Where to get 5.45x39 barrel and bolt

[Bret]

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.

What about a wall, with a small opening as a doorway, some windows, and little turrets- like a little fort made entirely of stacked tins of ammo?

I thought you didn’t like 5.45 anymore? I, myself, do have a huge stockpile of 7n6. I have a love-hate relationship with 5.45.

Nothing is left but indoor ranges and they won't let me use that ammo.

Here's 5.45x39 copper jacket.

Problem solved. I'm sure you could get good money for that 7n6. Think of it as rotating your inventory.
