The 7.62 mm designation refers to the internal diameter of the barrel at the lands (the raised helical ridges in rifled gun barrels). The actual bullet caliber is often 7.82 mm (0.308 in), although Soviet weapons commonly use a 7.91 mm (0.311 in) bullet, as do older British ( .303 British ) and Japanese ( 7.7×58mm Arisaka ) cartridges.
The Rifle 7.62 mm 1A1, or the Ishapore 1A1, is a copy of the L1A1 self-loading rifle. [18] It is produced at Ordnance Factory Tiruchirappalli of the Ordnance Factories Board .

While modern firearms are generally referred to by the name of the cartridge the gun is chambered for, they are still categorized together based on bore diameter. [citation needed] For example, a firearm might be described as a "30 caliber rifle", which could accommodate any of a wide range of cartridges using a roughly 0.30 inches (7.6 mm) projectile; or as a "22 rimfire", referring to any ...
The M240L weighs 22.3 lb (10.1 kg) with a standard-length barrel and standard stock, and weighs 21.8 lb (9.9 kg) with a shorter barrel and collapsible stock. The short barrel is 4 in (102 mm) shorter than a standard M240 barrel, and with the collapsible stock the M240L can be made 7 in (178 mm) shorter.
The C.I.P. lists the projectile diameter as 7.83 mm (.311–.312 caliber), which is the same bullet diameter as the British .303 British cartridges and Soviet ".30 caliber" rounds like 7.62×39mm. .308 Winchester(7.62 mm)-size bullets are safe and usable but would not necessarily be the most accurate. Reloading in this chambering is a nuisance ...
7.62mm Thumper is a barrel specification optimized to run larger bullets out of standard 7.62×39mm cases. [1] Barrels are cut to a standard 7.62×39mm "Russian" chamber but the bore ideally uses a faster 1:8" rifling twist rate in order to stabilize bullets heavier than 200gr at subsonic speeds. [2]
The 7.62×51mm NATO and .300 Savage barrels feature a 305 mm (1:12 in) right-hand twist rate. The twist rate for the other standard chamberings are; 7mm-08 Remington 241 mm (9.5 in), .260 Remington 229 mm (9 in), and 6.5×47mm Lapua 203 mm (8 in). The Intervention barrels are available in all the chamberings mentioned above.
