7.62x39 to 5.45x39 conversion??

[GeoMann]

Does anyone know what's involved in changing Romanian G rifle (kit) from a 7.62x39 round to 5.45x39 round. Any info is greatly appreciated.

Nearly everything is different.

For one thing the ejector on a 7.62X39 is smaller than a 5.45X39. You would have to add substantially to the ejector. Not practical IMO

Thanks for the info guys..I just got a deal on a bunch of this ammo, and don't have a gun that shoots it, yet....

I'm with you there, I bought over 10,000 rounds of 5.45 cuz it's so cheap and don't even have a rifle for it yet. Never thought I'd see a day it was easier to buy a rifle than it is to buy ammo or even primers for that matter...........
