I really wish there was more support for 5.45 on the U.S. market. I’ve always wanted an AK-74 because I think they’re neat but buying a 5.45 AK is just such a bad idea. You’re basically stuck between hornady black which costs 60 cents a round and you can’t shoot it at indoor ranges, 50 year old Soviet surplus which corrodes your gun, and that TelAmmo shit from Azerbaijan that only Atlantic firearms sells. Options for the actual guns are more limited too. Palmetto makes a 74, but their AK QC is a nightmare, so if you want something good you’ll either want a WBP or a kit build - which you’ll only find regularly in stock with Atlantic.
5.56 AKs are a pretty good substitute, but they’re just not the same man
