AK is nominally 7.62 but many of the soviet guns are so loosebore 7.63 works
better. This is partly because it's rather hard to get an even hardchrome on
the inside of the barrel (the sovs need the chrome because

they shoot various iron core/jacket crap).

In any case 0.01mm difference affects accuracy mostly, not functioning.
