THE IMAGE ABOVE IS A PAID ADVERTISEMENT 
I got a buttstock for $50 off EE and then got a pistole grip and screw for another $38[Thanks Gtate! I have mixed feelings about it. I think my foregrip wood may be too light. It was hard to find the right shade, All & all I do like it. Maybe my next project for this will be a wood stripping and refinish. |

I have the same problem with my chicom furniture. The handguard is lightest then the grip then the stock. Probably going to put some tinted poly on the handguard, the grip is close enough.

I'd try just adding a coat or two of bullseye amber shellac ontop of the handguards. That should darken it to match.
What are your 922r parts? (if you chose to comply) |

Neither the stock part or the grip are marked made in USA or China. |

I have 3 MAK's, & 2 of them have exactly the same color as your handguards. If it was mine, I'd make the buttstock & pistol grip match the handguard. GARY N4KVE

That looks real nice. Just need to get you a green chicom web sling to put the icing on the cake!

Neither the stock part or the grip are marked made in USA or China. The lack of 922R compliant parts, and evidence presented here that you assembled it = Free stay at club fed. I'd be asking for a lock, and delete right about now.  |

I'd be asking for a lock, and delete right about now. I dont think its that bad. None of the stuff I took off was marked as to where it was made. Nor were the items I added. I would see it as compliant swap. |

Do you honestly think that it would be a stretch for them to correctly ID the stock's country of origin, trace your posts back to, "I'll take it" in the seller's thread, who likely listed it as a Chinese stock , and use this thread to prove that you assembled a non-compliant weapon? |

Let's not be so dramatic and how about educating people about what the law actually is rather than play internet Nazi and scaring the shit out of people? The truth of the matter if 922 is a giant mess. Here's just 1 example when I search for 922r prosecution. Or this one
OP if you want peace of mind there is a tool called The Gunwiki which will help you figure out your count. If you have any further questions some of us here would be more than happy to help. |

So someone posts a rifle with a third pin hole and what do you do? You tell them what it's worth, in time. And ask for a lock/delete. seems to be SOP. But 922R, no sir. that's just not a federal law that we need to worry about. We shouldn't warn anyone about the possible ramifications. Nope. |

I said let's not scare the shit out of him and educate him about the law so he knows what he needs to do to make it compliant. Telling him he's going to get time at club fed is a little over the top. ETA, where did the 3rd pin hole come from? |

Its just so sad. Whenever someone posts a photo of an "improved" MAK 90, somewhere mixed in with all the "congrats" there is a 922 nazi asking about the 922 count. We're TIRED of it already. Just call 911. GARY N4KVE

ETA, where did the 3rd pin hole come from? A thread posted earlier in AK general. It was nuked rather fast. We should be scared of running afoul of the ATF. Post a topic about an unregistered SBR, SBS, MG, AOW, or DD proclaiming that it's an unregistered NFA device. You'll get a lot of replies in line with mine. Why should 922R be any different? Educate the OP to what they have, educate them as to the penalties of violating the law, and urge removal, or censure of the offending post. Yes, I was short and didn't go into how to convert it legally. that's my fault and I apologize. |
