i really have no hard answer for this situation.

if it were an ar, i could just tell you to pitch the parts in the river.

however, the ak seems to get a different treatment. it's that '3rd hole' in the receiver that gets you in trouble.

i've never heard of anyone arrested/prosecuted for just having the select-fire ak parts laying around. i think the atf treats the 'intent to construct' (a machinegun) differently than the ar-15.

my 2 cents...keep them stored separately from the guns. unless you are building a post may dealer sample, sbr or such...odds are you won't be using them anyway.

bottom line, i really don't think you can find a law that says owning the pieces parts is illegal. it's lrgal for k-var to sell them to you and they are legal to possess.

I'd ask this in "Legal" on the AR side, I bet Steve in Va knows the answer to this one.

99% of all ak's out there use the full auto carrier.

all my ak's have select fire carriers, hammers, triggers and disconnectors.

none of my ak's have the right lower rails cut for the full auto sear, nor do they have the 3rd hole for said disconnector.
