OK so I bought a Yugo Underfolder AK this morning.  I had to get a pistol purchase permit
to buy the gun because it is less than 26" when folded.  I take the gun back to the Wyandotte Police Department for its
"Safety Inspection"  and the woman behind the counter is filling in all of the info.
on the computer and she asks me what Caliber it is, I say 7.62x39
she says that is not an option because the numbers dont fit in the box
on the computer.  After much debate o her wanting to put in .308 and me
saying no thats not the caliber she says well I will have to call the state and
give you a call back when to come in and get it fixed.  AHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!

Who has a AK pistol or Underfolder and what is in the caliber box on your green card?
Please help me!!

One of my green cards says 7.62x39, the other says 7.62.  These are both for 7.62x39 AKs. I'm not sure if my police department types them in by hand or what, but that is what they say.

Yeah I asked her if she could just put 7.62 and she said no.
Thank you!  Now I know it is possible to put in 7.62x39 it may just be a
Wyandotte problem.  I still would like to get an idea of what others have.

Thanks CJF!

7.62.  Its actually a state police issue.  She should call them.  There is a 999 catagory for other.  If she wont call Deb Smith at MSP, see is she will enter  "Other" and code it under 999.

I'll call tomorrow and ask her again to put 7.62 if not I'll ask her to call Deb Smith at the MSP.  Thank you guys.  If I ever have a question about firearms I know this is the place to ask!  I'll update with results.

I just got a call from the Police Department called Deb Smith at the MSP and they say they can take the " . " out of 7.62
to make it fit in their little box.  You gotta be kidding me right this whole thing started because of a decimal.  I understand
not all departments have had to deal with every gun situation but come on.

Anyway I want to send a huge +1 to Lisa at the Wyandotte Records Bureau she is very helpful and always pleasant.

Thanks for the help from everyone here too you guys are great!!
