Gunsmithing for single stack AK to Double stack.

[SanDiegoMan]

You guys know any gunsmiths that could hog out a single stack npap to use double stack mags? I know, ill need a new bolt and headspacing. Honestly, im having reliability issues with the factory magazines.

If you do this be aware you will then have to comply with the federal law related to non sporting firearms and having to many imported parts. It's 922r. I'll post a link for you later. (Now updated)

Here is the link to check for compliance. You will need to install at least 6 US made parts on your rifle for compliance.

For you the easiest parts for you to change and stay in compliance will be to install the following US made parts:

Hammer
Trigger
Disconnector
Pistol Grip (not just a grip wrap)
Muzzle attachment

And maybe the stock.

Or Mag with a US made floor plate.


You can use parts from a magazine (mag body, Follower or floor plate) for three of the parts, however that will limit you to always using US made magazines.

I do this on some of my guns and have mags with US made floor plates they are easy to replace, and function as the originals.

I found a shop in phoenix AZ that'll do the work i want for $200. Now to look into 922r. I believe the FCG is tapco (usa made.) The mag i use will be american. Has a skeleton stock. I'll need to look into where it was made. I also have a tapco muzzle brake and Tapco M249 pistol grip. I have plenty of USA parts.

Sell it and buy the one you want

I did mine myself, with a Dremel. Looks like crap... but it works. Total cost: $0.00.

Has anybody ever been charged with violating 922r? Stupid laws

Don't know...

But it's real easy to make a rifle compliant.

Better to "beat the ride" than try to "beat the charge"...
