guess what happend

[penguinofsleep]

yes, it was a .223 i inadvertently loaded into an ak mag. when the round went off it felt like a squib and i had to use a cleaning rod to get the case out. i proceeded to shoot it some more with the correct ammo.

this is not a case of ****ty ammo, this is a case of operator error.
i never thought i was dum enough to shoot the wrong ammo in my gun.. until it happend lol

just no stopping the AK.

Steel cased garbage. This is why I buy brass only!

Pretty smart comment. So brass is stronger than steel. Hmmmmm...... (Next time, hone in a little more on what you are looking at and do a little studying up on your metallurgy. )

How the **** did you accidentally load a .223 into your AK? I'm holding my tongue on this (so to speak), but I think you need to pay more attention to what you're doing when it involves a firearm. We all make mistakes but that's a bad one.

AK-47~ So awesome a ruptured 223 round does nothing to it.

Brass would've done the exact same thing if not worse in this scenario

I'll finish your quote for you.............

In Kalashnikovs voice, " I spit at your 223 round pheww-- hahaha -- and then feel like idiot after Mother Russia copies your .223 with - what is now standard Russian AK(74) cartridge : the 5.45x39mm. I guess imitation is sincerest form of flattery. "

I'm surprised the .223 would seat well enough in the chamber that the firing pin could hit dead center of the primer, good thing you were shooting the low-power variety and chamber pressure was near non-existent. The reason it wouldn't extract is because of the smaller rim, not because the metal was stuck in the highly tapered chamber. BTW: hope you have a chrome-lined chamber because that's probably fire scored a bit otherwise, though I guess maybe you AK guys don't care.
