The AK-47 (and AKM) was always chambered in 7.62x39. There are, however, variants of the Kalashnikov rifle chambered in 7.62x54R. The Zastava M76 (Yugoslavia) was chambered in 7.92x57 for the Yugoslav market, with export versions available in 7.62x51 and 7.62x54R. Additionally, the Romanian PSL is chambered in 7.62x54R. These are actual variants of the Kalashnakov rifle, and they use the same long stroke piston system. The Dragunov SVD is often mistaken for an AK variant - it's actually a much different rifle, and uses a short stroke recoil system.
