Help I.D. ing some ammo?
The ammo is in a brown cardboard / paper box, across the top is written:
50 Cartouches de 7,62mm K
M* 1950 pour CARABINE
Etusi: Laiton M* 1950 3- A.VE-59
Amorces: M* 1950 4- MGM-59
Balles: O M* 1950 2- A.VE-59
Poudre: G8-SP (0,3) 2-PRB-56
Charge 0,872g
LOT 5 - A.VE - 60
This is all that's written on the box! Are they just 30 Carbine rounds for a M1, or is this all together different? I don't have the boxes in front of me, so I can't see the bullets. Corrosive or non corrosive? Still useable?
A friend asked me if I could use these, or possibly sell them for him, any help would be appreciated?
Thank you,
Gary

French, supposedly with corrosive primers. I don't know for a fact that they are corrosive? But with the inaccessible floating chamber of the carbine. I wouldn't be shooting any, till i found out one way or another.
Shooting corrosive ammo in a gas operated semiauto rifle. Not designed for easy internal cleaning, is a major fail. We had a guy at work, will found that out the hard way. By shooting Chinese corrosive 7.62 X 39, in a Ruger Mini-30.0 -
It's nasty corrosive! I would put it second to Korean '06, which is right behind battery acid.
If you use it in your carbine, be sure to clean for corrosive the same day. I would suggest getting a gas piston wrench if you don't already have one, for a thorough cleaning.0 -

The worst corrosive ammo, I had ever run across. Was French 45 ACP in green 25 round boxes. Years ago there use to be a lot of it around.
Didn't know it was corrosive. Until I checked my barrel the next day. Rusted in less than 24 hours.
Get rid of that Carbine ammo, don't even consider shooting it.0 -
Thank you for all your help on this one! 0 -
It could be useable in the Ruger Blackhawk in .30 carbine.
No worry about gas ports.
