I know all the fuss going around about how 5.45x39mm is drying up.
First off, is this true? I know most of the current surplus is from the 70's. I imagine that the good ole ruskies have imported(but in customs) surplus from the 80's and such. Not to mention other countries produced 5.45 and have now stopped using it.(Poland, e. German, Bulgarian). I wonder if there surplus is in customs waiting to be imported. and not to mention Russia still uses this caliber as their main round.
Now we all know brown bear makes commercial ammo as well as tula/wolf(who makes the military ammo anyways) but will an american company ever make 5.45? It seems to me that it is a very popular cartridge as of now.
I can't imagine it will just die off when the surplus runs out...
Whats the story morning glory(lol)?
