I find it funny that the 5.45mm bullet on the left weighs less than the 5.56mm bullet on the right.
 
Nice Tantal. You don't quite have enough ammo, however. :neener:

Surplus 5.45 has a steel core. It contains only a tiny bit of lead, which makes it much longer. The stuff's corrosive, so don't forget to clean accordingly.
 
^^ I got it from Arms of America. It shipped really fast, too. I got it in less than a week.

^ Yeah, I clean it pretty religiously after a shoot.
 
Is it a Century build? If so, have you fired it yet? I'm curious about wether they've solved the keyholing problem they had with there Tantals.
 
Iheartboost, it is not a Century build and seems about as accurate as your average AR-15. Mine says "Ewbank Mfg." on the bottom of the receiver.
 
I've got one that is almost identical. It was built on an ArmoryUSA receiver. It doesn't like a lot of the polymer coated plastic mags which seem to be too thick for the rather slim magwell. The bake-lite hard plastic mags work great though.
Since your receiver is different, you likely won't have the same issue.

My only other issue is I have found I don't like the wire stock so much. I prefer the full stock.

Other than those minor issues, the gun shoots and functions great. It is as accurate as the sites will allow.
