which one is the AK-47 chambered for, and which one is the equivalent of .308 winchester?
And what about 7.62 NATO?

[Mike Irwin]

7.62x39 is the SKS/AK round.

7.62x51 is the equiv. of .308 Winchester. It is also the exact same thing as the 7.62 NATO round, just a different way of describing it.

[Gunner45]

7.62x39= AK47

7.62x51= .308 win (not exactly, but close engough to be interchangeable)

And on and on. .30 caliber is probably the most common firearm caliber in the world.

Don't make me go 7.62 on yo azz!

There's a book called Military Rifle and Machine Gun rounds. The list of 7.62 cartridges is QUITE extensive...

There's also the 7.62x63.

Know what that one is?
