Frequently Asked Questions

What is 922r compliance for firearms?

922r compliance is a federal regulation limiting the number of imported parts on certain semi-automatic firearms configured in a 'non-sporting' manner. An imported rifle can have no more than 10 imported parts from a list of 20 regulated components.

How many regulated parts are on an AK-47 for 922r?

An AK-47 typically has 16 federally regulated parts under 922r. This number decreases to 15 if the rifle does not have a muzzle brake. To be compliant in a non-sporting configuration, at least 6 parts must be US-made.

What are common US-made parts for AK-47 922r compliance?

Common US-made parts for compliance include the Tapco Intrafuse stock, pistol grip, and handguard, each counting as one part. A Tapco trigger group kit provides three parts (trigger, hammer, sear). Replacing an imported magazine with a US-made one adds three more parts.

Can I use imported magazines on a 922r compliant AK-47?

Yes, once your AK-47 is 922r compliant (typically by having 10 or fewer imported regulated parts), you are legally allowed to use imported magazines. Achieving compliance often involves replacing key components with US-made alternatives.
