Steel core 5.45×39 ammo has now been banned

Someone apparently built a pistol and submitted it for review to the ATF.

And this has been confirmed by Copes Distributing over on Arfcom so not a rumor. If you want steel core, you better get it before it is gone...

Edited to add that btw I thought 5.45 did not fall under the potential ban, but I am still reading.

I figure its only a matter of time before they ban .223/5.56 steel core because of all the AR-15 pistols out there. One person always tends to ruin it for people. Shame.

Really!?! I will believe it when it happens, heard these rumors before, hasn't happened yet.

I thought the steel core ban was for 22 caliber and above, but I could be wrong.

Either way you will still be able to get 5.45, just not cheap steel core.

Per the ATF you cant have an armor piercing "pistol" . which is why I have to spend an arm and a leg on 5.7x28 ammo that aint liberal downloaded. I dont but ANYTHING past the thought police.

The pistol submission part is still a rumor so who knows. I remember what happened to Olympic Arms when they got 7.62x30 banned so I'd hate to be the company that did this.

Someone is listening too closely to Mr. Yeager.

SGAmmo had some left, but I am assuming it is going quick since Copes did confirm it to be true.
