If you want a wood stock, there are several companies making wood US furniture Ironwood Designs comes to mind, but they aren't cheap. By doing this, you can use any mag you want without having to worry about it having US parts. You will have the US stock, forearm, pistol grip, hammer, trigger and disconnector, for a total of 6 parts.

If you go with the Tapco furniture that you spoke of, add a Tapco double hook G2 fire control parts set and you will be good to go. Since the gun is already assembled, about all that you can't swap out easily are the receiver, barrel and front trunnion I don't know of anyone making a US bolt or carrier, so those are out, too. You could use US hammer, trigger and disconnector, then use a US butt, pistol grip and forearm if you want poly furniture. If you wanted to, you could use a US hammer, trigger and disconnector, then use US mag parts, but you would have to use ONLY mags with US parts for legality this would let you use any furniture you wanted, imported or not. In order for it to be a "US" made weapon, it has to have 10 or less foreign parts. Trunnion (the part that goes into the stamped receiver to hold the barrel) The imported parts that are relevant to the AK are: For 922r compliance, if modified from the original, grandfathered configuration, it has to have 10 or less to be considered a "US" gun. But I would like to understand this anyway for future reference.Īccording to the 922r list, the MAK has 15 of the bad imported features with a bare muzzle, 16 if it has a slant brake, flash hider or other muzzle device on it. I mean, it would be simple to just replace the thumbhole stock with a tapco set and be done with it.

Can someone help clarify this a little bit for me. Now, if I replaced the thumbhole stock with a pistol grip and stock then I would be theoretically ADDING one more foreign part (if I use foreign furniture) As best I can tell ALL the parts are foreign made. But my rifle already exceeds 10 foreign made parts.

Ok.what I am seeing is 10 parts is the key factor. Or does it mean that I can only EVER replace the foreign made thumbhole stock with American made parts? Some of those foreign parts were specifically designed to conform to the AWB but they are still foreign.ĭoes 922 mean that I cannot switch out one foreign part (my thumbhole stock) with two other foreign parts (in this case a stock and a grip)? Or is that ok seeing as the firearm is is already foreign? Right now my rifle has 100% foreign parts. Maybe I am just getting various laws confused. As an import from China, ALL of the "parts" listed in 922 are of foreign manufacture aren't they? I think that only added to my confusion though. No matter what you choose, it will be MUCH better than the thumbhole stock! Good luck. If you find what you want, as long as you maintain the proper US parts count, go for it. Myself, I just don't think that AKs look good in poly furniture, but that's just me. Nowadays, they cost quite a bit more (IIRC, I paid $35.00 for the side folder stock last I saw any online, they were going for $69.99 and up) but are still out there. I think I have about $125.00 in all the parts for the conversion, even the US parts. I had found all the parts online a couple of months prior to the expiration of the "Assault Weapons Ban" in 2004, so I got them pretty cheap, gambling that the AWB would sunset and I could use them. I put a Romanian side folder stock and laminated Romanian pistol grip forearm and found online a laminated US pistol grip that matched the Romy forearm. Using a US gas piston lets me use any mags, not just those with US parts, and lets me use any furniture I want except pistol grip. I don't have a muzzle device on my MAK, so I needed 5 parts (6 with a muzzle device). I used a Tapco G2 fire control set (hammer, trigger, sear), a Tapco gas piston and US pistol grip. With the legalese out of the way, here's what I did to my MAK.

I didn't know if you knew this and posted it in the interests of full disclosure. Just keep in mind, if you change out the thumbhole stock, you have to play the US parts game to stay legal.
