    Question.

    I ran across a 9" AK pistol part kit.
    I was wondering, if I brought the kit and completely assembled it.......
    would it be a SBR or a pistol?

    I dont know, but that kit is sweet!
    We will cut our enemies down in droves
    Our fires will be the substance of their nightmares
    The fields of the dead shall serve as evidence of our passing




    And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts
    And I looked and behold, a pale horse
    And his name that sat on him was Death
    And Hell followed with him.

    If built on a virgin or pistol receiver it could easily be a legal pistol, if you do the stamps and add the ability to take a shoulder stock a SBR.

    At this point it's nothing but a collection of parts, it can be almost anything you build it as.

    AMD-65 fits with no mods. I'm thinking of a rail system to mod and rail covers.
    I might remove the AK front sight and install an AR version.



    The kit came from ak-builder Gonzo.

    Just remember no forward pistol grips on a pistol build...

    I find it odd you have the ability to make a receiver from a flat but didn't know you could legally build a pistol. Now be honest were you sand bagging us with this question and just showing off a b!tch'in pistol kit?

    Nah, I forgot a few of the rules/laws.
    Metal bending is easy, trying to stay up to date with atf is a different story.

    Since you are bending the receiver, just make sure that the rear is sealed with no obvious attempt at adding a rear tang. Also since you are bending it, my 2 cents would be to etch "Pistol" into the receiver. Can't be too safe when dealing with a group that ignores the constitution.

    I think I'm gonna stamp "Pistol" into it and "U.S.A." on parts that doesn't have anything on them.
    I'm gonna weld the back and grind smooth.

    Your kit comes with a nice pistol rear trunnion, it even has what looks like a quick disconnect attachment point. There's really no need to weld up a nice rear trunnion like that, all you need to do is make it so it can't readily accept a shoulder stock...

    Nice kit!
    IIRC
    You don’t have to worry about USA made parts on a pistol. That only applies to rifles.

    It's a good habit to have.
    Who knows, they might change that rule today.
