[QUOTE="joegrizzy, post: 3627129, member: 45524"] yeah imo people weren't buying 5.45 anymore because it was cheap. i mean, that's why i did back when you could score 1080 spammers of 7n6 for less than a hundo shipped and i assume everyone else. but recently? this surge is caused by younger people and/or people previously put off by the gun market and they don't want plastic ar's. to them this price and any future price doesn't seem absurd because they weren't around before, so the "wow, i 'member when it was cheap!" just sounds like old guys playing checkers to them. they just want an ak lol. seems to me newer gun owners care more about what a gun is or what is does related to another. i dunno, when i was buying ak's were pretty much ak's, didn't really matter where from, their price point was all about the same. i understand import bans from certain countries and companies means certain rifles will increase more than others, but dang if what i call the video gamification of firearms isn't occurring, especially among new buyers. places like the 4chan gun board *shudder* have tons of straight up children who are obsessed with "this gun is better than that gun". i guess it's not much different than the old "9mm isn't enough" arguments we used to have on here, but dang those flingfests didn't seem to affect the market as much. long story short, i think 5.45 will find a place as a desired cartridge for people who know they can afford it; which won't hurt its value imo.
