5.45x39 surplus ammo in Canada

[dragansrbin]

I know its been asked before, but any chance of getting 5.45x39 into Canada, and not the current 1.25$ a bullet, but crate style, 20-30-40 cent a round.
had the opportunity to buy a AR upper chambered in this caliber and don't want to pay more to feed it than my 8MM Mauser.

I'm sure it would be easy to import but there isn't a huge demand for the round. Where did you get a 5.45x39 AR?

Wolverine has the 50 round boxes of hornady steel cased for 22.50 a box...

got a barrel and the bolt at a gun show, relatively cheap, just need to buy the stripped upper and assemble it, since everything else is the same.

and I know that the demand for 5.45x39 is smaller than the demand for "elephant farts in a can" but would like to see it for sale,
since norc .223 is off the table need something similar

Various Ak74 platforms
Some XCR
Some AR15
Some ACR

S&W upper?

[czechsanchez]

lol@ the people sayings AK74,

I think the guy was asking wtf is legal in Canada that would even fire it.

Tavor... oh, wait. Axed!

If we could push Wolverine to produce a 5.45x39 958, it could be viable.

 

[dragansrbin]

tavor conversion was a dream shot down,
maybe something will come up in the near future, since there is surplus available and seems relatively cheap.

maybe one day

I know this is an old thread but would anyone here be interested in an AR-15 bolt/barrel combo in 5.45x39 with mags for the caliber as well? Here's the link to the thread: https://www.canadiangunnutz.com/for...mbo-and-mags-for-building-an-AR-15-in-5-45x39

Would love to see some surplus 5.45x39 show up. Especially since these bolt/barrel combos are a possibility.
