Not meaning 7.62×39 but 7.62x51. 308 is actually a bit higher chamber pressure than 7.62x51, so the 7.62 is safe from a . 308 but not necessarily the other way around. While most 7.62 weapons can probably handle most . 308 ammo just fine, you should make some effort to make sure before using your particular combination.

Hi Adam and welcome. No Sir. Just .308 and 7.62x51 ammunition. 7.62x39 is a smaller round and won't properly fit the chamber. Details of size difference here : https://www.bearcreekarsenal.com/blog/762x39mm-vs-308-winchester-battle-of-the-cold-war-cartridges.html

Hi Adam, no this will not fire 7.62x39mm . It will fire 7.62x51 or .308 Stay safe & have a great day!

just 7.62x51 (nato) or .308 ammo 7.62x39 will not work
