I mean the barrel. I am curious to see what the varience is in barrel dimensions. I have heard they will range anywhere from .308 to .313. Do you know what your bore measurement is?
Also, if you could mention what type of rifle it is (i.e. Romanian, Chi-com, Russian....mini-thirty!?!):headbang: :ak47:

Mini-30s are .308. Billy Boy decided that anyone smart enough
to buy a real Ruger would also hand-load. I've heard that the
throat is longer so the bullet is swaged more slowly.

I, and others, have used .308 bullets in an AK with do
problem.
