It is my understanding that putting a forearm pistol grip on a WASR-10 is legal. Is this so?

He's talking about a forearm pistol grip
In general, it's legal on any long gun, but i'm not sure if there's a 922 issue here. Someone will be along shortly to Scriv me and answer your question.
There is a lot of ambiguity as to whether a forearm pistol grip is included in the definition of 'a pistol grip that protrudes conspicuously beneath the action of the weapon' in the AWB. I would err on the side of caution. Anyway, it doesn't matter if it is or isn't defined as such until you want to take the rear pistol grip off and replace it with some other evil feature.
I think the ambiguity is long gone as at the present time there doesn't seem to be any legal action by the AG against the many gun owners here that have the contraptions on their ARs (that's not to say that the powers that be can't suddenly change their mind).
Why would there be any legal action either way? Who has an AR that DOESN'T have the rear pistol grip, but DOES have a forward pistol grip? I'd reckon the answer is zero. Go tell the AG's office you've got a flash suppressor and forward pistol grip, but no rear pistol grip, and see what they say. Given their love of all things firearm, you think they wouldn't try to angle it? Maybe not, but I'm not betting on it.
"evil black rifle" owners in this state have been adding foward pistol grips to their firearms all these years with not a single peep from the AG.
Assuming he already has a rear pistol grip, adding the forward one is a non issue AWB-wise.
Yep. I'm still not sure about the 922r compliance though, I think that's the bigger issue.

Wouldn't the front grip just have to be made in the US then? Otherwise you'd have to replace some other parts to put an imported forward grip on the rifle?
