In 2019, the AK-74 in 5.45x39mm remains a viable and enjoyable option, offering low felt recoil and higher velocity than 7.62x39mm. While ammunition costs have risen due to ATF reclassification of surplus rounds, 5.45x39mm remains more affordable than 5.56x45mm NATO. Magazines are still relatively available and affordable, especially compared to less common calibers. The platform benefits from parts commonality with AKM variants, ensuring future parts availability.
