How hard would it be to convert this rifle to 5.45 russian?

Anyone know?

5.56x45 to 5.45x39? It would be easier to go the other way around since the 5.45 is shorter and a smaller caliber. To convert you'd need a custom bbl/chamber. Easier to do on the AR as the "Ghenghis" upper is available in 5.45x39.

Ah, as I figured. And as AR-180Bs are so rare still, there is not really a market for someone doing such conversions on them, I'll bet.

Well...capitalism would say that there's always someone willing to do custom work for you, if you shill out enough $$$, but...;)
