2021年2月22日 · The biggest problem with 5.56 AKs is the magazines are expensive and they aren’t always compatible. There are 3 main 5.56 AK type magazines out there, being AK-101 type, Chinese 84S/BWK-92, and Romanian type with the AK-101 pattern being the most widely available now. The Russian AK-101, VEPR, Bulgarian stamped and milled rifles and the ...

2011年10月10日 · My thinking is that 5.56 will be more available than 5.45 in a SHTF situation, well that and I actually think the 5.56 is a good medium sized round for most situations. Also, what brands of AK well put together, I have heard good things about Saiga's but never used them, I have experience with mostly Norinco, but have have mixed things about them.

2008年12月18日 · Despite complaints that the 5.56 round lacks stopping power, others contend that animal studies of the wounding effects of the 5.56×45mm round versus the 7.62×39mm have found that the 5.56 mm round is more damaging, due to the post-impact behavior of the 5.56 mm projectile resulting in greater cavitation of soft tissues.[20]

2010年10月9日 · If anyone has studied the effects of all the various 5.56 specifically out of 14.5 and 16 inch barrels knows that it has far less desirable effects than a 20" barrel with the same round. Basically shooting 7n6 5.45 out of a 16" AK is equal, or better, than firing m855 out of a 14.5" or 16" carbine.

2016年6月8日 · 5.56 magazines for the AK-74 are available in high quality polymer and there is a company that makes magazine adapters, one which simply clips on like a magazine and allows AR-15 mags to be used, and a more expensive magazine adapter is permanently installed but the bonus to that one is you get a functional LRBHO that actually leaves the bolt ...

2012年1月12日 · AR15,.223/5.56, 14.5" barrel, 1 in 7 twist. 55 grain bulk pack Federal. I zeroed it at 50 yards. It is approx 1" high at 100 yards and approx 1" low at 200 yards. I can hit the 275 yard 12"x24" gong at the local range fairly easy without having to hold any vertical correction ( other than hold top 1/2 of the target ).

2010年2月1日 · In more urban and woodsy areas the lighter and longer ranging AR rifles and carbines allow for the easier carring of more gear and ammo. Even in open areas the 5.56 outranges the 7.62x39. I have examples of all three types and personally for my area would be more inclined to carry a CAR-15 varient.

2012年9月6日 · Polish Beryl 5.56 and Bulgarian 5.56 mags will run in the Saiga .223 with modest modifications. Personally I went with the Beryl mags because they don't require a bullet guide as long as you do not remove material from the top of mag or the locking tab causing a …

2008年12月12日 · The advantages of this rifle are its low recoil, and the ability to use the domestically manufactured 5.56*45 round. The glaring disadvantage of this rifle is the bad internals, unreliable magazines (unless they are Weiger), and some replacement parts may cannot be obtained and must be fashioned from AK-74 parts.

2020年10月16日 · Instead, I had a custom front-opening tactical vest sewn for 6 x AK magazines. This back in the early 1980s. 1-10 SFG(A), Bad Tölz, Germany. Over the decades, I carried a lot of stuff (besides 5.56 mags) in those three-mag M16 pouches, to include frag grenades, PDMs, E&E kits, PVS-14s, Pogey-Bait, and patrolling utility items.
