mangled brass in IO AK I have noticed that for some reason my Inter Ordnance AK seems to mangle brass cases more than the steel ones. Any ideas why that may be?

Vigorous extraction!
The gun was designed to shoot steel case (war production)ammo reliably. The extraction is designed with battlefield reliability in mind.
A common other feature in AK's is that they often ding the brass into the action cover and leave a dent in the case.
Alternately, the ammo could be loaded too hot.

I think that brass expands more than steel does too. That's just something to be aware of, not necessarily even a factor in a case getting dented.
I used to own two AK's, an M70AB2 and a WASR10, and both of them thrashed brass ammo. Like said earlier, I don't think the gun was designed to shoot pretty, just shoot.
brass is much softer than steel
Brass ammo is also heavier than the steel cased ammo too.Originally Posted by hiwall
