A friend has a sealed us military metal container of 45 Acp 230 grain FMJ ammo that he will sell to me. Price is good. Likely brass casings. Would use in 1927 A1. Should I be concerned about this being corrosive to the hardware type of ammo?

"Corrosive" ammo is only corrosive if you fail to properly clean the firearm. If you like the price...ENJOY it and clean your gun. If your the type who wants to run a few magazines of it through your gun, then pull a "bore-snake" through the barrel, call it good and stick the gun in a closet without properly cleaning...it's probably not a good idea for you to use that stuff. I've fired "corrosive" ammo for years, decades even... and have had ZERO problems as a result.

Open a box and make sure there is no blue green corrosion. I see old ammo all the time and some of it is easily cleaned and others are too corroded to make me comfortable.
