I miss 5.45 from living in us. I will be in for a 5.45 xcr or cz!
Are these still available to be brought in?
Anyone who got one of these have some range targets of group sizes they'd like to post?
Either way it would be nice to have more firearms in 5.45 here. It's a neat caliber
I fell for it..... 2013 thread..... neat idea but reading the above info it seems there would be mag and feeding issues.

Even if it is a necro thread :D
Let's get down to brass tacks.
Can anyone else bring in surplus 5.45x39mm and how much would it cost in Canada?
I already had an XCR-L in 5.56mm. It was a good rifle.
I've shot 5.45mm in an AK74 and it's about the exact same as 5.56mm. At least there is no real tangible difference at all.
What is the point of having a 5.45mm Soviet caliber unless it's cheaper than readily available/common bulk non corrosive .223 Rem? If you can't get surplus 5.45mm for drastically less than $0.40 a round there is literally no point in this whole thing. Especially if we can't own AK74's.
Just my 2 cents.
Guns only have two natural enemies; politicians and rust.
I beleive it would/ should be about the same as 7.62x39
so yes cheaper than 5.56
HoweverI have no idea if that price would stay that away after import expense
