" Your money, I happily shoot my 70's surplus in my Mosin at 16 cents a round. Clean when I get home and never noticed it any more dirty than other cheap ammo. Only way it will get cheaper is when I start reloading for the Mosin, need a die set. "

" Lots of craigslisters will trade items for coins here, but no businesse accepting silver that I know of.
Seeing plenty of silver coins on ebay but wanting 21x face for them, auctions selling much cheaper. Plenty and plenty of ASE and Maple silver bullion rolls available from the usual dealer... "

" Once I offered to pay an automobile mechanic with Silver Dollars but he declined.
But two weeks later, when we bumped into one another again at a gas station, he asked me if I still had the coins.
I lied and told him "No." "

" Windex I've never heard of it used for that. Is it the ammonia that neutralizes the corrosive elements? I heard that Simple green is a good solvent for general gun cleaning. It seemed logical in that so long as you dry the gun thoroughly, the SG stuff cleans like a whiz.

I shoot corrosive surplus all the time in my Mosin, when I get home a squirt of Windex down the barrel then cl... "

" Wombat's right about the Saiga 12, devastating fire power at close range for under $1000. Your better AR15's can run NATO 5.56 rds. That's plenty of stopping power and they are American made which I like. Ammo of all calibers is available for immediate delivery now at BulkAmmo.com "
