| I didn't expect that my first post on the AR-15 forum was going to be about an AK. I have an SLR-95 with the original thumbhole stock. Unlike many people, I like the thumbhole stock. So I have no desirre to change it. What I want to do is swap the handguard out for one that has a picatinny rail. I think that Midwest Industries makes one that will fit. Do the 922r rules about adding U.S. made parts apply if that is all that I do? I've read the posts and admit to confusion. Many thanks. |
| you need to have 5 US made parts on your SLR 95 to legally have it in the states period....and upper / lower handguard set will be counted as 1....the midwest industries is nice but I just had one on my arsenal SLR 95 and found it affected accuracy.. If you put in a tapco g2 trigger that will count as 3 parts, then you just need one more whether it be a US gas piston, magazine, etc |

If you only change the handguards and keep the thumbhole stock it is still considered a "sporter" rifle and not subject to 922. If you add a evil part like a pistol grip, removable muzzle device, etc, then you have to worry about 922. |

I kind of thought that is the way it *ought* to be, but ought to be is not always the way it is. But this time it makes sense. My wife and I actually like the thumbhole stocks. Strange as we may be.

You may want to be careful...I am not sure, but, if you add a vertical fore grip it may put you into the same legal problems. |

I'm pretty old-school that way. I test-shouldered an AR with one, and really didn't like it at all. Personal preference. But there is also no point in pushing the legal edges. |
