That's a good question. I'm not very knowledgeable on 922r stuff. I've never had to deal with it. But after looking at the elements of 922r, I don't see an issue. 922r prohibits the manufacture of the weapon with imported parts. There's nothing in there prohibiting the possession of such a weapon. Here is the text of 922r:
"(r) It shall be unlawful for any person to assemble from imported
parts any semiautomatic rifle or any shotgun which is identical to
any rifle or shotgun prohibited from importation under section
925(d)(3) of this chapter as not being particularly suitable for or
readily adaptable to sporting purposes except that this subsection
shall not apply to -
(1) the assembly of any such rifle or shotgun for sale or
distribution by a licensed manufacturer to the United States or
any department or agency thereof or to any State or any
department, agency, or political subdivision thereof; or
(2) the assembly of any such rifle or shotgun for the purposes
of testing or experimentation authorized by the Attorney General."
But it would also be good to hear from some experts on 922r.
I'll just note that 922r stuff is different from LEOSA and this is THREAD DRIFT....
