosive. Ammunition for the M1 Carbine during WWII was the only long gun type being produced in the US as non-corrosive (vs .30-'06). OTOH, foreign surplus ammunition for the M1 Carbine could be corrosive. Years ago, I bought a bunch of French Vietnam era Carbine ammunition, and it was definitely corrosive.

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: My guess is the rounds will go BANG when you pull the trigger, maybe somebody else with more knowledge can comment. I have fired military ammo from 1929 and it shot just fine. Be sure to clean the bore after using it as primers could be corrosive. |
