agreed we need to get another one on the books

 

[Psode27]

I'm in! I need to get some stuff heat treated, if someone has some experience in that it would be great! I have a few more projects I need to get done, getting together helps me get some ambition!

 

[TheWabbit]

I'm in too. Hopefully the Maadi and RPK will be done by then so I can just help out.

 

[Fawkes]

Lets get this going so we don't any of what we learned at the first build party. We learned alot.

 

[TheRude1]

Don't have anything to build but would love to sit in and lend a hand

 

[duffman0286]

just got the final last parts for my pkm build today so it might make a appearance this next event

 

[Chris08110]

Give me a date and I'm there. I missed the last one. Can't wait until another date is set.

I could be wrong but I don't think there was any heat treating at the last one. Doesn't mean it cant happen at the next one though!

You remember correctly. Lots of flats got bent, but nothing got heat treated.

 

[TheWabbit]

I'm up for it. Just need Clay, Duff, and IndyDave. I have a few more tools to help with more builds.

And it might help to have the MCFG approval if we go there again.

Does anyone know if the tapco hammer and trigger retaining plate counts as a US part?

Does anyone know if the tapco hammer and trigger retaining plate counts as a US part?

Nope. Copied / pasted this from elseware:

The 16 countable parts of an AK rifle. No more than 10 of these parts may be imported.

(1) Receiver
(2) Barrel
(3) Trunnion
(4) Muzzle attachments(flash hiders, brakes, barrel extensions, barrel nuts)
(5) Bolt
(6) Bolt carrier
(7) Gas piston
(8) Trigger
(9) Hammer
(10) Disconnecter
(11) Buttstock
(12) Pistol grip
(13) Forearm handguards
(14) Magazine body
(15) Follower
(16) Floorplate

The underlined parts are the most commonly available U.S. manufactured parts.

On a typical stamped receiver rifle you need to replace 5 parts with no muzzle attachment and 6 parts with a muzzle attachment.

On a typical milled recevier rifle you need to replace 4 parts with no muzzle attachment and 5 parts with a muzzle attachment, because there isn't a barrel trunion, it is part of the receiver.

When building an AK pistol, these regulations do not apply. You can not have a stock or forward pistol grip on a pistol.

I would add that I wouldn't want to consider the magazine one of your US parts, because what happens to the legal status of your rifle when it's removed? Stupid, trivial law that most likely will never be enforced, but I wouldn't want to be the first guy charged over it.

I could be mistaken, but I thought the trigger group counted as 3 parts.

 

[Clay]

They do. They are listed above:

(8) Trigger
(9) Hammer
(10) Disconnecter

No it doesn't count.

 

[vitamink]

Hammer yes, plate no.
