can you elaborate?

they shoot 7.62 x 39? or 7.62 x 54?

are there any modifications needed to shoot a 7.62 round from a .308 weapon?

thank ya :)

7.62x51 It's the same diameter, but .308 usually has a higher load. All 7.62x51 is safe to shoot from any properly functioning .308. Also, .308 can be chambered and fired in a 7.62, but it may not be safe because of the stronger load.

awesome!

for clarity, though, it appears your last sentence may need reversing.

(or first sentence)

(or im failing at reading comprehension-- im gathering that 308 is the hotter load, and 7.62x51 rifle might be unsafe firing 308 ammo)

either way, thanks for the elaboration :) I will do further research before trying anything fucky, but i've been wanting a 308 for a while.
