It was just a typo...45 to 54 instead of 51.

"But, while many Americans would strongly disagree, gun enthusiasts see this as a struggle not about the right to target-shooting or even hunting in the wild but a dispute in which something much more profound is at stake.
They believe the constitutional guarantee of the people's right to bear arms means that the balance of power between the government and the governed is different in America from anywhere else in the developed world."
The writer does not actually lay out what the 2nd A is actually for but he certainly is alluding to it. Sounds like he gets it. Perhaps he could instruct the members of our liberal press what the 2nd A is actually for. They need the instruction.

Not really sure about the Siaga AK. I've heard good things about them and the AK design is a good one for it's purpose.
Can't say if the extractor is different in them from any other AK type, but it won't matter to the .223 vs. 5.56 issue. The throat is the distance in the chamber from where the shoulder of the round stops against the metal of the barrel and where the rifling starts. It's shorter in .233 Remington. So if you load a 5.56 in a gun chambered for the .223 round the bullet might possibly be forced into the rifling. That could cause some seriously high pressures to develop. Not good.
In the gun chambered for 5.56 the worse that will happen is a decrease in accuracy as the bullet jumps a too wide gap before engaging the rifling. In a practical sense, I don't think it will matter much for everyday shooting. Definitely not in am AK rifle. They shoot real good and for a long time, but they are not known for their accuracy. ;)
