.308 vs 7.62x51 vs .308/7.62 NATO Hybrid Chamber

[lovetabike]

We all know there is a diff between the .308 and 7.62 X51. I see some ARs listed as .308. Some as 7.62. I have also seen from Fulton Armory a .308/7.62 NATO Hybrid Chamber.  Didn't know there was such a hybrid. Any thoughts on a .308 vs a hybrid chamber?

 

Thanks

Get a. 308 chamber it will hold pressure on both 308 and 762 rounds. The hybrid chamber is more of a marketing device , the chamber reamer is probably is from Pacific Tool right out of the catalog. Kind a like buying a designer diamond cut from Kay's Jewelery. All flash but no substance.

Yep. And on some of them, the difference is one 10th of a Thousandth of an inch.  0.0001" difference.

 

OP, buy from a reputable manufacturer - whatever they're offering - and you won't have an issue.
