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?

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? Last edited by Teeko; 12-09-2013 at 2:57 AM.. |

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

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 --- Last edited by bill_k_lopez; 12-09-2013 at 7:35 AM.. |

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.

It is a piston upper. Nicely built and the parts felt solid. Does Adams Arms make a non-piston upper?
TBH, it's only been sitting in the safe 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? Last edited by beanz2; 12-09-2013 at 3:30 PM.. Reason: added questions to Deadon |

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.

Just to clarify since you didn't mention the specific caliber.......you're saying non-windowed .223 30rnd M2 MOE PMAG's work on 5.45x39 without modification?

Yes I use them for both 5.56 and 5.45. They feed fine with zero issues. This is only loading 10 rounds though as I mentioned since they are blocked.

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.

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

I got the SOTA barrel, it came in on Monday, looks good. I don't know who, or if anyone makes 'decent inexpensive 5.45 barrel' but if I could find Spike's I'd buy it. Their barrels are around $250 and you only gotta buy it once, as Spike's will replace it, should you shoot 10,000 rounds through it and it's no longer accurate.

Glad your barrel looks good. Mine from them looked like ****, I even made a thread about it. Very disappoint.
