Are their any registered/transferable pre 86 ak 74's?  What would the feasibility be of amending a current registered 47 (7.62x39) paper work and then taking out the 7.62 parts and installing the 5.45x39 parts?

I heard there were a few registered 74s before 86. There have been a few people that did a full auto 5.45 krink on a registered 47 receiver.

I am not sure of the Vendor that did one of the conversions but its on their website.

I've seen post dealer samples but never a pre 86.  And I know with an AR you can ammend caliber, but wasn't sure of the ATF would let you do that on an AK.

It seems unlikely that anyone built a 5.45 rifle before '86.
In case we've forgotten, the Soviet Union was an enemy at that time and ammunition was unavailable.

Can an existing 47 form 1, 4 be ammended like that of an ar in order to shoot 5.45x39?

More to the point, are there 5.45 barrels which fit in the trunnions which work with a registered receiver?
I know that Chinese AKs were available prior to '86. I can't recall whether Yugos were available then or if they first came in later.
Will a 5.45 barrel fit either of those trunnions?

They drop in a complete Bulgarian or Russian kit on the reciever. They don't even mess with the old Chi Com crap.

probably a dumb question from a person who has never built an ak. Is it possible to pop out the old 7.62x39 parts kit and pop in a new 5.45 kit, or will the trunnions not fit the receivers?

I sure the mag well is cut differently also.  Why don't you ask this guy where he got his full auto 74 from??    We love breast

the main difference would be the lower rails, primarily the ejector rail. The rest of the reciver is nearly identical (trunnions are the same if both are for non 1.5mm stamped recievers), the magwell might be slightly different.

Hk sears and AR15s can be registered for multiple calibers, I dont see that being an issue

Are you suggesting that someone changes the front trunnion (which contains the serial number) on a NFA weapon?

this shows my ignorance of ak build, as i stated earlier, as a person who has never built an ak i don't know where the serial numbers are and are not.
