[ARCHIVED THREAD] - ammunition question

Posted: 10/31/2007 3:43:40 PM EDT

Hey Guys -

Been awol for a couple of weeks. Still waiting for Sully over at Defensive Edge to tell me my SLR15 commander has shipped. Hopefully soon he

I saw on a website ammuntion of 5.45x39 vs 5.56x45 (the latter is what I'm used to seeing). What is the difference between these two and can I shoot the 5.45x39? The 5.45 is .004 inches smaller in diameter.

Thanks for the help. Dazed and confused (again)

Joe

Uh NO

5.45x39 is for the AK-74

What he said. It sure would be nice, though, since the 5.45 is going for about $125/1000, as opposed to .223, which is 3-4 times that.

Even if you could, it would be interesting too see how AR would do with corrosive ammo.

All surplus 5.45 is corrosive.
