[hbean]

OH now don't be so glass is half empty :D

That is because my half full glass is filled with CZ805 bitterness

[jonythebeast]

and with the real non-corrosive surplus gone, the choices are somewhat limited.

What are you talking about, there is tons of corrosive surplus to be had.

He said NON corrosive

Oh I understand now, tis those half cups of bitterness that keep me warm on these cold winter days (notice my name ain't compassionate wolverine or happy go lucky wolverine)

I just wasn't sure which of the "glass people" category you might be fitting into.

1. My glass is half empty
2. My glass is half full
3. Some b*****d stole my damn glass

if you want 5.45x39 to work in 5.56 pmags reliably you take the follower out and take off the front anti tilt part of the follower.

[Steiner]

You're right. But 5.45 isn't significantly different from .223, performance wise. Without something to differentiate it from .223, it seems somewhat pointless.

That said, if we didn't face the Canadian price penalty for new production 5.45 (available in the US for under $0.30 a round), or had surplus 5.45 available for under $0.20 a round, I'd be all over one of these uppers.

Yes, my hope is we see some of the surplus 5.45 close to US pricing.

Regarding ammo

Build it and they will come

[Obokash]

I wouldn't say it's a novelty, there are lots of people who don't shoot surplus 7.62x39 through their rifles, they go with the hornady or the MFS etc. It boils down to what each person wants or needs this caliber for.

Agreed 100%

[Grumpy Wolverine]

These are going fairly fast and there is only a limited number on the first batch so if you're interested get your pre order in now.
