Who's done this? I've been reading up this for the past few hours and I'm convinced I'd like to do this but I don't know whether to get a 5.45 or 5.56 receiver. I'm leaning toward the 5.45 receiver.
Anyway, here's the parts list I believe I'll need:
74 Kit (http://www.k-var.com/shop/BP-AK74.html)
5.56 barrel (https://www.apexgunparts.com/product_info.php/cPath/21_79/products_id/3073)
And of course a NoDak receiver and some 5.56 mags.
I hear the 5.45 bolt will work on the 5.56 cartridge with some work on the extractor so that's all right. What am I missing?
ETA: I figured I would mention I'm invested in the 5.56 caliber so I don't get any "why not 5.45" replies.
