I have one... yup... 7.62 X 45... harder to get ammo for...

there used to be chamber inserts that would allow you to shoot 7.62 X 39 ammo...

if the one you're looking at is complete, that's good, as parts are getting harder to come by, & magazine tough as well

you can convert some other cartridges to 7.62 X 45... my father in law had some stuff made up to convert 220 swift, after rims were turned down case length adjusted, they can be formed, & would shoot the same .311 bullets as the "X 39" version

BTW... if anyone knows where to get the chamber inserts I've been thinking about getting one myself, just to make the gun more shootable
