Rock and Glock none of it is expensive. The AK is a Romanian WARS-10 that my brother-in-law got for me for less than $300. The furniture is made by TDI Arms or it might be TAI Arms. Its hard to tell since the letters are blending together. I forgot where I got the furniture or what I paid fot it but I'm sure I do not have more than $600 in the rifle.

OOOOH Good looking...

I might have to invest in some nice plastic furniture.

Thanks for the idea.

A question...

How does Sec.922R fit into these mods?

I was looking at some furniture for my SKS, and kept seeing this note that Sec. 922R applies. I tried doing my own research and ended up even more confused. It seemed that if you changed one part, you had to change a total of ten parts (the actual number varies, depending on the original rifle) to make it considered "U.S. made."

Any clarification is appreciated.

Dave.

Here you go...

Check out the section half way down the page titled "ASSEMBLY AND MODIFICATION OF FIREARMS".

There's also this page...

JT,

Thanks, I think! I have book marked the page to read more thoroughly and repeatedly. It is still confusing. I would hate to be the NRA's first test case though.

Yes, it is confusing. Here's one more link, from the same site. It has copies of letters from the BATF. I don't know if it makes it any clearer, but maybe reading official responses could help your comfort level.
