russianblood 0 Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 I plan on adding the Russian Made skeleton stock to the S-20 that I ordered. I just want to make sure that it's not considered a pistol grip so I don't have to do any "Made in USA" additions to keep it legal. This is the one I'm refering to: In Michigan, we are not allowed to hunt with hi-capacity magazines so I can't fix my parts count with one. Besides, I've not seen any US made magazines for the S-20. Are there any available? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Some Saigas are imported with that stock from the factory, so should not be an issue. I believe they consider that a "thumbhole" grip, not a pistol grip (mighty big thumbhole if you ask me). I passed up a .223 with that stock, should have taken it instead of the MonteCarlo. I thought I saw some Surefire S-20 mags someplace, but I could be mistaken...

rjhauser 0 Posted December 10, 2008 Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 The way this whole stock was explained to me is that because the rifle/shotgun comes with this option, and it is one russian part replacing one russian part, there is no 922r issue here. However, I am no lawyer, and I did get the BATFE office to put it in writing for me, and I would recommend that if you are worried you do the same. Read at your own risk. YMMV.

BKLYN_C 14 Posted December 21, 2008 Report Share Posted December 21, 2008 (edited) I also ordered this stock and received it Friday. Today went to the range. Absolutely different handling, love it! As per the legal side, in the store they explained that ATF doesnt consider it a pistol grip because the grip doesnt qualify as "a pistol grip that protrudes conspicuously beneath the action of the weapon" meaning that handle is attached to the butt of the receiver and when you grip it part of the hand is above the lower edge of receiver. Bottom line, ATF approved it as thumbhole and allowed to be imported in that configuration Edited December 21, 2008 by BKLYN_C Quote Link to post Share on other sites
