More bang for the buck
We’re still waiting to get feedback from our operators to see how well this upper holds up over time. I don’t believe they’ve been on the market long enough to get combat worthy reports yet, but we shall see. There seems to be a dry spell on finding a good AK in 5.45×39 and the AR15 Upper may be your best option. The Upper comes in an flat top configuration and will be a great secondary or primary weapon to keep around.
The S&W 5.45×39 is probable the most financially useful upper you can get. There are pistol caliber uppers you can get that are also not very expensive, but the 5.45×39 rifle ballistics are far superior in energy and lack of over-penetration compared to pistol caliber variants. Smith & Wesson 5.45 Upper Most of the 5.45×39 may not be using this gun for home defense, but it is something to think about and there is absolutely nothing wrong with using this caliber for home defense. The Smith & Wesson 5.45×39 upper comes with 1-30rd mag Item # SW812005
I’ve spent enough time on the internet gun boards to hear all of the squabbling about the Mini 14 Ranch rifles. The short answer on Mini 14 accuracy is this, they are good for what they were originally intended to be used for, and that was to be used for “a few quick shots”. The Mini 14 Ranch rifle is highly recommended for those in Coyote Country or for varmint hunting. They are light and can easily accomodate 30-40mm rifle optics. While we are aware that the .223 has long range capablilities, I highly recommend something in the 3-9×40 power. You can the wider objective and some amount of magnification.
Sturm, Ruger & Company was founded by William B. Ruger and Alexander McCormick Sturm in 1949 in a small rented machine shop in Southport, Connecticut. Just prior to their partnership, Bill Ruger had successfully duplicated two Baby Nambu pistols in his garage, from a captured Nambu that he acquired from a returning US Marine, at the close of WWII. Although deciding against marketing the Nambu pistols, he incorporated the Nambu’s rear style cocking device and a modified Nambu’s silhouette into their first commercially produced .22 caliber pistol, which became so successful that it launched the entire company. Ruger firearms are the nation’s fourth largest firearms manufacturer, and the only one producing firearms in all four market segments: rifles, shotguns, pistols, and revolvers.
