I was thinking of building an AR in 5.45 and was wondering if the bolt is the same as a 5.56. I have built several 5.56 rifles but the 5.45 ammo is so much cheaper to shoot. I saw in a recent thread about the extracters being the same. So is the bolt too?

nope, the 5.45's bolt face is opened up slightly from the 5.56's.
