I'm sort of in a different situation. When I got my 52 I ordered a bunch of 7.62x45 ammo for it only to later find out that it has the 7.62x39 chamber insert. I'd shoot 39 through it I guess hoping that the insert comes out as they often do. The thing is that x39 does not work all that reliably from x45 mags, and x39 mags are not easy to find and can get pricey.

So, the gun sits unfired in my gun vault.
