Is anyone making a 5.45X39 upper for an AR? Its about the cheapest ammo around now.

Thanks!

Nothing off the shelf.  
Just custom jobs.
People reporting various results.
I had one done by a friend from a chrome lined Bulgarian AK74 barrel and so far it runs great.  In full auto also as I'm using a RDIAS.
I only had about 100 rounds of the ammo that a friend gave me as I wasn't going to buy it if I couldn't use it.  I've got several cases coming today though.

I also plan on trying it with my Ares Gas Piston kit at a later point also.

Here is a pic of mine.

TALO Inc is going to be making S&W Rifles in 5.45  and they are also going to be making uppers available too. I am unsure fo the manufacturer of the upper but am trying to find out.
