Nowadays if you want to get into 5.45 your options aren’t that great. Arsenal imports have mostly ceased. And PSA only just brought out their 74 clone like two weeks ago.
I have 3 AK-74 weapons, and quite a number of sealed spam cans. But I also purchased a lot of Wolf 5.45x39 in 1000 round bundles and put them all in US 50 CAL ammo cans. I think it was kind of dumb for people to dump their AK-74's when 7N6 became unobtanium. I cared less about cheap ammo and focused on the collectible nature of the weapon, and the fact it was a reliable and robust system. I do wonder about the people who bought Smith & Wesson 5.45 M&P-15's ????
