    News flash for you Dude; it was lacquer, gooey, sticky, and didn't rub off on your hands. I've been doing this for a long time so those pics are from long ago.
    So have I. What you "think" was lacquer, is the generously applied primer sealant on all the Russian ammo, that was "gooey and sticky". It coats everything inside the gun and collects quite well under the extractor. It is also not recommended to shoot brass after steel because of a lot of folks getting stuck cases. Which leads to a second theory, that residual red primer sealant is being carried back into the chamber as the rounds are fed, causing a build up, that eventually leads to stuck cases.

    I used to plow through cases of Wolf 7.62x39 with my AK without cleaning it. That damn red primer sealant would be EVERYWHERE on the inside of that weapon!

    So you naturally sent the cases off for chemical analysis to determine the material that was stuck to them... right?

    I'm guessing not chrome lined either. OTOH I've seen most Oly Arms barrels which look like the were rifled and chambered with a rusty dull drill bit.

    The recipe for running steel cases ammo in ARs contains lots of lube, a REAL 5.56mm chamber. If its weak Russian .223 pressure ammo you may have to use a lighter than H buffer.

    Ergo, they're of no pertinence in the here-and-now, and we can let the lacquer BS die the death it deserves.

    ...unless the fossils want to bring up some kind of argument on how mamoths make great domestic animals, or how timber-framing is a superior, more effecient method of residential home construction compared to the use of engineered lumber.

    If we're gonna reside in the past in terms of technical info, let's hop in the Way Back Machine and commit to being REALLY in the past.

    Or, we can drop it entirely on the basis of being an American, hearing hoofbeats and thinking "Zebras!" instead of "Horsies!" (Hint: you ain't in Africa, and exactly how the HELL many zebra herds do we have running around this joint....?)

    I tried to work in unicorns, but the source of the bad gouge prompted me to go with a temporal theme ("It's 20 years later, Mr. van Winkle; shit's changed!"), vice mythical creatures.

    I think from the gold responses of the senior members on this page alone, that this thread is now EPIC. Good stuff and very informative, busting myths and jettisoning dead horses with efficiency and extreme predjudice. Hoorah!

    How about we let this one simmer down until the OP gets back to us. I would love for him to try recommends first.

    What he said ! I was gonna recommend he contact a voodoo queen named Phylis in New Orleans if he didn't take your suggestions. If he tries all of the good suggestions given and that doesn't work, then c4 it. That is all.
