    has it really dried up? usually classic arms can find some for you (sometimes i think they forget to load it up for the shows occasionally) and then there's a couple of ammo dealers from tennessee who usually have some at the area shows (area = c and e gun shows). i got about 1,500 rounds in wolf and baikal not long ago, although i think the suppliers may be using 9/11 as a reason to run the prices back up a little. i haven't shot mine much, but i like it so far. also, interordnance may still have some NEW magazine sets (four 30-round bakelite mags, mag charger, stripper clips and rain camo pouch about $25-30 a set). i wouldn't dilly-dally if i wanted them, though.

(714)879-GRIP (no website).You oughta be able to find something with those!

    No, theres plenty. Pick up the latest issue of shotgun news, and order a case or so, its cheap to, don't forget that you'll have to pay an additional haz-mat fee, but it still wont be to much.

    the 5.45 is a little friendlier on the shoulder, and magazines are cheaper right now if you shop around (last glance there were a couple of sources of brand new magazine kits
