h0pper 0 Posted January 3, 2013 Report Share Posted January 3, 2013 hello saiga law savvy people! ive been searching the forums here (and google). i cant find this subject covered, and im curious. would installing a foreign buttplate and/or sling swivel on a us made buttstuck disquiliefy the stock as a us made part? if yes, why is it we can use an original foreign pistol grip screw with a us made grip to help with compliance? thanks.

akastormi 617 Posted January 3, 2013 Report Share Posted January 3, 2013 Well the butt plate is not listed as a part on the count. The stock is, and that is the US made part. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jojo200517 68 Posted January 3, 2013 Report Share Posted January 3, 2013 Well I'm gonna assume he's asking about a wooden stock or some such. I have always been curious for the ones of us with adjustable AR style stocks tho which part actually counts as the stock, the part that goes on or the tube and adapter, or do both have to be US made to count as US made stock.
