    AK-74 5.45 Making A Come Back?

    Seems to be. Over at SG Ammo they have been getting a good supply of this ammo at a decent price.

    I can't get over how high the magazines are. Shit I remember the 9 buck new Bulgarians and the 3 buck East German Bakelites.

    I don't understand mag prices either. As far as I know there is no mag ban, so they should be boatloads available.

    I think it's due to 5.45 being the current issue. So the former commies aren't just dumping huge caches of mags every other day like 7.62x39 mags. So the demand for them is higher than the supply.

    As to it making a comeback, the demand never went away, but 7n6 went from being cheap and plentiful, to banned, limited supply, and expensive. Now that it's pretty well gone, the commercial brands are cranking it out to appease the demands. Just took them a while to catch up.
