AK building legality

[daekken]

I've never heard of that, If you weld something that was cut in half back together it doesn't magically become new?

In the ATF's eyes if you reweld "chunks of metal" - i.e., what the cut up receiver would be if deactivated per ATF specs, then you are now manufacturing a receiver. In other words, it's now a new receiver created out of scrap metal.

if it's welded properly there's no way to tell except maybe under a microscope

I actually messaged him to see if he was selling all those "shovels" for 500

I have a shovel that was issued to my late Father just after WWII when he did some work for a Metro-Boston area town that I'll let go for $500. And I'll ask Boris to connect with you on how to convert it to an AK-47.

Extreme DIY: Man makes AKM from a shovel

A modernized version of the legendary AK-47, the AKM is probably one of the most prolific rifles in the world. First entering service with the Soviet Army in 1959, the AKM (which is often mistakenly referred to as an “AK-47”) served the Soviet Union until the 1970s, when it was...

Built using a post-94 receiver: comply with MA AWB (limited evil features)

Built using a pre-94 receiver: no need to comply with MA AWB

Built with 80% receiver: STFU

''Assault weapon'', shall have the same meaning as a semiautomatic assault weapon as defined in the federal Public Safety and Recreational Firearms Use Protection Act, 18 U.S.C. section 921(a)(30) as appearing in such section on September 13, 1994, and shall include, but not be limited to, any of the weapons, or copies or duplicates of the weapons, of any caliber, known as: (i) Avtomat Kalashnikov (AK) (all models)

I'm surprised nobody else that knows better has chimed in. Hate to break it to you, but the AK ban is pretty all encompassing. So it's really pre-94 or illegal. I'm just making sure you are aware of the written law. I don't much care what you do with in your tool shed. That is your business though.

Isn't that the same as the Colt AR-15 section? There were new AK pattern firearms made during the ban, no?

Hi, Maura

That's some retarded logic.

On the other hand though that would mean if I take a cut receiver and weld it together with no shoulder stock I can turn any rifle I want into a "pistol" with a short barrel?

You’ll need a registration stamp too when completed. Simply bring the newly completed rifle to an official location and declare your firearm at the security checkpoint. They’ll escort you from there…don’t forget your mask, you can never be too careful with all the crazies out there..

$1820 just for the receiver after shipping and CC fees.. what would it cost to finish it? Another $1k?

For a non-heat treated receiver, no less. Take the money you’d spend on this POS and put it toward moving to NH.
