No, not a minutes worth. I had thought of obtaining a Huldra 5.45 upper for one of my AR lowers, but the price was too high when I can build one myself. Now that 5.45 7N6 ammo is on hold by Fedzilla, the cost savings over 5.56 is no longer part of the calculus. Besides, I have a nice Bulgy in 5.45 now.

The 14.5 inch 5.56 with Osprey Defense piston kit is an amazing tool. I may pull it out and clean it now just for the fun of it ... I have over 1000 rounds through it without cleaning it. No glitches yet, since I tuned the recoil spring. The cost of ammo has put a severe restriction on my shooting. I am a member of a nice rod and gun club (Unaka Rod & Gun) but have built a small range in my garage because my shooting is now down to 9 x 18 and .22lr, and I'm getting low on .22lr!
