With the cheap ammo im seeing for 5.45x39 is it really worth it? I mean first question, any NJ legal?
If they are what should I go with? I have a WASR10 and am happy with it, only had 1 FTF after 4,000 rounds of not cleaning and constant abuse (constant bump firing) Was thinking the Wasr-2 for this. Or should I get a WASR3 (.223)? if they are legal that is. Your enlightenment is greatly appreciated

Im out of the loop as far as NJ legal AKs go. I would buy a cheap 5.45x39 AK and a bunch of 10 rounders to do some blasting for sure!
What can we have in NJ? |

Right now I have a WASR-10 in 7.62x39 but thats getting a little pricey at the moment. Im seeing 5.45x39 staying somewhat low thats why I might retire my 7.62 and use the 5.45. 15 rounds is max in NJ hehe. I think I have something like 20 15 round AK mags i made, very cheap mags. What is the mag price like for 5.45x39?

AK74 mags can be found for about $10 ea.
From what I've been told the 5.45x39 has a light recoil. I'd stock up on the ammo and get a locap wasr2. You could get a locap wasr2 and convert it yourself to hi-cap. |

again...545 is cheap today, but i wouldnt run out, buy 3 5.45 rifles, sell off your .223 and 7.62x39s and then complain a year from now when 5.45 is unavailable or 2-3x the current price.
surplus comes and goes, prices go up and down...dont bank on one caliber. |

Who said I was getting rid of my others, I kind of play the price game when shooting, what ever is cheaper the day Im about to go to the range i bring and order that same day.
One thing I wanted to do was get different AK variations. Always wanted an AK47 and AK74 type and am trying to fulfil that right now

not talking about you specifically..theres a thread like this in AK discussion...some guys want to ditch everything but their 74s cause ammo prices....that would be a foolish thing is what I am sayin, thats all  and yeah, more variants, the merrier

I find that the recoil is a little lighter in the 5.45 round compared to the .223.

All I know at the moment is that its a Norinco, dont know the condition or anything yet. I gave a list to my gun dealer and he calls me when one comes available and i drive up. We will see friday =)
He has the PSL available for $750 after taxes and shipping to his shop but that will take weeks. At the moment he has a price tag of $1120 after taxes and everything for the Norinco. At that price it doesnt seem like a good condition one or a mixed parts one. |
