922R question

[Uncle Alvah 0]

This compliance stuff is confusing to me.

If I understand it correctly, to be in compliance with 922r, the first thing you need to do is determine the total number of parts in the rifle in question, as no more than 20 can be made outside the USA. Is there an easy way of determining the total number of parts in a stock Saiga .223 short of dissassembling the gun?

This helped me a lot.

Check to sticky section at the top of the Saiga 223 forum section. Has the wiki link and a specific Saiga link.

Hi Alvah. If you're starting with a box stock unaltered Saiga 223 Sporter, and all you wanna do is use high capacity mags, the cheapest and easiest way to be 922r compliant is to put on a Tapco hand guard (around $45) and use Sure Fire mags (around $30). That's all it takes. That's all I did to my 223 to be 922r compliant.
