7.62x39 to 5.45x39 conversion??
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
