Am I THAT old? Weird. . . ). With the Russians again chambering a 6.5mm assault rifle cartridge in their favorite design the wheel, perhaps, turns full circle!

Yes, the Federov Avtomat 6.5mm with full auto capability was introduced in the Czarist era. It saw use in The Great War, The Russian Civil War, the Winter War against Finland, and The Great Patriotic War.
My friends in Finland made its existence known to me back in 2007.
