I made it a dedicated 5.45 AR so I could shoot all of the corrosive ammo I wanted out of the lower and not have to worry about possibly ruining all of the fun for my other upper.

As far as mags, you can just use the USGI steel mags (green followers) and load 28 rounds in them, or you can order 5.45 AR mags. I just ordered two 5.45 AR-Stoner mags from midway (http://www.midwayusa.com/viewProduct/?p ... ber=250661" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;) and they function flawlessly.
I was blown away by this AR, now i am a fan boy.
On the mags,. I'm guessing since you aren't having problems with USGI mags then my magpuls should work just fine then.
Yea,.. i'm definitely going to build a 5.45 AR!
I too was under the impression that 5.45 ammo is super cheap compared to 5.56... but that is not exactly true.
http://www.ammoengine.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; is a great resource.
The cheapest 5.56 rounds on the market are about .20 cents a round.
The cheapest 5.45 ammo on the market is about .13 cents a round. However, that's the corrosive stuff out of a tin.
The average price for 5.45 ammo is around .22 cents a round just like the 5.56.
I thought about getting a conversion for my rifle to allow it to fire 5.45 ammo... but it would cost 500 dollars.
It makes a lot more sense financially to just spend that 500 on more 5.56 ammo.
This is a common misconception. You don't need windex to neutralize corrosive salts. My AK 74 has had thousands of rounds through it and I have never used windex. I have forgotten to clean it before for a weekCobalt-60 wrote:Corrosive ammo is nothing to be afraid of, just use a little windex when you clean and you should be fine.
