[QUOTE][Surplus military firearms classified as curios or relics must be in their original military configuration to qualify for importation/QUOTE]
actually it seems to me that the last three words of the law are the ones that have the most weight. they say "qualify for importation" the law does not cover mods to a C&R. I think this is why atf allows the CA "legal" yugo 59/66 to have the grenade launcher removed and replaced. IT is also why you need to comply with the 922r 10 or less rule to build AK's from kits. As ak's are not readily adaptable for sporting purposes according to atf. maybe I'm barking up the wrong tree but I have read the rule many times and it still seems as though the 50 yr rule supercedes the original config. rule for changing a guns parts.the 50 year rule is addressed first so it has more weight in law so it would seem.
