5.45?

[rob-cubed]

Does anyone know how easy 30rd mag are for the 74? AK47 are abundant

74 mags are a little rarer, but still pretty easy to find. About the same price, and the bakelite/plastic is durable and much lighter than the all-metal 47 mags.

I haven't broken down and gotten a 5.45 Saiga yet. Would be very interested in a group buy... though it's so cheap already it would probably only save a few bucks a unit!

I have a Romanian SAR-2 in 5.45x39. It was so much fun that I had to get another one (AIM had them on 'clearance' for $289, at the time). one was in the group of stolen weapons I lost a couple of years ago.

Anyway, I'm in the process of building a couple of AKs. One is the Polish Tantal (which is 5.45, of course). I like the round a lot. I don't have the suggested 20k rounds. But I have picked up several of the wooden crates before and after the recent ammo price surge. Century, last month, had it for $107 a can.

5.45 also looks good in purple, or so my wife claims.

i never get tired of posting that pic.

LWRC is about to offer an AR upper in 5.45x39mm, the price point is going to be well below the 5.56 models, if you have further questions you can read the thread from our forum below, or email me @ jbernstein@lwrci.com

I got 4 for 40 bucks... so ya, they are abundant and cheap. Here is my beater AK-74 on an NDS-2.

I had to drive all the way out to VA and still paid $30 for one. Can you tell me where you got that deal?

 

[smores]

Get one and take the money you'd save over shooting 5.56 NATO and stockpile a couple of pallets of spam cans full of the commie 5.45 stuff!

I would if I had the $$$

I'm seriousy looking at Tantal, but there's several things on the list ahead of it. Might not be a bad idea to buy one more extra case of ammo than you think you need in case the surplus dries up suddenly.

1/2 price here... $15.95 each. I ordered them from VA and had them mailed to VA, picked them up and drove them home. No laws broken. I got them on sale.

Found an awesome quote from the saiga forum

"So anyways, If you plan on shooting things behind a brick wall or to fend off terminators from the future, then go 7.62x39. But if you want something that's good for stopping human beings, zombies, aliens, anything flesh - Go 5.45x39."

Even 7.62x39 is a little light for that... for brick walls and terminators, I prefer 7.62x54R if I am going to use a comblock round.

If you want to smash things, without over penetrating, at close distance. I think you would be hard pressed to find anything more effective for the money than the Saiga 12 with a 20 round drum firing slugs (except maybe .50 beowulf, and try getting ammo for that!)
