Just bought a Waffen Werks 74 :)

Just came in from Atlantic. Love the finish so far, but the wood is pretty flaky looking. I've always loved the all tactical black polymer furniture look. What are everyone's suggestions on doing her up? What do you run? Pics??

If you need to feed it these guys have some ammo left. They went through a couple containers.

Russian 5.45x39 1080rd Can

Is the 5.45x39 harder to get and more expensive than the 7.62?

not more expensive but possibly harder. Not a common item on the shelf at Walmart for sure.
I usually order from AIM surplus when they have it.

This gun was worth every penny imo. I sold 500rds of 5.56xm193 and in turn was able to buy 3240rds of 5.45!!!!

5.45 is "the poison" bullet. If you don't know what i'm talking about, just research it. I may not know a ton about aesthetics or accessorizing a lot of combat style long guns, but ballistics are something i know a lot about from college physics classes and a few classes in homeland security. That little 5.45 bullet will cause some massive internal damage. The reviews are 100% accurate.

Shot it at BGF yesterday and I LOVE IT! Absolutely no recoil and dead nuts accurate.
Cant wait until the ammo gets here.
Its def my SHTF long gun

5.45 comes in waves as they are imported. You can still find it available now online (use AmmoSeek or Gunbot) for about $.18 per round.

Thats such a huge plus to owning a 74 or 5.45 variant. When they become available again at a decent price, i'll def be picking up a 5.45 upper for one of my AR's.

Even though the 7n6 surplus ammo is corrosive, it only takes 10 more minutes of cleaning. Well worth it, plus, according to review, you can't get a better 5.45 round than 7n6 other than a match grade hornady

They have a Waffen Werks at BGF? That's pretty close to me. Haven't been there yet though

No... i went shooting there.

I ordered mine from atlantic
