I would like some websites that I can buy from and also some LGS that may have some in stock. I would like to know if anyone knows about these http://www.atlanticfirearms.com/storeproduct911.aspx
You should really post this question as a new topic and use this thread to help craft a good question.

With that said ... I would be skeptical of any US made 5.45 barrel. There just seems to be too many problems with them overall. Yes, there are some good ones out there, but I wouldn't risk it. That's just me though.

For a '74 I would try to find something like a WASR-2. They are actually pretty good for their price.
