Strange place to find these and probably the best prices i have stumbled across so far....

Okay, the 5.45 upper is nice, but is making the magazines for it? I need more than just one mag..

[Magiccarpetrides]

you could probably use a .223 magazine for a 5.45 couldnt you?

They just take a different follower, based on what I've seen (Hero-Gear had one which I got a chance to inspect).

Correct, but you lose three rounds capacity unless you use a C-products 5.45x39 30 rd. magazine.

I have also heard that HK AR mags will hold 30 5.45 rds. but have no way to substantiate that.

[Guest Abominable_Hillbilly]

There's also the tipping issue if you use a 5.45 follower in a 5.56 mag. Lots of people are having problems with it, but seem to be able to work it out.

I, too, wouldn't have looked for an upper at ammunitiontogo. Their price on the upper is a bit high for me, though. Bud's Guns is getting $805.00 for a complete MP15R.

Yeah I just caught that too and they offer .01 shipping! Tempting...I dont know if I would rather have one of these or a Tantal.

[R1100R]

I have a Tantal and love it. I too am looking at that S & W upper.

[Guest jwp]

I was playing around with one of the S&W 5.45 guns we just got in earlier and I must admit I liked it.

I just got my MP15R upper from AIM on thursday. Haven't shot it, but looks good.
