XD45 7,124 Posted February 9, 2013 Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 All my life I have balked at the thought of asking the government beancounters "pretty please, mother may I" when it comes to my guns. But I don't think I can resist any longer. My Zastava M92 PV is whispering quietly in my ear, and my will is weakening... 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jrance@iacwds.com 716 Posted February 9, 2013 Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 Pay the $200 tax and be done with it. I am waiting on the stamp for my PAP and some cans. As you get older you will realize all the years of fun that are lost, because you waited, and you will never be able to retrieve them. JMO 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Matthew Hopkins 1,065 Posted February 9, 2013 Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 once you start, you'll have others. I thought the same thing back in 04, but adding a fake can on a AKS-74U just looks utterly stupid and retarded. once I got the approval back, I added a MP-5K, a Hk-53, SAIGA 12 SBS, and my latest one a PPS-43 to my collection and haven't regretted it, 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
XD45 7,124 Posted February 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 once you start, you'll have others. Yeah I've already started thinking that if I already have the trust set up to do the sbr, no reason not to get a can for it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
garnaz 215 Posted February 10, 2013 Report Share Posted February 10, 2013 I can relate here. Then I start thinking about what was posted and have read in other forums. It's like crack can't do it just once. Cause if I do the pap then sbs and slr would be next. Probably divorce shortly there after. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MCASgt New River 10,036 Posted February 11, 2013 Report Share Posted February 11, 2013 Yes, stamps are like pringles & tattoo's...one is NEVER enough. I have a few of each, tattoo's & stamps, and can honestly say between my .22 suppressors and my Tromix SBS I really have fun. You'll be glad you did, once you do.

XD45 7,124 Posted February 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2013 Well after doing some research I think I'll save the can for something else. Evidently krinks are so loud even with a can that it's not worth it. So sayeth Mr Silencer. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
XD45 7,124 Posted February 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2013 I went ahead and ordered all my 922r parts. So I guess the die is cast. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mixednuttz 123 Posted February 14, 2013 Report Share Posted February 14, 2013 Are you sure you need to comply with 922r with NFA items? I only ask since that's possibly a lot of money you don't need to spend. Well that and I will eventually be doing the same to my M85... :-) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I only ask since that's possibly a lot of money you don't need to spend. Well that and I will eventually be doing the same to my M85... :-) Some say you do, some say you don't. It seems pretty clear to me that you don't need to worry about 922r on an nfa weapon. But I was already buying the quad rail, pistol grip, stock, and flash hider, so the only part I bought extra just for 922r was the G2 fcg from AK Builder for $30. In the end I figured it was worth a few bucks (better safe than sorry). I've been doing alot of reading about the conversion and the only thing that I'm a bit uncertain about is the trunnion angle. If you use a square mount it will result in a slight angle of the stock. But I've seen pictures of stocks mounted on M92s that way and the angle doesn't seem to be a problem. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Remek 771 Posted February 15, 2013 Report Share Posted February 15, 2013 (edited) If my ship ever arrives, I will be doing it too. Very cool you all are enjoying our god given rights to the full extent, even if you're being crapped on by government with this tax and tight regulation. Also, although I do not think 922r complaince is needed, I think you're doing the right thing just so you dont get pissed on by a bureaucrat who has decided to flex his regulatory muscle for the fun of it.

My ship arrived for this project in the form of 20 hours a week overtime for 3 months. So I paid off Christmas and I'm giving myself a birthday present. This is the first time I've had overtime in 2 years. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

U.S. Pratorean 1,234 Posted February 16, 2013 Report Share Posted February 16, 2013 Paying the govt. $200 to cut your barrel or put a stock on one is total ripoff BS. Does nothing to make your gun any more dangerous but once you do (at least me) you'll want all your guns that way except your long range bolt action. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Matthew Hopkins 1,065 Posted February 16, 2013 Report Share Posted February 16, 2013 (edited) you'll want all your guns that way except your long range bolt action. I don't know about that, I mean if you want to add a historical short barrel rifle that was used in the Russian revolution, you could go with a обрезы (obrez). a cut down Mosin- Nagant. I wouldn't do it, but if someone wants to add a "m-n variant" to their collection of M-N, this would have to be one of them.

I've already cut down 2 rifles but kept them "legal". But it's just not enough. I want less. Less I say! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

XD45 7,124 Posted February 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 I got the stock and folding mechanism on order. I was torn about 7.5 or 8.5 but using the 6-position on my M4gery as a guide I decided I was more comfortable with the 7.5 (plus 0.5 for the folding mech, plus 0.5 for the pad, giving 8.5"). Now to do the trust. Best price I've found for an attorney prepared gun trust is $300. That seems reasonable to me, but is it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gunfun 3,931 Posted February 18, 2013 Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 922 or not, I got to try a friend's 223 pap today and while overall, it was a nifty unborn SBR, that trigger was crappy. the cheap looking safety lever also downgraded the whole feel of an otherwise well made firearm. I am sure it works as good and all that, it just made it feel chintzy. Like a british car where they engineer the heck out of it and do wood inlays and then put a stamped tin clock that doesn't work in the middle of the dash. I'd shell out the few bucks to do a modified g2 double hook and have a nice trigger on that sucker. I couldn't see spending $200 on a stamp and sparing the $30 for a trigger that would pull the whole thing together. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

evlblkwpnz 3,418 Posted February 26, 2013 Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 "once you start, you'll have others" is the understatement of all time. You will definitely get addicted if the first item is a good experience. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I was torn about which stock length to get but I'm glad I got the 7.5. With the hinge and pad it's perfect. The trunnion is not drilled for the stock yet, of course.

MT Predator 2,294 Posted March 1, 2013 Report Share Posted March 1, 2013 If the weapon was imported before November 30, 1990, 922R does not apply in case you don't know. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
