I have an NHM90. I installed a Tapco g2 trigger group, a tapco gas piston, a fiberforce stock, and a threaded tapco slant brake. Is the gun compliant yet ? From what I understant the brake must be tac welded on just like the ugly mettle pipe that I ground off to reveil the threads. If it needs welded on which way does it need to slant ? Does the fiberforce stock count as 3 parts ? The stock and pistol grip are one piece on this stock. Thanks in advance for any input. |

Unless you really want a fiberforce stock then swap it out for a seperate pistol grip and buttstock. Then you should be good to go on compliance parts. The SAW type pistol grip is really an imporvement over the basic AK grip so you might want to try that. Not sure how many parts the fiberforce stock would count since it incorporates both the grip and the buttstock. You could contact ATF , but then their interpretation of the law seems to change daily.

Is this a fiberforce thumbhole stock? If it is you need no compliance parts. Pistol grip stockset? Then you need a certain number of compliance parts based on whether the rifle is stamped or milled receiver. Stamped receiver needs 6 US compliance parts with the threaded muzzle and you don't need to weld the slant brake on if you have the correct number of compliance parts and don't live in a area with a current AWB like NY. As far as I know at least seven states have some form of assault weapons ban in place. Five Ohio cities had some form of ban: Cleveland, Cincinnati, Dayton, Toledo, and Dublin. Do you live in one of these areas? Supposedly, in 2006 these gun laws were thrown out but you should check on your local laws. If you are using a US made stockset with separate buttstock, pistol grip and handguards they count as 3 US parts. A Tapco fire control group counts as 3 US made parts. Tapco gas piston 1 US part Tapco slant brake 1 US part |

Hey Rainbow and Mac , thanks for the input. My NHM90 stamped receiver is the folding butstock style with a closed rear trunion, as in no hole in the end. It has a tang on the end for a stock and the fiber force stock fits nice and tight. So most but stocks don't work on this reciever. Calling the atf ?? that sounds a little scary to me. If I could put a Tapco stock set on it I would. I don't want to alter the receiver in any way. I have seen a few web sites that say to weld the usa brake on because it's a post ban gun. |
It's not preban either. It is considered postban as far as a Chinese rifle is concerned. The 1989 ban banned the importation of rifles from China and other countries with evil features. But by adding the correct number of US compliances parts the rifle essentially becomes a US built rifle so that you can do as you wish with it (Much like Canadian built cars are considered US built if they meet a certain % of US parts). Since Ohio does not have a state wide Assault Weapon Ban you can have whatever evil features you want on the rifle if permitted by your local ordinances. The federal AWB has been dead since 1994 so as long as you install the correct compliance parts in your rifle you can have a threaded barrel. As far as I know any of Ohio's local Assault Weapon Ban's were overturned in court back a couple of years ago, but I could be wrong. Ask in the Ohio Home Town forum. There is no federal law that pertains to whether you have threads or not on the barrel of your rifle. I used the postban example to show you that you can now have threaded barrels as long as compliance parts are installed. That is as easy as I can make it for you to understand. |
