5.45 X 39?

That was interesting. I also thought that 7.62x39 would eventually dry up and be replaced by 5.45x39 - guess not.

I'll bet there is more 7.62x39 being cranked out right now then 5.45. Just a guess but I think its a good one.

if we could get a supply of the surplus the uppers/full rifles from s&w would get some attention

They still use the cartridge. What you see is cycled out military old stock which will be continue to be cycled out for a long, long time to come.

IT is being used now at a much faster rate than ever before. We will run out of surplus X39 within 10 years, likely before.

I'm thinking to get S&W AR 15 in that caliber...
