	The 7.62x39 cartridge was developed to Vollmer's gas action "Maschinenkarabin" patented in the beginning of 1930's. Vollmer was one of the firearms designers that continued their work in Russia after the WWII. He is also told to have taken part in AK-47 development. Russians Yelisarov & Syemin later adopted the cartridge and shifted the bullet diameter tolerance a bit larger to suit Russian military bullets. The modern 7,62x39 was born. Gunwriter Pete Kekkonen is a spaecialist about cartridge history. He answers these kind of readers' questions on: http://personal.inet.fi/business/reflex.suppressors/QA.html Best wishes, - J.
