Ak ammo

[jslicalzi]

Is it ok to shoot steal out of an ak? I'm new to the ak's. I just purchased one from 2a so I don't have it yet but as ammo comes available I would like to stock up on it. My dad always told me to only shoot brass out of my ar's ,so I didn't know if this applied for the ak as well.


Thanks, ak noob

Okay, thats all that the Ruskies shoot out of theirs

That's all I shoot out of mine. It's what they are made to eat.

Milsurp ammo isn't match-grade but that's the only downside.

Ak's will shoot anything you can fit in there.

pew pew.

It's ok to shoot SAAMI spec steel ammo out of any gun built for that caliber. I have thousands through ARs, 9mms, Glocks and SKSes without issue. Shoot and rejoice!

I only shoot steel out of my AK's

I agree with Dan44, the firearm was designed to shoot what ever fit in it. The Russians just wiped off the mud and loaded the rounds. I'd stick with non corrosive ammo and good cleanings. Have fun!

I think some ranges don't allow bullets that a magnet will attract to.

I think AGC is ok though.

quantico won't allow any steel case, presumably because they can't DRMO it for as much money as brass.

Anoyone know why a lot of the Commie factory ammo is named after animals(Wolf, Bear, and Tiger)?

In soviet Russia ammo eats you

Lol. Good one. Since I bumped this thread up, I wanted to ask about ammo as well. Seems like Tula and Wolf are the main ones that are available now. Anybody have a preference to either one? Anyone have more failures with one or the other? About the same?

As everyone else stated, steel is good to go within the AK platform. Just make sure you take proper cleaning measures if you happen to use corrosive steel case ammo.
