I've been tempted to buy a 5.45 X 39 MM AK, but I've held off. The main reason is few if any make domestic ammo for it. That means if Hussein signs a kings decree banning the importation of it, you'll pretty much have a useless rifle. I'm sure if that happened companies like Hornady and Federal would start manufacturing it, but it would most likely go for $1.00 a round, and that defeats the purpose of even having the damn thing in the first place.
