silva 0 Posted May 15, 2013 Report Share Posted May 15, 2013 First of all I would like to say I am new here and did use the search function and could not find anything on this subject I just purchased my first Saiga and I am going to convert it to have a pistol grip. I would like to know which parts on the stock rifle are non-US made. I searched google as well and could not come up with anything, so I figured I am either horrible at searching or this is the first time this has been asked. I have messed around with the 922r compliance checklist but would like to know which parts to uncheck BEFORE the rifle is converted so I can know what US parts I currently have in it and which are foreign. Thanks friends and fellow Saiga Owners! Silva Quote Link to post Share on other sites
theorangeplanet 968 Posted May 15, 2013 Report Share Posted May 15, 2013 None of the parts on the stock Saigas are U.S. made. If you stick a U.S. made magazine in there, it will count for 3 parts. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

So hypothetically speaking. If I had no magazine at all, would the rifle be illegal? Because I get that there is no pistol grip so that makes it 13 parts. US made magazine -3. So thats 10 making it legal. If I had no magazine at all that would keep the rifle at 13 non-US parts correct? I just purchased this kit here: http://www.mississippiautoarms.com/saiga-conversion-kit-with-aluminum-folding-collapsible-cbs-stock-p-3358.html If I am using this kit, will I be able to use surplus magazines? I don't think so just yet. I am planning on buying a US-made Bolt carrier and handguard as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LuPiN8oR 333 Posted May 15, 2013 Report Share Posted May 15, 2013 Imported rifles only need to be 922r compliant if an "evil" feature such as a pistol grip is installed or mag in excess of 10 rounds is inserted. Typically on conversions the fire control group (3 parts) and buttstock (1) and pistol grip (1-not counted at first but if added & is foreign counts against) are done w us parts. You can switch handguards as well for an additional part. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

silva 0 Posted May 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2013 What are the 3 parts on the trigger group that are 922r compliant when I swap? It is the Trigger, Hammer and disconnector right? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
