I just bought some commercial 5.45 tonight on the internet just because of this douche bag. I probably paid too much but decided I had better pick up a little bit in case there is some short term supply disruption getting the commercial stuff out of the Ukraine.
My modest stockpile of 7N6 is getting put up for a rainy day. Tonight on Gunbot - the price difference between 5.45 and 5.56 is now showing as about 11 cents a round.
Makes me want to punch somebody.
I predict he sells 5 guns and goes out of business. No one who knows anything about 5.45 will buy this from him, just on general principles.
Oh and the pistol is some frickin mall ninja buck rogers hybrid cluster F BS. What the hell?? 7N6 import gets banned because of that???
They could at least make something more pleasing to the eye...Especially if they are gonna screw it up royally for everyone else.
Who would buy that POS??? Guys that live in their moms basement that run around in black dusters and think they are Neo in the Matrix??? Damn Damn Damn.
Hold on a sec ... Extar's website says the EXP-556 is chambered in 5.56/.223, not 5.45. I have found a number of posts indicating that folks have converted their EXP-556 to chamber the 5.45 round, but I haven't seen indication that they were originally manufactured that way.
There appear to be other pistols in this caliber -
5.45x39 Pistols
- XCR-L 5.45x39mm Pistol
- JBI Armory 5.45x39mm Pistol
- Horns Custom Rifles 5.45x39mm Pistol
