yeah i think most of it is, the non-corr stuff is too expensive to blast away in a beltfed.
After shoot day is done i usually spray CLP or windex down the barrel. then at home i run some HOT water down it and then some break free and let soak for a couple minutes. then clean as normal with hoppes and patches. i douche the rest of the gun with break free, wipe it out and spray down with rem oil.
I may be overzealous with it, but ive not had one rust up yet :)
I spray them with WD40 right after I'm done loading them into the gun and ready to shoot. Works great and is a must with steel cased ammo if you want it to feed reliably...:)
Isnt mostly all 7.62x54R corrosive? How do you clean the MG after use?

Ya its a pain to clean a rifle like this when using corrosive rounds. But im sure its worth the immense savings.

Do you spray you links and casings down with WD40 before you load them all up?
