I have a factory stock SGL 31-61. |

Probably not. I imagine they have US made hammer, trigger, sear, and US made furniture. Which would put the count at six. You are better off getting a Ronin Grip in any color you like with the Russian markings.

You are better off getting a Ronin Grip in any color you like with the Russian markings. http://www.roninsgrips.com/ I'm trying to turn my SGL 31-61 into an early 80s AK-74N. I want to add a bakelite pistol grip (which is Russian). Will add Ironwood Designs wood down the road (which is U.S. made). These are the foreign parts on the SGL 31-61: 1 Receiver 2 Barrel 3 Trunnion Block 4 Bolt 5 Bolt Carrier 6 Gas Piston 7 Magazine Body 8 Magazine Follower 9 Magazine Floorplate So, if I add a Russian pistol grip, making it 10 total foreign parts, I should be fine, right? The hardware to mount the pistol grip doesn't count does it? |

No the hardware doesn't count, only what's listed here:
http://thegunwiki.com/Gunwiki/BuildAkVerifyCompliance Quoted:
The United States has a lovely bit of import law, which prevents most of the more interesting rifle designs from being directly imported into the US. It prevents the direct importation of AK-series rifles, and has ended up creating a market for demilitarized parts kits. In order for a parts kit to be demilitarized, the original receiver on the weapon must be destroyed in an approved manner (usually torch-cut, with a flame hot enough to remove .25" wide sections of material). The resultant pile of parts is legally no longer a weapon, and can be sold freely throughout the United States. In order to legally use these parts to construct a new firearm, one must ensure that no more than 10 imported parts remain in the final product. In short, you must replace a number of parts from your parts kit with American-made components. The sum of all the check boxes in the form below will automatically add themselves up as you click and unclick them. This allows you to easily consider how you can ensure that your rifle is as 922(r) compliant as it needs to be. NOTE: The default is now for the boxes to start off checked, and you un-check them for each compliance part. When viewing the forum threads which link to this page, I was seeing FAR too many people who weren't reading the instructions, and were only selecting their compliance parts instead of the imported parts as intended! So now all the boxes start off checked and you de-select your compliance parts. There are 16 counted parts on a AK. No more than 10 can be foreign. Normally that means you need 6 US parts to be 922 compliant. The SGL31 has 7 US made parts. Pistol Grip (1) Brake (1) Upper and Lower Handguards (1) Butt Stock (1) Trigger (1) Disconnector (1) Hammer (1) You can easily swap the pistol grip and still have 6 parts just like everyone is saying. On mine I have G2 FCG (3), Piston (1) and US floor plates and followers (2) in my mags. That way the furniture and brake is all Russian as well. Some people don't care for using mags as compliance parts but if it's on the list it's on the list and I'm ok with it. Z |

They come with 7 US parts. The muzzle brake is made in the the US. This guy is right. Like I said, you're good to go. |
