The SKS assault rifle is the predecessor to the AK-47 assault rifle and uses the same 7.62 x 39mm ammunition as the AK-47.

The AK47 was select fire (full automatic), the SKS was not and never was, so not an Assult Rifle (if you define assault rifle as having select fire)

I thought real AK-47’s use 7.62 x 51 and &.62 x 39 was a NATO round?

I’m aware of the SKS ammunition. My post dealt with people referring to Routh’s gun as an AK47, which has an automatic fire capability, which the SKS didn’t/doesnt.
