922 question

squirrelblaster · 10-30-2009, 10:14 PM

are all us made parts marked us made?

when i bought this ak i was told that the gas piston was us made........

but i was just looking at it and it does not say so anywhere on it.......

how can i tell if it is?

same question with the front trunion.........

Some parts are not marked. This leaves you with the burden of proof. Most gas pistons i've seen are not marked.

squirrelblaster · 10-30-2009, 10:41 PM

also a follow up question....... anyone know anywhere that sells mag followers and floor plate for ak74s? us made of course

p.s
thanks steve, im thinkin im just going to add a couple extra us made parts just be sure, i dont want to have to deal with the burden of proof

this is why no tool box is complete without a good set of steel stamping dies.

^that's what I was thinking. I need to get some.

SB, the parts can be marked with something other than US as well, Century marks with a circle "C" and they are US made parts. As far as the magazine parts, check K-Var, I believe they have all the parts.

If you purchased it from the importer, or your dealer did, you can probably safely assume it is in 922(r) compliance. What type of rifle is it? All you need for compliance is trigger group (3 parts) and US stock set (2 parts, 3 with pistol grip).

its my romak 2 ak74, and i bought it from a pawn shop, so..........

well my stock set is not us made becouse i changed it to a romanian one....

but anyways i went to a gun show today and bought a 922r package for $45 came with us marked pistol grip, tapco g2 trigger set, and a us marked gas piston so i should be good for sure now

Has anyone ever had a gun checked for Compliance Parts ?

By an official authority?

Only time I have ever heard of anyone having a rifle checked is when they were in some sort of trouble.

squirrelblaster · 10-31-2009, 03:30 PM

i dont know if anyone has ever been check or charged for it, but i want to be on the up and up no matter what.

ps............ shepard hooks are the tool of the devil!

Ya, the Red Star Arms axis plates are much easier to use. Give them a call if you ever order from them though. THey apparently run two different companies and the Red Star orders have to wait to be sent over to the business that actually has the parts so if you order from the other you get faster shipping

Cussing, lots of cussing, and if you can do it in Romanian so much the better.

Seriously, I think that's all there is to it.

Take a punch or phillips head and give them a good solid smack with a hammer.

Deussne · 10-31-2009, 04:57 PM

Copes distributing has us made floorplates for ak-74 mags. Maybe I should not advertize it so I can buy more of them myself.. LOL
Also, lets say you start with a forgein part and modify it a lot for something, would it be considered a US part after a lot of work went in to in in the USA?

Ya sometimes it requires a really good pounding. The first time I replaced the trigger on my WASR I ended up leaving indents in the pins I had to hit it so hard to knock them loose.

squirrelblaster · 10-31-2009, 09:40 PM

thanks man, some how i missed them on copes.....

i really really hate shepard hooks....... i cant say that enough.

im going to order a retaining plate in the morning.

ive been stuggling with this 922r convertion....... the problem has not been putting things on the gun. more getting stuburn pins out of the dang gun. then having to deal with this shepard hook frustrated me to the point of wanting to turn this thing into scrap metal......
