I follow this line of thought. That being said I take the time to make sure my guns are compliant. It gives me peace of mind to take them to the range and use them.
It is fun to explain how stupid this law is to non-shooters. Makes no sense to the average Joe.
The only people it makes sense to are anti-gun politicians and domestic arms manufacturers like Colt.
So you buy a used Kalashnikov and you can tell by pawing it that all the parts inside and mounted equal a 922(r) compliance weapon considering most parts don’t have a roll mark of any kind no matter where the origin?
I try to refrain from purchasing these used guns. Almost have to be a psychic fortune teller to know the truth… Or maybe bring one with you as an informant. Haha!!
US parts are generally marked pretty well.
I realized just how silly 922r is when I converted a saiga 7.62x39. It’s been a few years ago so I hope I’m remembering correctly.
Due to my parts count I had to have a surefire 30 round mag (or any US made mag) in the rifle to be legal. If I inserted the oem 10 round russian mag into the gun I was immediately a criminal. So I sold the 10 rounder to someone.
I don’t think anyone pays much attention to 922r, but if local up to federal law enforcement has a hard on for you it’s something else they can charge you with once they charge in and start digging through your gun safe. Same as if your ar breaks on the range and starts doubling or tripling.
