[QUOTE="AguaFriaRanger, post: 3627164, member: 48527"] There is enough demand for PSA to make a line of 5.45 rifles nearly a decade after the 7n6 ban. I won't argue that there isn't a -huge- demand for 5.45 but economies of scale are a thing. 5.56 is relatively cheap (past 18 months notwithstanding) because the supply and demand are always relatively balanced. 5.56 isn't cheap because of the demand alone, but the supply as well. Once demand is large enough (and for 5.45 I believe it is) the market is a large-scale market and investment can be justified, yadda yadda. Even if 5.45 is only a 1-2 million rounds per year market, that is still a fair amount of money to be made and someone will do it. I don't see it stabilizing at a price that is more than 5.56's price plus 5-10 cpr at most. [/QUOTE]
