Wondering what parts and ways to make a german kit 922 parts compliant.
What have you guys done?Will be a rifle till my paperwork gets done. Figure I might as well go rifle instead of pistol so I can install the correct parts now and go the SBR route at a later date. Any good places to look for american made parts? Thanks for any info. |

Quoted:
I may be wrong but you wont have to make the parts kit compliant cause it will be built on an american flat hence an american gun. American gun as long as it has no more than 10 foreign parts. The American flat is only one part, so yes it has to be 922r compliant. |

Quoted:
You should probably make it into a pistol. This way you don't have to worry about compliance parts for now and you can use an original MP5 barrel. When it comes time to SBR, just need to swap out 5 more parts. I always thought you could convert a pistol to a rifle (or SBR) but you cannot convert a rifle to a pistol. Am I wrong? |

Rifle can only go to SBR, never to pistol The OP is building a MP5 from a parts kit so it was never a rifle or a pistol. So building a pistol out of a folded piece of metal will be fine. If he buys a receiver, it will be registered as just a receiver - neither rifle nor pistol so could go either way in his build. |

That's basically what I did. I bought a Dakota Tactical D54P-N (pistol with threaded "Navy" barrel) and shot it as a pistol, sling-assisted, until I got my tax stamp. The pistol had an RCM barrel, BCG and other US-made parts already so it was good to go as far as the SBR conversion. Contact Joe (aka Chopstix Kid) on HKPro.com and ask him about building a US parts pistol. Tell him programmatore/Gary sent you.

Rifle can only go to SBR, never to pistol This is one and the same. A rifle will always be a rifle since it was designed to fire from the shoudler by adding a shoulder stock. A rifle which is converted to a pistol configuration is still legally a rifle and must maintain longer than 16" barrel and longer 26" OAL or it becomes an NFA firearm, an SBR. A pistol can becomes a rifle simply by adding a buttstock, however doing so permanently makes that firearm a "rifle". The Mech-Tech carbine uppers are good examples of this issue, if not a scandalous one. You can legally add the upper to one of your Glock or 1911 pistol frames, but doing so means you can no longer return to the pistol configuration unless you have registered that pistol as an SBR. Unfortunately, this is mostly unknown to Mech Tech owners. |

I'm thinking of building it as a rifle so when I do SBR it-All I'll have to do is
remove the barrel ext. and be good to go.Figure it will save me in the end. So what is best?Hammer,trigger ,sear,barrel ext.,receiver and cocking handle??????? or are any of these hk parts worth keeping and look at others? |

If you build it as a pistol you dont have to remove anything to sbr it, all you do is ADD a stock. |
