5.45x39 platform

[Wulf202]

You don't need 20" for a DMR, a 16" will do just fine. Zak smith has an awesome rant about the DMR concept.

it's more about the look lol i have enough 16" ak's for now

It's all about vanity for you, huh?

I've got two Bulgy 74's and love them! My daughter's a really good shot with them.

I might be interested in splitting some cases of 5.45 ammo with someone...

Would really like to get a nice folder or AR-style in the 5.45 platform.

If you're going AR style, just by an upper for your AR.
You should be buying cases (if funds allow) not splitting them.
Did you know some folks consider 6K of ammo to be a lot??

I don't have an AR yet.

Yes, I know about the cases, I've got over 6K already, just don't have the funds right now to buy another 4-6K, I've got medical bills up to my ears.

I'd rather get my first AR in the 5.45 platform, not 5.56 and then later add the 5.56 upper... I know, it's backwards, but that's the way I see it happening.

But as I said, I've got many bills to pay first.

I'd like to build a 5.45 AR too I need to find one of those ar47 lowers they used to make so I could use my east German bakies lol

I hear you there i'm stuck on 1/4ish since this accident 2 years ago.

That's how I did it. I bought my first Bulgy AK74 about three years ago and liked the caliber so much I built an AR using the S&W 5.45 upper. Shoots like a charm, and cheaply too.

As for ammo, I've also got more than 6k rounds but it just never seems like enough.... to practice, get good, and still have enough leftover to have a healthy supply requires far more money than I've got!
