KFI SA85M (hungarian)

[drdanno84]

I have a registered KFI (Kassnar-flas imports) ak47 that I purchased 7 years ago and registered it with the doj. I cannot find this particular model on the assault weapons banned list and am thinking of selling it after I remove the pistol grip.
Does anyone know if this is legal to do?. This is the model:

I believe that if you registered this rifle as a AW with the DOJ. It will always now be considered such in this state.

Incorrect, if the rifle is not listed and registered as a "AW", he can remove the "AW" features and sell it. Although, why would he do that is beyond me since he has a registered "AW" which is priceless in this commie state.

You are correct.... He can submit paperwork to cancel the AW status, checked the DOJ website. I think better to submit cancellation before selling the rifle.

Stevie is incorrect, other posters are correct.

A non-'listed' registered AW (that is, not listed on either Kasler or Roberti-Roos lists) can be de-registered with DOJ *after* sufficient evil features are removed.

Before any shipment or sale is made, the AW-triggering evil feature(s) need to be removed.

Actually, since this is a Category III AW, it can have evil features be removed and then shipped to FFL even though still reg'd as an AW. But it's prob a good idea to deregister anyway if you were to sell it.

HOWEVER - I must say... you'll only get a couple of hundred bucks at most outta this gun; you're absolutely SILLY to sell it. Although good guns, these are fairly common in other states - and the ability to legally use such a gun with all its features intact is something many here would pay THOUSANDS for if they could (as well ownership of the related hicap mags).

Don't sell it!!!

Change of heart!!

Thanks for the information, I've decided to keep it even though I don't fire it much an tend to shoot my registered bushmaster ar-15's more at the range.

Good decision. We need to keep all the reg'd AWs in CA we can just so folks still know about their existence.

That's funny, this is basically the same question I asked about this exact rifle after joining this board months ago. Needless to say, I got the same advice. I have kept it and have swapped out the FCG for US made parts so I can put on the proper pistol grip and stock(albeit also US made.) Finally getting to have a LEGALLY OWNED AK that actually looks like an AK made it worth keeping. Not to mention being able to thumb my nose in the direction of the gun-grabbing wankers.

So the Hungarian SA-85 was never listed? Interesting. How did they miss that?

This was the only thumbhole stock that ever felt right to me. Never bought one. Wish I had when they were in the $300 range.

wow ... they were that CHEAP

[savasyn]

Yeah, I think I paid $325 or $375 at Turners of all places. They'd throw me out if I tried to bring it back in the door these days!

My SA-85 was about 400.00

My MAK90 with all acc. and 1 10 rd and 1 30rd mag was $169.59 at B&B in Westminster back in oh like.....oh a long time ago.

I highly recommend you do not do this. An AK47 can be quite useful in todays society for home defense.
