Several firearms. The first was the Simonov Carbine Semiautomatic (SKS). The best known is probably the AK47 (Kalashnikov) However, there are many other weapons chambered for this cartridge now. One Australian company is making bolt action lee-Enfield rifles in 7.62x39. The Czech marketing company CZ offers a bolt action hunting rifle in 7.62x39 (in term of energy produced, it's comparable to a .30-30 round). Ruger manufactures the Mini 30, which is a 7.62x39 variant of the Mini 14. 7.62x39 versions of civilian variants of the AR-15 and Daewoo K2 rifle have been manufactured, as well. Other military weapons aside from the Kalashnikov rifles (and which are often mistaken for AK type rifles) include the Chinese Type 68, Chinese Type 81, and Czech Vz.58, and there is a 7.62x39 variant of the Israeli Galil ACE in production.
