Obviously there’s no significant market for this specific type of ammunition here in Canada.

Been able to pickup some in the last couple of years at gun shows and auctions, merely for collecting purposes.

Oh man 5.45 is so rare. Wish I had some. Nice find!

Bullseye North I think had it a couple months back if you're just looking to collect ammo of unique calibers, boxes weren't outrageously expensive (brass cased 20rd boxes). Seen it on one or two other sites as well in the last year.

For ammo collecting I prefer military surplus due to lineage. I doubt anything is coming from russia anytime soon. Thanks though.
