    Draco pistol --> Rifle conversion Q's.

    By forever converting a Draco pistol to rifle, does doing so trigger 922r? do i now need to have a minimum amount of US made parts?

    tried searching, but could not find a clear answer.

    Cheers,

      Yes, 922(r) specifically applies to rifles not in imported configuration. Now, I don't know if there are any US parts in a Draco, so you'd want to check that out.

          Yes.

            Why on earth would you even consider it? Re-barreling AK's isn't exactly easy.

              rebarreling? im thinking about perm. attaching a fake suppressor. I saw 69Mach1 had one done about a month ago. he sent the Draco with parts to convert to someone, and it was sent back as a rifle.

              This is just for a fun gun, thought it would be cool for the Krink look, without spending alot of money.

                It's not exactly hard either.

                Your still gonna spend the cash that it would cost you to buy 2 Dracos.

                  You'd honestly be out the same amount of money you would be if you bought a krink kit and put it together at a build party.

                    Yes, 922(r) applies because you are manufacturing a semi-automatic rifle (from imported parts) which would normally be "prohibited from importation under section 925(d)(3) as not being particularly suitable for, or readily adaptable, to sporting purposes".

                    A Draco is exempt from 922(r) regulations because it is a pistol, but they come to us from Century, fitted with the Tapco G2 FCG, to fix a problem with the original FCG. There was a Draco recall last year due to this issue: http://www.centuryarms.com/notice/Dr...ury%20Arms.pdf

                          I did the same thing 69mach1 did...call it krink envy, and just picked up another Draco for another conversion. the stock cost more than the conversion did and now that he has a welder...it'll just be time and labor.

                          Draco's are originally SBR's with a pistol truinnion put in for the US market. Putting a stock and perm pinning a fake hider is just restoring it back to it's original condition.

                          But yes, once it's converted to a rifle 922r applies.

                              Turning a legally owned AK pistol into a rifle makes me sad for some reason. L
