They banned Russian-made 7N6. All of the commercial stuff is fine for now. And while 7N6 was a hell of a deal, I don't see anyone writing off 5.56x45 because there's no 7N6 equivalent for it, and 7.62x39 survived a similar ban just fine.Considering the BATFE's ban on importation of a lot of 5.45x39 ammo
It is still a terrific hedge against ammo shortages. I'd probably rethink an AK-74, but a 5.45x39 AR upper? Still a good idea to have around, even if it's just sitting on the shelf most of the time.I would be very hesitant to consider purchasing anything in this caliber.
Well, they're more expensive to shoot, but I'd argue just as fun. Real problem is that commercial 7.62x25 is like double the price of 9mm, which isn't the case for the 5.56x45/5.45x39/7.62x39 comparison.After 7.62x25 dried up, Tokerevs and CZ-52s aren't nearly as much fun to shoot.

FYI, Grafs carries brass reloadable PPU for $15.80/50 (OOS at the moment but I've bought a bunch this year.) Yes, not the good old days of surplus but still only about halfway between 9mm and 45ACP pricewise.In my eyes, this equals "not as much fun to shoot". 1260 rounds of 7.62x25 for $89 made my CZ-52 a blast to shoot (pun intended). $22 for 50rds- notsomuch.
