    Where to get 5.45x39 barrel and bolt

    I realize that I'm a little late to the game, but I want to assemble a 5.45x39 AR15. In addition to my 5.56x45 chambered AR15's, I also have built 7.62x39 and 6.5 Grendel. I purchased a 5.45x39 marked lower receiver and was lucky enough to have an upper receiver that's virtually a perfect finish match to it. I did some searching, but can't find a barrel and bolt. Any ideas where I can get them?

    Rubber city has bolts.

    Barrels are pretty far and few .

    Do NOT get a nitrided barrel if you can avoid it. It doesn't play well with Wolf/Tula/whatever steel-cased ammo and extraction (unless you're fond of beating spent cases out of your chamber).

    Thanks for the tip. I wouldn't have known that.

    I think M&A Parts has complete uppers and I believe Green Mountain Barrels has barrels. Edit: Looks like maybe just the barrel blanks. Edit: https://www.brownells.com/rifle-part...prod64583.aspx

    one of my best groupers ever in 5.56 is a Voodoo 16" gov't profile.

    I don't recommend it. As someone who burned thru 2 5.45 bbls it's not worth it anymore. Unless you have a stack of 7n6 spam cans somewhere.

    I wouldn't shoot it enough to burn through a barrel. I'd just like to have it in my collection to go along with all the other AR15 chamberings that I have.

    There are currently a few DI uppers for sale on GunBroker.

    Adams Arms also still has piston uppers available, and on sale:

    Just curious, how many rounds did it take.
