Picked up a Maadi ARM at the local pusher today. Seems to be in almost new condition, save for a few marks where the mag scrapes the mag release. It is marked with a 93, so I'm assuming it was imported in 1993. It is an ACC/Intrac import. I'm wanting to get rid of the thumbhole stock (possibly a Romanian wire side folder??), as well as add a slant flash hider. What would be the best options for doing such? Any legal issues? |

It's not a problem as long as you don't exceed the number of foreign parts per 922(r), which is 10. I bought my Egyptian years ago and converted it to normal using a kit from First Son in Duluth, GA. It came with American black walnut furniture (3 compliance parts), US-made followers and mag floor plates (2 parts), and disconnector (1 part). I have since replaced the entire FCG with a Tapco kit (two more parts) and a US made slant brake. This allows me to use any AK magazine....stupid laws, but they are laws. Removing the tac-welded muzzle nut was extremely easy on mine. In fact, I just gripped it with some pliers and twisted. It takes more effort to open a can of spaghetti sauce. Here's what she looks like... http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v440/CarlosC/Guns/Rifles/Maadi.jpg |
