Whats really sad is the 5.45 ammo went up $20 bucks per crate less than 10 days ago. RIGHT as I acquired my first AK-74.
But 5.45 is still the cheapest REAL ammo you are going to find, outside of .22... and AimSurplus is the cheapest distributor you are going to find for it.
It was only $20 bucks to ship a crate to my door here in Indy (2 spam cans / aprox 70lbs). Just slightly more than paying for tax if you bought it locally (which you probably won't find anyways).
