O.K.  I got into this discussion.  it is MY undersanding that the Ruger Mini 30 barrels are .308 in diameter, instead of .311,like the AK's, and SKS, but you can shoot .311(foreign) ammo in them.

What say ye, with proof to back it up?  D-451

American Rifleman, July 1999:

The bore of the Mini-30 is .308, but there is a long tapered throat which allows a fairly easy transition of a .311 bullet into the .308 bore. Therefore, both kinds of ammo can be used in it.
Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add "within the limits of the law" because law is often but the tyrant's will, and always so when it violates the rights of the individual.  Thomas Jefferson
