    AK pistol muzzle brake install

    Okay, I asked a couple questions in the picture thread that were answered already, but I'm still confused a little, so I thought I'd move it out here.

    I want install a different muzzle device on my Draco AK pistol, but I thought threaded barrel's on pistols was a no-no here. I don't want to temporarily create an AW when I take the barrel nut off and replace it with my brake AND if I replace it with the brake, but DON'T tac-weld the new brake into place.

    I was told that it's fine, because the AK pistol has a fixed magazine, which negates all of the "evil feature" problems.

    Well, if that's the case, then why do they have to tac-weld the nut on there in order to DROS it? Also, if there are no "evil feature" problems, then why don't people put forward grips on their AR/AK pistols?

    I have read the PC on this, but maybe there is another piece I am missing? (I'm assuming there is)

    Can someone please point out the relevant PC and/or just explain real quick-like? Thanks!

    Notwithstanding PC section 12276, assault weapon shall
    also mean the following: Pistols

    (4) A semiautomatic pistol that has the capacity to accept a
    detachable magazine and any one of the following:

    (A) A threaded barrel, capable of accepting a flash suppressor, forward handgrip, or silencer.
    (B) A second handgrip.
    (C) A shroud that is attached to, or partially or completely encircles, the
    barrel that allows the bearer to fire the weapon without burning his or
    her hand, except a slide that encloses the barrel.
    (D) The capacity to accept a detachable magazine at some location
    outside of the pistol grip.

    (5) A semiautomatic pistol with a fixed magazine that has the capacity to accept more than 10 rounds.

    Don't know why they have to Tac weld it before entering the US. The forward grip ia a Federal limitation.

      Not sure, perhaps a federal importation issue.

      Also, if there are no "evil feature" problems, then why don't people put forward grips on their AR/AK pistols?
      because, in ATF's opinion it would now be an AOW, and a federal felony to possess if you didn't have the proper tax stamp.

      If you really want the VFG on it, you can get the proper tax stamp in CA.

      Do you want an AOW or C&R SBS/SBR in CA?

        Okay, thanks guys - forgot about the Federal side of things. NOW it's all clear!
