7,62x54R

7,62x54R

7,62x54R is one of the newest calibre's in the Swedish defence. The ammunition is used in KSP95, which is a Soviet Kalashnikov PKT machine-gun that we got in the deal with the Pbv 401, and Pbv 501.
The ammunition is equal in performance to the 7,62x51. Sweden were offered ammunition when they bought the Soviet PKT, but rejected. The original Soviet block primers contain mercury. Mercury is not unusual, but unhealthy. So all ammunition in Sweden are locally made. The ammunition have been made in Vanäsverken, Sweden, since 1995.
