A couple of Cold Warriors Hungarian M52 & Czech Vz52/57

Didn't they switch between 7.62x39 and a proprietary 7.62x45 round? I have a few of the 7.62x45 rounds kicking around.

In answer to your questions the Vz52 was originally chambered in 7.62x45. Later they were pressured to standardize ammo with the other Warsaw Pact members and the result was the Vz52/57 in 7.62x39.
