THE IMAGE ABOVE IS A PAID ADVERTISEMENT Q: Is my gas piston supposed to wobble? Yes Q: Why is there a gap between the rear of my rifle and the buttstock? That's the way it's supposed to be Q: What's wrong with my 'bolt hold open'? Nothing, AKs don't have one. Exceptions being some Saiga rifles, and Yugoslavian magazines (which have a bolt catch built into the mag) Q: Can I install a 'bolt hold open'? Yes, it will require some work. Typically, they will all be manually activated. Choices are typically the Saiga-type and the modified safety type. www.geocities.com/akcatch/ Q: How do I remove the upper handguard? www.ak47.net/forums/topic.html?b=4&f=93&t=68973 Q: How do I assemble my underfolder? home.earthlink.net/~mwsjb/AKbuild3.htm Q: Who builds AKs?

If there was a definite answer, I'd give it to you. I think the consensus is that accuarcy is more related to the quality of the rifle as a whole, not necessarily the receiver. |

trying to help a guy out but the parts count link is not working try this out
archive.ar15.com/forums/topic.html?b=4&f=93&t=55169 cut and paste from old post OK, this is probably one of THE most asked questions: What are the parts that need to be replaced to be 922r compliant? (1) Frames, receivers, receiver castings, forgings or stampings (2) Barrels (3) Mounting blocks (trunions) (4)*Muzzle attachments (5) Bolts (6) Bolt carriers (7) Gas pistons (8) Triggers (9) Hammers (10) Disconnectors (11) Buttstocks (12) Pistol grips (13) Forearm handguards (14) Magazine body (15) Followers (16) Floorplates An gun can contain no more that 10 "imported" parts. The floorplate and follower count as one part each. Both handguards count as 1 part, the pistol grip counts as 1, as well as the stock is 1. By replacing the FCG with an American made version this counts as 3 parts replacement. |

I don't profess any particular knowledge of 922r (frequent users of the board probably have a better overall understanding, in fact), but I was curious, so I did a little research. Just for reference, the list of parts necessary to comply with 18 USC 922r may be found at 22 CFR 178, conveniently set forth at:
http://www.atf.treas.gov/regulations/27cfr178.html Scroll down to Section 178.39. |

Some of the old links don't work anymore due to AR15.com threads being archived.
Other than that, this thread is very handy! |

***EDIT***
i found it by accident here - thanks brian for volunteering to search - i think this is pretty important to maybe this link in the OP. http://ar15.com/forums/topic.html?b=4&f=78&t=80299 can someone point me to the thread that had the write up on the "illegal" receivers - before i purchase, i want to make sure i don't get duped. someone did an excellent writeup that had info on the serial number range and manufacturer for reference - i just don't remember which forum it was in, and it was at least a month ago that i read it (which means my public search won't pull it)! thanks! |
