Jaxis 6 Posted February 6, 2014 (edited) anybody wonder why the mosin ammo I listed as 7.62x51 and not 7.62x54R? Edited February 7, 2014 by Jaxis Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Johnny Depth 167 Posted February 6, 2014 My SKS uses 7.62x39 or something like that. I'm going to take it over to Berezino tonight after the gym and bother some people :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TG ! Jimmy 216 Posted February 6, 2014 anybody wonder why the mosin ammo I listed as 7.62x51 and now 7.62x54R? Mosin ammo (IRL) is 7.62x54R. It was improperly named until this point. The x54R variant of 7.62 is a much older cartridge. .308win/7.62NATO = 7.62x517.62 (AK-47) = 7.62x397.62 (Dragunov/Mosin) = 7.62x54R 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cannibal_Barbie 0 Posted February 6, 2014 Because it is 7.62x54r. Just a typo correction I guess. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IkaikaKekai 1957 Posted February 6, 2014 Yeah, Mosin uses 54R, not NATO. It's been like that for a while and some of the gun enthusiasts (rightly) bitched about it and it probably now just got changed. 51 will probably come back in later on, was probably just a mixup with the models and wasn't fixed till now.
