What is the current largest caliber AK style rifle available?

My guess is the 7.62x54r dragunov/PSL/FPK

Easy Saiga 12 with slug barrel.

lol he said rifle, not shotgun. otherwise i believe you would be correct. the largest AK caliber i've ever heard of (i'm definitely no expert by any means so don't take my word for it) would be the 7.62 x 54R

Isn't the tigr made in some weird Russian 9.something x whatever MM rifle caliber?

eta: 9.3x64... never seen it before but it's offered, at least in Russia.  Apparently it's loaded about equal to a .35 Whelen.

bore diameter would be the 9x39 for the suppresed assault rifle and suppresed sniper rifle in the ak series.

I think it was 9x56, maybe.  It was much talked about when RAA was the new importer. I can't find it on their website now, maybe it was shelved.  They do make them in .308 and 30-06, but those are still .30 cal.

Oohh...

The 9.3x64 sounds cool.
Not that odd of a cartridge:
9.3x64
Just what I need for bears...

If were talking about the kalashnikov system it would be this beast.


But there is the Pauza P-50 as well that is supposed to be built around a super sized Kalashnikov action.

Take a look at their mpegs

What is that thing? Looks like a cross between a PSL and an SVD....

Isn't there one that chambers 8mm Mauser?  Not as big as that 50 but bigger than a .308
