5.45x39 upper
it hurts to post this for me,
but I need an intervention http://toeas.com/smiley/files/2011/0...g-smiley-2.gif If its in stock tomorrow, I will buy one, Adams Arms 5.45x39 MOE upper $669 + Tax |
Damnit, I really don't want to spend more money right now but there is such a big difference between the price of steel .223 and 5.45 ammo.....how good a deal is this particular upper?
|
I wouldn't want to deal with corrosive ammo

Yeah I haven't dealt with it either so I can't say much, just from what I've heard it's not worth it.
But ammo being so cheap in 5.45 it's oh so temtpting. I also hear that 5.45x39 is cheap right now because the surplus supply but once that's gone it'll be a more expensive round and become rare? |
I don't think my wife is going to like me this week. Please sell out before I get home.....
|
good price. paid 615 at rainier, but they dont carry it anymore from what I can tell.
runs great. company claims upper is prepared for the ammo issues. comes with hammer spring. I cicnt use it and have had 2 rounds not fire out of 500, but it was the ammo, because the primer is always deeply hit and my AK74 wouldnt pop them either. great answer to my expensive ammo blues |

AA's barrels will last you a lot more than 2,000 rounds. |
Seems like a lot of money. I just put together my own for a lot less. Although the black Friday deals are all gone by now.
You only need the bolt & the barrel to just convert an upper you already have - Red X Arms had the complete BCG for $115, and I picked up a barrel from SOTA Arms for $109. Upper $83 BCG $115 Barrel $109 Free Float Tube $40 Gas Tube $10 Gas Block $17 Flash Hider $6 Complete 5.45x39 upper for $380 --- |

That is a darn good price. I paid $720 for mine back in August.

5 in stock. Very tempting.

5.45x39 is the only AR I take out of the safe these days. Thousands of rounds and no FUD Corrosive issues.
Such a great round at a cheap price to shoot. I chronograph-ed 5.56 and 5.45 and the 5.45 was about 200 fps faster. Yes its a LITTLE smaller but it feels the same shooting it through a AR. Love the round. |
BTW the latest windowed Pmags for 5.56 will work with this round. Just a heads up.
|
Anybody ever heard of these guys? They seem to have uppers in stock (gas system) for $460

Yes Ive heard bad stuff about Model one. It would be better off to order from the listed links about and build one for under 400.00

TBH, it's only been sitting in the safe :o The AR was completed in a rush in preparation for AB374 becoming law. I've been too busy with my AKs to even take it out to the range. Quote:
When you are out of state, does it take 28 rounds or 30? Did you have to cut the follower leg? |
I bought one, had a stripped lower sitting around. Didn't want to build another AR in the same caliber. So I'll give 5.45 a try.

I didnt have to trim anything. I dont know how many rounds they hold because I blocked em at 10. I know the non windowed you have to trim and play with. The windowed ones are just load em up and shoot. Its like they were made for the round. If anyone has any questions let me know. Ive shot maybe 4k through it. |
I did not see that the OP's was a piston upper - for the price listed it is a good deal.
|
I have the LWRC piston 5.45 upper and I love it. A little pricey but the quality is top notch

Both the gen2 windowed and non windowed work fine with 10 rounds. If you want to run more the gen2 windowed is your best bet. You will have to tinker with the follower and you should be able to load 28 + 1. (If you leave Ca of course) I run a huldra gas piston 5.45 and another custom I think a voodoo barrel in 7.62x39. I only use corrosive ammo. The only issue I have encountered is light strikes. I just cycle them again without an issue. Several fixes for that also.
|
I just said screw it and bought a AK74. I am good.
|
Next build for sure :)
|
Damn. SOTA 5.45 barrels are sold out. I procrastinated to long. Oh well. Ballistic advantage barrel will be here Jan 2nd.

Does anyone else make a decent 5.45 barrel that is cheap? |

For my build I didn't go with a front sight, I threw a red dot on it. Going for something like this only mid-ength: http://mrgrouchy.com/wp-content/uplo...1/12/JP-15.jpg |
Glad your barrel looks good. Mine from them looked like ****, I even made a thread about it. Very disappoint.

If any of you guys in So Cal have one of these, where do you shoot surplus? When I checked the BLM site, it said no steel core in the California Desert District, which looked like it covered Hodge.
