everyone keep a look out for 7.62x39 yugo surplus at your local gun stores. I just picked up 1120 rounds for $229 after tax (about 20 cents a round) ... oh did i mention they have all brass casings and are on stripper clips. a much more accurate alternative to wolf
If it's CORROSIVE, spray the bore with WINDEX after you finish shooting the corrosive ammo
I'm on a mission. I want to single-handedly remove this pervasive and wrong myth from INGO.
Windex is completely unnecessary.
WATER is what you want to flush with. Hot water...warm water...cold water... As long as it's liquid. boiling-hot water can be better, as it heats the metal that'll aid in evaporating the water out of places water ought not to be.
The only redeeming value in using "windex" is that it's mostly water. period.

Full support me man! Heck, the ammonia cleaners in that stuff can't be good for metal either!
Yugo is above milspec, it's super ammo! Hotter than what is considered "milspec". Yugos loaded it warmer and used brass cases instead of laquered steel to ensure it would function in fouled, dirty non-chromed weapons.
It is corrosive from what I have read. It is the closest thing to mil spec too from what I have read.

Windex helps if you don't clean it right away.......but when you do clean it clean it like you would a muzzle loader......then give the bore when hot a patch or 2 of bore butter(if it's chrome lined no butter)......been usin' this method from the early 80's and haven't had 1 corrode from nasty ammo yet...AK'S,SKS'S ,Mauser's,Hakim's ect....
With all due respect... Again, Windex and/or Windex plus ammonia is worthless. It's the WATER in the products that's doing the work.
Fill the windex bottle with water. Use that.
Chemically speaking, NOTHING in windex or in windex + ammonia will do anything to hinder corrosion formation or neutralization. It's a MYTH. I promise.
That said... If all you have is windex or a windex-like cleaner, then go ahead and use it. It's somewhere between 93% and 95% water.

I think it's the ammonia, that helps get rid of the residue of corrosive primers
Isn't great that we can have different views on
In that order, mister!
