Suppressors Suppressors cause immediate cartridge corrosion??

Was shopping bulk ammo on the Wilson Combat website when I saw their claim that suppressors will cause brass-cased ammo to corrode so quickly and severely that it will be difficult to extract the cartridge within 48 hours. I don't know how else to say it. . . I'm skeptical. Seems like if this was really a thing, the armed forces would have switched entirely to nickel-plated cases or would have some strict guidance on not allowing a live round to remain in the chamber of a suppressed weapon for more than a few hours after the weapon was fired. But my first suppressor is still in jail, so what do I know?

Here's their claim and a photo posted on their site to back up the claim:
"Cartridges shown HERE were left in the chamber of a suppressed weapon for 48 hours after firing 5 previous rapid fire shots. Note the dramatic difference the corrosive effect of hot chamber ammonia has on a brass case compared to a nickel plated case. The nickel plated case extracted easily while the brass case was stuck in the chamber and was hard to extract."

So you're telling me. . . that in an otherwise clean gun with a suppressor, if I burn through 5 rounds rapid fire, and leave the sixth round chambered, that in 48 hours it's going to look like it was fished out of the lake from a boating accident years before?

New CZ 457 MTR and barrel / stock alignment

Hey all,

Started my 10-day waiting today when FedEx delivered to my FFL, and I went in to get the paperwork done. Unboxed and checked it out, and what a good looking stock in person!

But, one thing I noticed that was a bit concerning is that the barrel isn't concentric on the forestock groove; it's obvious, and a bit annoying. Could something have shifted in transit? The barrel and stock don't touch, slid a sheet a paper all the way down no problem. But why wouldn't there be better centering of the barrel and stock?

I was unfortunately in a hurry - FFL is 30 min from home, and I had to get there and back in time to go to Christmas Eve mass. Anything I should examine more closely when I return in 10 days?

Thanks and Merry Christmas / Happy Hanukkah,
Chris

Rust question.

Not about Alec Balwin, he skated. :(

I have 2 of the Remington 700 jeweled bolt stainless actions (both now proudly sporting PVA barrels. I noticed on the rear of one some very light, what I would call 'browning, or pre rust', like a very light discoloration to the finish. I'm wondering if there is a cure for that. Since @bohem is the metal man, perhaps he could chirp in. Mine is like the one below but not nearly as bad, just a small dime sized spot that you wouldnt notice if you werent looking. I was considering buying the one below but this has me a bit concerned. Is there a way to clean it up.

New 22 creedmoor Alpha brass, should I fire form before load development?

Just finished my first rifle build, 22 creed on a kelbly nanook action, proof 22” sendero contour, alpine hunter stock, trigger tech diamond. I ordered 100 alpha brass and a set of redding bushing dies. I bedded the action with gray marine tex. I plan on shooting Berger 75 grain vld’s with H4350 for coyote and groundhog and just plinking. Should I fireform 50 of them before getting serious with load development? I don’t have a mandrel or any way to expand the necks. I couldn’t wait to shoot it so I loaded up 10 rounds with 39gr powder and .020” jump and got a couple 3/4” five shot groups. What’s everyone else doing with new brass before load development? Am I overthinking it?
