I believe that the Argentine Navy "308"/7.62x51 Nato rifles were converted from the original Argentine 7.65x53mm, not the Venezualan 7x57mm.... I have owned both rifles......

The holy grails in SAFN rifles is the Belgian Congo or an Argentine in 7,65x53. Never found either. Whoops... forgot the Indonesian. Gary
