I've decided that 7.62x54r is just too darned long to type. So from now on I dub it...the .310 Commie! Who's with me?

Re: Too many numbers...
Well when you consider that it was designed while Russia was still Russia the first time, you might want to call it .310 Imperial. Now the 7.62 x 39 might be up for your "Commie" label.
Damn, I'll bet that's going to leave a mark! Probably hurt too!

7.62 Mosin? 
Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.

“Freedom is the right to tell people what they do not want to hear.” George Orwell, English novelist, essayist, and critic, 1903-1950
Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
C. S. Lewis

Let me make a short, open, blanket comment. There are no good guns. There are no bad guns. Any gun in the hands of a bad man is a bad thing. Any gun in the hands of a descent person is no threat to anyone--- except bad people. -- Charleton Heston
Guns are not good, they are not evil. Save those descriptions for the people holding the firearm. -- Unknown

1937 Izhevsk
1935/48/50 Tula (hex)
1939 Tula (laminate stock)
And many other firearms

Re: Too many numbers...
I just use 54r and X39 when the post is concerning either of those two calibers.

It used to be called 7.62 Russian a long time ago. or 7.62 Russ.

Re: Too many numbers...
.310 Commie sounds like a very big & heavyset Russian dude with a real bad disposition.... And .310 Imperial makes me think of a big ol' Chrysler....
I'll stick with 7.62x54r or 54r or even just plain "ammo" as LC suggested.

I shot my first 7.62X54R this week-end. I called it "Woah!"
