guys read the words of the post, not into it. I already know the really useless laws pertaining to the conversion of ak's to pre-ban style, and what a parts kit is. What i want to know is if the bulgarians cut their recievers, like half the other imported ak's, so they are unable to ever be converted back to a standard ak stock set. if they can be converted back to use a standard ak pistol grip stock with the proper american parts then i'll get one, if i'm stuck with the butthole stock forever then i think they are useless. Which way are they made?
