Will a SKS fire a .308 round safely and effectively ?
Comments
SKS =7.62x39mm
308 =7.62x51mm
Like the others have said the SKS rounds are .311 diameter and not .308.
Why would you ask?????
I've had ret. 'nam era marines tell me the same thing, so he's probably trying to get a real answer to what someone told him "they heard".
SKS=7.62x39mm
308=7.62x51mm
They are the same in one way but not in all ways. The replies have cleared this up. I have been told told this by some of the guys in my shooting club and they don't use 308 rounds in their 7.62x39s. So I needed a real answer from someone that knew some facts.
Thanks Guys
