I don't see them anywhere on the site - already sold out? If not, how much do they cost? Another place that has them for pre-sale says you can use 30-rd AR15 mags and just put 27 5.45 rounds in them - is this true? Thanks!

Have to call them, C-Products is making mags for them.

Can you give me some idea of what the upper will cost?

Posted: 3/30/2008 4:56:48 PM EDT

[#11]

$569.95 with one mag

Posted: 4/1/2008 11:38:26 AM EDT

[#12]

Time frame for these? And if ordered, when is payment debited?

Posted: 4/1/2008 12:41:33 PM EDT

[#13]

they are two weeks out, we don't charge until it ships

I thought it came with 2 magazines?

Posted: 4/2/2008 4:25:17 AM EDT

[#15]

it changed to one, we are going to try to get extra followers though

Posted: 4/2/2008 6:16:53 AM EDT

[#16]

do the followers allow you to "convert" your standard mags to use the 5.45 reliably? If so, how can I add about a a half dozen to my preorder?

Posted: 4/3/2008 11:59:50 AM EDT

[#17]

yes, but I am waiting on a price and availability,

Posted: 4/3/2008 7:31:43 PM EDT

[#18]

Just reserving a spot to stay in my active topics and seriously considering giving you a call.

You got two kidneys right?

Posted: 4/6/2008 1:33:35 PM EDT

[#23]

you really only need one kidney, the other one is just overkill

Any updates on the arrival / exact specs and pricing?

Posted: 4/10/2008 5:18:10 AM EDT

[#27]

Posted: 4/10/2008 10:59:00 AM EDT

[#28]

Sweet,
I cant wait to get my hands on the one I pre-ordered.

Any update on the extra followers for converting GI mags to take the 5.45 round??

Posted: 4/10/2008 1:04:22 PM EDT

[#29]

Just put my spot in on the wait list.

Any info on how many you should be getting vs how many on order?

Posted: 4/14/2008 11:21:26 AM EDT

[#30]

Bryan,
any update on the 5.45 uppers? I read in CProducts forum that the mags are about 3 weeks out, due to follower changes, I'm guessing this is going to delay shipment

Posted: 4/15/2008 4:12:28 AM EDT

[#31]

Should you use standard carbine buffers with 5.45?

thanx

Posted: 4/15/2008 4:41:43 AM EDT

[#32]

std carbine buffer is being used, i know C products is waiting on followers, but i not sure what Smith is using initially, i will check

Posted: 4/18/2008 7:16:06 AM EDT

[#33]

Any updates on arrival? Are we still looking to ship out to customers next week?

Posted: 4/18/2008 3:10:42 PM EDT

[#34]

i made some calls but i won't know till Monday

Posted: 4/18/2008 4:28:54 PM EDT

[#35]

How is the supply of surplus 5.45 looking for the future?

Posted: 4/19/2008 9:16:07 AM EDT

[#36]

its been running about $125 per tin (1080), and the shows don't exhibit any signs of dwindling stock.

Cool, let us know when you can, please.

Posted: 4/25/2008 4:25:11 PM EDT

[#38]

Heard on another board that it was going to be moved backto the 12th because of mags

Posted: 4/25/2008 4:37:38 PM EDT

[#39]

So CProducts is the mag supplier for the entire distribution list?

Possibly gonna be dealer delays on extra mags then, too.

Posted: 4/28/2008 12:10:03 PM EDT

[#40]

Any update on shipping timeframe?

Posted: 4/28/2008 12:30:45 PM EDT

[#41]

if C products is correct they are two weeks out

Did you ever hear anything else on the shipment?

Posted: 4/28/2008 2:19:42 PM EDT

[#43]

Does anyone know if Hk mags work?

Posted: 4/29/2008 10:35:58 AM EDT

[#44]

Does the Pmag work with 5.45? I noticed 5.45 tends to hang on the rear groove of GI mags.

HELL no.

Hk mags will hold different amounts, as will hks with 6.8 followers. Ar with 6.8 follower tend to hold more, regular ar get about 7-15 depending on followers. 6.8 mags are supposed to feed well, but I have not tried. Also Cproducts says this will be a new magazine with an additional rib to hold the round. That means the follower may or may not work as a stand alone upgrade. Mags will cost over 20$ each. Found that last gem in the cproducts forum here.

Any updates??

Can someone post the link to reserve an upper ??

thanks,

Well at paying $20 per mag, that is still less than paid for used GI mags during the Bad 'Ol Days of the AWB.

I guess we get spoiled when prices are $13 for New GI 30 with MagPull follower and such!

Estimated price?

The price will be $17.95.

at $18 bucks a pop, I'll pick up probably 6 or so after I see how the 5.45 upper runs in full auto.
