I have tested corrosion resistance of it, as well as the Sprinco variant, and the Colt, and it does not corrode readily. The Sprinco corrodes very readily, and the colt is in the middle, leaning toward the SAW end of the spectrum. Ejector spring problems manifest with weak "brass dribbling out" symptoms, and can even cause the extractor to hold onto the case long enough that it shoves it into the front of hte port, as the casing is hit by the returning BCG it remained on the bolt face so long, and stove-pipes the gun.
