Was the SKS ever made in 7.62x54R?
- WHY!?!?!?!? The SKS was built BECAUSE the Red Army needed a rifle to field the new intermediate round. Why on earth would they make their brand new design to FIRE the caliber they're trying to replace (as a main battle cartridge). MoviePropMaster2008
- I'm pretty sure it wasn't. If you're looking for a Soviet automatic rifle in 7.62x54R, then wouldn't that be the SVT-40? --funkychinaman 18:49, 20 August 2010 (UTC)
- Only ever made in 7.62 x 39mm. There was a Simonov-designed rifle in 7.62 x 54mm called the AVS-36, but it was very different from the SKS. - Nyles
