7.62 nato what is it?

Here's a question....I had a Guns and Ammo magazine, all American offered guns. In the a Semi auto section of AR'S, they of course explain each rifle and specs. Most of them are 5.56 or 223, 7.62x51 or 7.62x39. Some are explained as 7.62, no other description, what 7.62? Which one?

In most cases, you can tell which one by the type of rifle it is chambered in or the author is writing about.

AR15s will be chambered in 7.62x39 and AR10s will be chambered in 7.62x51. This gives you the opportunity to widen your knowledge as to firearm makes and available chamberings by looking up the types of rifles on the internet

I get the feeling we have but touched the tip of the iceberg here.

The question is, how can we get more of this knowledge, yours, bearhunter's and others, into the the public forum?

I can think of some people who have knowledge but will not share it except in dribs and drabs. It will die with them, and instead of being known for their contributions, they will be forgotten.

Just about everyone of us knows certain facts. Collectively, we know just about everything. In my case, I chime in when I think I have something to share. Others do the same.

The guy that should write the book is Smellie.
