What is the manufacturer of a 308 Sniper Rifle known as a Kate?

Short answer is Remington. But it is a mix of parts. The action is that of a Remington 700. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M24_Sniper_Weapon_System The above is the Army sniper rifle. Gibbs used the Marine m40. In the episode you're referring to, the rifle Ari used was a Bravo 51, chambered in .308 Lapua. This rifle doesn't exist. There is a Bravo 51, but it is chambered in .338 Lapua. There is no .308 Lapua. The Bravo 51 is named "Kate" and the rifle is only available in .338 Lapua. This platform is available in other calibers, but have different names. The TV show mixed stuff, but it's just a show.

Can 308 ammo fit sks 7.62x39?

No, 308 Win is like the 7.62 X 51 not the 7.62 X 39. The 308 Win will not chamber in an SKS it is too long.


Are 308 caliber and 7.62 X 51 the same size?

Yes, 308 = 7.62. But the 51 part is variable. The first number is the outer diameter of the bullet. This has to be exactly correct to fit the barrel of the gun. The second number, 51, can be different, and may still work.

What is the history of a J C Higgins Model 51 bolt action rifle?

The model 51 was manufactrued by High Standard using a Mauser action manufactrued by FN as was the Model 50. It was offered in .270 and .30-06 and had chromed bores. It was superceded by the model 51-L which was a sumilar rifle that used a HVA action and was offered in .243, .207, .30-06 and .308. The link below shows when it was cataloged by Sears. http://www.histandard.info/PDF/Sears%20CF%20Rifles.pdf


What caliber rifle is a AK-47?

The round fired in an AK 47 is a 7.62x39. This number denotes the bullet diameter, 7.62mm and the length of the cartridge (the brass) which is 39mm. Now, the 7.62 bullet diameter is a .30 caliber in western measurements. Specifically, nearly identical to a .308. Here, we get into some common misconceptions. To begin, though the 7.62mm bullet is virtually identical to a .308 bullet, but the 39mm case/cartridge/brass is significantly shorter than a .308 winchester. The .308 Winchester is the caliber of the standard sniper rifle used by the US military. This .308 is virtually identical to the NATO 7.62 x 51. Same bullet diameter but with a longer cartridge/brass. I say the .308 is 'virtually' identical because a NATO 7.62x51 can be fired by a rifle chambered for .308 Winchester but one should not fire a .308 win from a rifle chambered for the 7.62x51. This is because the chamber pressures are measured differently. RELOADING NOTE-one can NOT reload a 7.62 x 51 NATO cartridge using the same reloading data as would be used for a .308 Winchester! The 7.62 x 51 NATO brass is thicker than the .308 Win so to load with the same number of grains/weight of powder would produce dangerously high chamber pressures which would result in, at best, innacurate rounds and, most probably, rounds that will cause the rifle to fail/blow up in your face. Chamber pressure in NATO rounds are measured in CUP (Copper Units of Pressure) and NOT psi. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copper_units_of_pressure TO SEE IF YOU ARE LOADING A NATO CARTRIDGE LOOK FOR THE "PLUS" SIGN HEADSTAMP: http://www.frfrogspad.com/natocase.jpg there is a 'plus' sign or cross in a circle. A cartridge with this stamp is NOT THE SAME as a .308 win cartridge. Hope this helped!
