TonyRumore 1,332 Posted May 20, 2011 Report Share Posted May 20, 2011 Here is what we have as far as foreign parts on the ATF's top 20 list. Receiver - Yes Barrel - Yes Barrel Extension - Yes Mounting Blocks/Trunions - No Muzzle Attachements - No Bolt - Yes Bolt Carrier - No Operating Rod - Yes Gas Piston - Yes Trigger Housing - No Trigger - Yes Hammer - Yes Sear - No Disconector - Yes Handguard - Yes Mag body - Yes Floorplate - Yes Follower - Yes That puts the count at 13. Then we have the buttstock and pistol grip to argue over. In the past, a single piece/part that serves more than one function, has only been counted as a single part. In this case the receiver, buttstock, and pistol grip are all one piece. I have counted the receiver in the 13 above, but if the pistol grip and buttstock were counted as seperate parts, then the count would be at 15. Break out the popcorn...........here we go.

Gunfixr 76 Posted May 20, 2011 Report Share Posted May 20, 2011 (edited) Well, barring a real ATF letter, personally I'd just assume 15 parts. CNC a hammer, trigger, and disconnect, add a US made hicap mag, and you'd be 1 part to the good. If you put the factory mag in you're 2 parts short, but not hicap, so it doesn't matter. Seems easiest to me. Edited May 20, 2011 by Gunfixr Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thumbhole stocks count as 2 parts for 922r. A buttstock and Pistol grip. I hope your right, but I wouldn't count on that without more solid verification. Really though the first thing its going to need is adapters for US buttstocks and pistol grips anyway. Look at the market for customizing ARs, anything that allows you to open this gun up to those already existing parts will be gold. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bambulance Man 13 Posted May 22, 2011 Report Share Posted May 22, 2011 I have already set aside a Akdal fund for weapon and parts Quote Link to post Share on other sites
erwos 12 Posted May 22, 2011 Report Share Posted May 22, 2011 It would seem wildly unusual to count a single physical part as two 922r parts. I'd go with 13, personally. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

volkov 318 Posted May 23, 2011 Report Share Posted May 23, 2011 (edited) maybe that's why they intentionally made it all one part though? To drop parts counts.. Maybe it's already been checked out. Guess we'll see Edited May 23, 2011 by volkov Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jasper 19 Posted June 18, 2011 Report Share Posted June 18, 2011 Wouldnt a polychoke count to the good?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TonyRumore 1,332 Posted June 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2011 Yes, but it doesn't matter how many U.S. part you have, only how many foreign parts. There is no muzzle device on the gun now, so adding a U.S. device does you no good. Tony Quote Link to post Share on other sites
