Corroded ammo

[ZRX61]

Any suggestions as to what to do with this?

looks ok to me just use them in a bolt gun i'd clean the butts with a wire brush to make sure the primers are not severly pitted

How about I hold the video camera & you do the wirebrush thing? I've seen what a .50 does when it goes off in someones hand...

I did suggest throwing it in the beadblast cabinet to give em a REALLY good clean but that idea was answered with VERY large eyeballs..

Don't shoot, de-mil it.

Don't shoot, de-mil it.

I don't want to de-mil it (or shoot it). This ammo has some history, it came from under the Greenland icepack.

cool, how did you get it?

I don't understand. If you don't want to shoot it or De-Mil it, what are you asking? Seal it in acrylic and use it as a paperweight?

do you mean literally, "under an icepack"?

How old is it?

Just did some checking, it's not what we thought it was.
I thought this was some of the ammo we have from Galcier Girl, but it's too new (by 12 months).

If so, that would be quite a find and I would never shoot it....I see from your post, you indicate that it isnt from this, but that you might have some...Where did you get it...

Good Luck owning those potential BOMBS!

I would de-mil that chit so fast your head would spin completely off.

De-activate that ammo Pronto!

Traded some P38 stuff where I work & they gave us a (partial) belt of it. I'll dig out the '42 stuff when I get a chance.
