922r Compliance question

Does the U.S. parts requirement apply to all rifles manufactured or imported after 1989, or just those built on imported receivers? The reason I ask is that I'm considering having a Galil built on a U.S.-made CNC warrior receiver and need to know if I can just use the Israeli parts kits they sell or if I have to buy some us parts.

TIA for any info anyone can give.
 
As I understand it (based on FAL kits) if you build (not modify, but build) a rifle with non US listed parts then they count no matter what country they are from except the U.S. Its still "evile & foriegn", with a US. made receiver because the "evileness" of the foreign parts cant be diluted.

What using a U.S. Made receiver will do is reduce your parts count by one, but that's it.

This of course only applies to the "listed parts" which not everything is.
 
yes you need to consider 922r on a US receiver build.

The receiver is one of the listed parts, so it helps with your parts count.
 
(3) The repair of any rifle or shotgun which had been imported into or assembled in the United States prior to November 30, 1990, or the replacement of any part of such firearm.

Yup if it was here before the cutoff date 922(r) isn't relevant (provided you can prove the date.)

WE have to prove the date?! Who flipped the whole "burden of proof" thing around?

I may know somebody with an old SKS with a banana mag. Clearly the gun is pre-1990...how do you prove you had it prior to that in a state like AL where there's no registration?
 
I don't write 'em, I'm just stuck with 'em! (even when they make no sense):D

I know a lot of these time sensitive things are usually required to post a date of Mfr on the item, the logic being if it doesn't have a date it is pre-ban.:eek:

As for "burden of proof" & "reasonable doubt", shooters got worked over on that. Think "once a machine gun, always a machine gun", or "willful intent".

IIRC, a bananna mag does not automatically turn an SKS into a 922r weapon. It has to have other goodies like a pistol grip and flash suppressor. And in any case, you don't have to prove you had it prior to the ban, just that it was assembled prior to the ban.

In any case, I never knew that the cutoff year was 1990; I always thought it was '89. I guess you learn something new every day.
