7.62 Tokarev I believe.
I've seen 7.62x39 dies marked 7.62 Russian Short. The overall length of the die may give a clue. You could always poke a pencil up inside and see how far up the shoulder is.

Well, I bought 600 rds of it, so I guess I'll find out as soon as the weather breaks, which should be around March...:lol:
AIM and Widener's both selling this, vague about whether its corrosive or boxer primed but supposed to be nicely made Prvi Partizan. 2MOA capable or better out of a good barrel.
It also pays to have a few spare parts. A worn latch or weak spring can cause the oprod and the bolt to start forward early. My Garand is one of the most beautiful rifles I have, aside from an 03A3.
Stripper clip is the common term down here. Sometimes the Guide that is used to load magazines out of the rifle is called the Charger, but I'm not sure that is the correct usage either. I ran across...
I inherited a Type 99 Arisaka from my dad. Yugo 48, 03A3, Garand, M1 carbine, Russkie SKS, M1A all on my dime. I'd still like a 96 Swede and a K31. Maybe someday.
.50 M2, probably modified for semi-auto. Or maybe just an FN-FAL or variant.
I personally wouldn't have a problem shooting US military 7.62 rounds in one, but the military high pressure test isn't far above SAAMI spec for .308 Winchester. I do not shoot commercial ammunition...
Lubing the case doesn't increase the pressure per se, it prevents the case from gripping the chamber and permits the bolt to take the full brunt, rather than having the case take much of it....
