I read a discussion on this recently on the Curio & Relics list. I think I remember it correctly -- but my apologies if I screw it up. The gist:

Be careful that these aren't 7.62 Cetme caliber (which was Spain's own caliber, similar to the 7.62 Nato, but not interchangeable with.) That's different and much less hot than the 7.62 NATO -- which shouldn't be shot in a 7.62 Cetme weapon.
