When I contacted the main UK ammo importers they all said there was next to no chance of them bringing in 5.45 as there is zero demand......unless I wanted tens of thousands of rounds.

Would 300 BLK not be better ammo supply-wise if you are rebarreling?.

Sorry-but no....300blk is just like 7.62x39.I wanted something new-and different.And 5.45 recoil is much less then 5.56 8-)

Hardly call 5.45 new......good luck finding a regular supply of ammo :good:

Prvi Partizan list 5.45x39 cases on their website (that said even the Yanks are struggling to find reloadable 5.45 cases), but no bullets and I would imagine dies would be expense......bullets would probably have to be custom swaged.Seems like a lot of effort just to have something different that you may not be able to shoot much.

Just got 1K of 5.45*39 for £.215 to feed my 74 . Used to be £.185 ...Sod Brexit new Fx :twisted: Couldn't you go & buy 5.45*39 in PLN or CR and drive it back if you have the slot on your FAC and a European Firearms Passport ? I dont know , just asking if someone has the answer ?

Yes Froggy-maybe it will end this way as I stated-private import.But this is not a worry for the next 2 years.After this...who knows,maybe Russians will land here with own supply chain :D ???

I wasn't trying to put a downer on it mate, just saying that when I looked at going done the 5.45 route it was more hassle than it was worth......respect to you if it all comes together :good:
