Adams Arms is pleased to announce a new product in its line of conversion kits .... a corrosive resistant 5.45x39 Conversion Kit!!!!
Adams Arms now has a 5.45x39 Conversion Kit that allows any AR 15 owner to convert the caliber of their AR upper to the cost effective 5.45x39 Russian round and get the added bonus of being corrosive resistant. 
Available for only $379 you can convert your upper and save yourself a ton of money on ammo. These kits include:
The properties of melonite make it more corrosive resistant than hard chrome allowing you to run corrosive mil-surp ammo without fear of having reliability issues. This conversion gives you this reliability and will save you enough money the first time you go to the range that it will pay for itself. Right now you can find a case (over 2,000 rounds) of 5.45x39 for about $260. Now compare that to current ammo prices where you pay anywhere between $300 and $600 for only 1,000 round of 5.56 and you'll realize you’re getting ammo for HALF THE PRICE!!!! Capable of being used by both piston driven and direct impingement ARs this would be a great addition to anyone's upper. Whether you need a good range plinker or something to use for training that eases the budget, $379 is all it will take to get you a reliable AR that will actually save you money. These kits are available through the dealers listed below.

Absolutely we are making these parts into a complete upper. There is another thread on here and our industry page announcing our 5.45x39 Corrosive resistant upper. Thanks, I looked it up. I realize it's kind of a specialty item right now. I'll definitely be in to buy one when they become a little more mainstream. |

Thanks Jerry, but I'm talking about what is shown on this thread:
Available for only $379 you can convert your upper and save yourself a ton of money on ammo. These kits include: A 16" carbine melonited barrel with a 1:8 twist A melonited flash hider A Wolff extra power hammer spring A 30 round magazine An ionbonded 5.45x39 right handed bolt ============================= I already have a couple 5.45 uppers but want the kit for $379 that includes the barrel and bolt. Cheers. |

Hopefully John Humphrey or one of the other great people at AA will answer your question. Jerry |

I'll try to answer all the questions that have been unanswered, if one is missed let us know. The barrel extent is melonited along with the rest of the barrel and the gas port was drilled after the meloniting process. The shoulder is a blank (no dimples or flats) so anyone can drill and pin a gas block, where ever it is needed, or use a clamp on style like the ones we sell with our retro fit system. Right now conversion kit only going to be offered in the configuration listed above. We may do some other variations down the road (i.e. different barrel lengths and configurations, possible muzzle brake, etc) but we don't exactly know when. The dealers will be getting information on these conversions soon. Hopefully none of the questions were missed. |

Except for the "Is the gas port drilled... was it drilled before the melonite or after" question. It does not appear to be drilled in the above photo. |

Quoted: I'd like to see this with a front sight tower pinned in place so it's ready to go for those of us who don't want/need a railed forend. Thanks for offering these. As a conversion kit this package is a clean slate of paper you can make it whatever you want. You can use our piston system, you can set it up as a direct impingement or park it in your safe for a rainy day. Thanks Jim |

Thanks Jim still confused... will you be making the gas block as a pinned sight tree type thing or sticking to the railed gas block you have now? Edit to add... thought we were talking about the piston kit. my bad. i get it now. maybee openbolt was confused on that too. this kit is a stripped barrel and the other bits you need to build a direct gas 5.45 upper. BTW... about when will we see the mid length barrel? |

it uses 5.45 AR-15 mags.
as far as i know c-prod is the only manufacturer. some people have used rev-m pmags and lancers and standard gi mags, but loading more than 15 rounds = trouble 87gn makes an upgraded follower that supposedly works better but reduces capacity to 28 rounds. i am ordering a few and will post my thoughts when i know more. wander around this forum and you will find everything you need to know. |

... It does not appear to be drilled in the above photo. The barrel is drilled in the top photo. You can see it in the the lengthwise shadow in the middle of the barrel if you change your internet display settings (menu item View, Zoom, select 150% or 200%) and you'll see it. You can also hold down the Ctrl button on keyboard and roll the scroll wheel on your mouse. |
