In factory form, the Saiga has 14 parts. If you use a magazine that hold over 10 rounds or a pistol grip, you will need to become 922r compliant. A magazine is 3 parts and you could switch the forearm or piston out for 1 more. If you add a pistol grip to the gun, it will then have 15 parts and you will need 5 to be compliant. If you have added a pistol grip, then add a muzzle attachment, you are at 16 parts, like standard ak's.
