My Idea of an AK with no military characteristics

[Ben Ghazi]

just thinking out loud but if a person took a common Saiga rifle and removed the mag catch , then tack welded a 75 rd drum
this new rifle would have no pistol grip , no detachable mag , no threaded barrel , no folding stock , no bayonet lug , or any of the other evil stuff that makes it a deadly assault rifle = Right ?

Hi Cap Mag=FAIL!! Good thinking tho.

Unless they changed something I missed, the mag release / detachable mag does not count as “evil”


EDIT> at least in the State / County / Town that I live in .... neither does a drum

I like it , kinda like the concept of a Ruger Mini .

guess I missed that , OK so we tack weld a plate inside that only allows the given amount of rounds the local liberals decide is the max your allowed to have = low capacity / non detachable mag !!!!!!!

then when the $hit hits the fan you drag out the dremel tool or grinder .

Wouldn't it be easier to get an SKS and put on a bigger box mag... then you have something you can load quickly with stripper clips and is more accurate than an AK. (in some places, the way the law is written, the capacity limits only end up applying to detachable mags.)

First, understand I do not know your level of knowledge or understanding on the topic. If aware of the following information, please forgive and ignore. When I bought a Saiga for a bush rifle, I was researching them and kind of fell into researching the whole conversion this.

Actually, if you are looking into keeping compliance with CR922, the high capacity mag alone may not be illegal. I know they make and sell 30 round Saiga mags, and those are not an issue. May be made in the USA, but I believe the issue with the banned imports is two or more of the targeted "bad" features/items.

This site has a lot of information on it, and appears to have links to the pertinent statutes and regulations.

A separate search for CR 922 compliance will offer more reading.

like I said , I was just thinking out loud and reacting to Diane Frankenstein's proposed Ban even if it goes no where

"All semiautomatic rifles that can accept a detachable magazine and have at least one military feature: pistol grip; forward grip; folding, telescoping, or detachable stock; grenade launcher or rocket launcher; barrel shroud; or threaded barrel"

my thought was on how to get around the detachable magazine ban with an AK

 

[RackinRay]

I believe it would, just as a 30 round in it now from ANY maker does, since it has no other "evil" features listed.

Sks has always been on the ban list. You would be tempted to think that the gun grabbers realized how fast it can be reloaded from stripper clips....but probably not....more likely the pointy thing on the end scares them.
One saving grace is that some of the European models might be considered antiques...and might be spared. The revered norincos would not be spared....damn china...
