If 922r didn't exist. I find most the parts I buy are US made anyhow, with exception to magazines. So I guess it is kind of irrelevant. Perhaps the 922r would of had the impact that the liberal gun grabbers were aiming for had no US companies began manufacturing parts for these bad rifles.
Funny thing, I was watching the Military Channel and about an hour ago there was a commercial for IO Inc.! They had some Army babe firing off one of their AK's and gave a whole spiel about how they produce some of the finest US made AK-47's. I thought it was funny as it was the first time I have ever seen a commercial for an AK-47, at least in this country
