So...What U.S. parts did you put in it to replace the ones you removed? |
Are you truly concerned, or just policing? I already knew he had baseplates as I told him where to get them and the followers he wanted.
If you had actually read the whole thread you would probably have the answer. There are certain laws that we all must follow, there are also forum rules which if violated may cause a member to be banned. But some people would rather just ignore the site Code of Conduct, just like they will ignore laws. Those people really aren't doing those that follow the rules and laws any good. As for your statement as to whether I am policing. If you don't like it go ahead and request that site staff remove my moderator privileges if that is what you want. Doesn't make any real difference to me.
Why is this subject coming up so much lately? Why are there so many people here that condone and promote this blatant gun control?
Why has the subject been coming up so much lately. Because when people ask for advice where they can get compliance parts, certain individuals on the site tell them to not bother, that it is an unenforceable law, that the gov't will never get a conviction. These are usually members who show up on the AK side of the board, post in a couple of threads and then disappear from this side of the board for months, years or to never appear again. Happens every month.
It just baffles me that I have read page after page of discussion on all the different ways you can comply with ridiculous 922 thing.
Ridiculous? Maybe, but those that ignore it are just calling for another ban which will cause more harm to the hobby.
It is called "infringement", as in "shall not". People need to start refering to it as such. |
If you are really concerned, I let him know where to get the baseplates for compliance parts previously a month ago. I also let him know where to get the US 5.45x39 followers for his magazines. I was curious whether he got them from the individual who I recommended who had them manufactured. Search function will help you keep from stepping on your dick. Might want to check and see if the original poster ever asked a question concerning this subject before. He did. These are the recommendations some of us on the forum gave him.

Since you have a muzzle device and bayo lug, the minimum is six US parts. Here are some which qualify:
Grip-1
Stock-1
Lower/Upper Handguards-1
Trigger-1
Hammer-1
Disconnector-1
Floorplate-1
Follower-1
Muzzle Device-1
Gas Piston-1
ETA: All above items mean US made, of course. |

The grip counts as one; handguards-1; stock-1; FCG-3.
You would be two short with your example/question. But, as listed above, there are options. I just can't find followers for the M74 magazine, just floorplates. What I want to do to mine, is get a Krebs brake, US made floorplates and buy a US made pistol grip that resembles a Russian made grip...was wondering what you wanted to do with yours, as I can't find gas pistons for the 74. Somebody please help us! |
Quoted:
that sounds about like what i had in mind too. Krebs is out of brakes, i called today. K-Var doe's have a U.S. grip that is dark brown,but out of stock. where did you find the 74 floorplates?
I am going to a local gunshow here in a few hours and see what i can find. If i find anything i will pick up a couple each,and let you know what i have. |

I wish i would have did some homework before i spent the $$$ on the woodset |

dude- dont worry about it- no one is looking IMHO just get a us made mag follower and floor plate and you will be fine. |
Quoted:
50 post rule, we have a 50 post rule for posting images? I never heard of that here. I know gunsnet has a 50 post rule for posting links. I've got laminated wood on one of my 5.45x39 rifles, black poly on one, and plum on another. I like them all. The Russian wood looks great but I am partial to Polish wood on any rifle. Unfortunately, as the prices of Polish wood went up I sold my best looking sets.
Bud, did you get in on grasshoppers group buy for his US AK-74 followers? |
Quoted:
Mak, i thought for sure there was a 50 post rule
yes i got the floor plates,and now i need to find a U.S. made break. I don't want to go thru the hassel of changing the gas piston,so for now i'm just going to put on the Russian grips and stock and use a U.S. made brown grip. When Grasshopper starts selling his followers,i'll put the Russian grip on.
The Polish wood looks good too. |
Quoted:
grasshopper still has not received the followers from the shop making them. I think they are $2.50 each but you don't pay until he receives them and is ready to ship. He is also the source of the mag plates. |

Yeah, I've got the mag plates ordered, but I missed out on the followers. |

grasshopper's followers |
Quoted:
Has Grasshopper announced a date yet, on when he will start selling the followers. When he doe's start selling, they won't be sitting on his shelf for very long. |
I guess some people have a history of recommending others just violate laws.

Well, Einstein, there are a couple of issues here...
1. Some unsuspecting buyer is going to spend some time in jail because this jackass can't exercise some discretion.
2. Why advertise the fact that people are running around putting illegal parts on their weapons. It just strengthens the position to ban everything all together. What they don't know won't hurt us.

What are these "illegal parts" you talk of. The second amendment does not say "except for illegal folding stocks" It only says our right is not to be even INFRINGED!

First off, I didn't post this thread to start a witch hunt. I feel that we need to look out for each other. I don't agree with the AW Ban any more than the rest of you, and we definitely don't need for some of our ranks to become criminals just to thumb their noses at the system. If you don't like the way something is done, vote in someone who will do it the way you want. I cannot see the government offering leniency just because someone is ignorant of federal firearms laws and possesses an illegal "assault weapon". Note also that I said "Possible" in my subject line. I do not know for fact what the gentleman is selling, nor do I wish to turn him in if in fact he is in the wrong. If he is ignorant of the facts, it is because we do not help others out by informing them of the law. Hey, if I had an illegally-configured rifle, one of you had better let me know. Heck, I even saw an illegal AR-15 last year in a gun shop owned by a law enforcement officer. I provided a serial number list to prove that a pre-ban upper was on a post-ban lower. The guy refused to believe me, but I did my part by trying to inform him. We need to stay legal so as not to tarnish our (firearms owners) image any more than it already is to a lot of people.

What a renegade you are. Here's a little test. Do you...
1. have a Driver's License?
2. have a Social Security Card?
3. have a Concealed Carry Permit?
4. pay taxes?
5. have a Marriage License( if married)?
If the answer to any of these questions is "yes" then maybe you should refrain from posting such nonsense.
