Now that I've had some sleep there is an exemption in the NFA for some historically significant pistols that are equipped with the shoulder stocks they were originally issued with. Mauser C96 "Broomhandles" and Browning HPs come to mind. They are considered "Curios and Relics" and are on a list specifically exempting them from the SBR provisions of the NFA. An AK pistol, however, is extremely unlikely to get on that list in our lifetime. You also have to deal with state laws as well, even though the feds consider it not an SBR, state law might.
The ATF list for pistols with stocks is very stingy in the types it allows. Like in the case of Lugers it's only certain countries and years. It's an interesting and annoying read at the same time.
Like Kernel says anything new would be an SBR.
One way to make your AK pistol more "rifle like" is to install a loop type sling attached to the rear trunnion. Looped around your shoulder and adjusted properly you can hold the pistol like you would a rifle and pull forward on the gun to tighten up the sling. Not as good as a true stock but it will get the sights out where they were intended to be and give more stabilty with a 3 point mount than just holding it up with your hands.
I would like to see the Fed law about swithblades. I carry one all the time . They are listed as a dangerous weapon in my state and my Permit allows guns and dangerous weapons and the list for dangerous weapons cover alot of stuff from martial arts stuff to Bazokas swords and ab out anything else you can think of that could kill or really hurt someone
Right,I have a BOKER Kalashnikov 74 I carry everyday in Ohio more as a tool then a weapon. It has a 3.5 inch blade.Out dated laws suck.

Fed law essentially prohibits the interstate sale of switchblades, but in-state sales are legal if they were made there. Most states have their own laws, apparently West Side Story had a profound effect on our lawmakers back in the day! Exceptions to the fed law include LE and military, and one armed men.

"Whoever knowingly introduces, or manufactures for introduction,
into interstate commerce, or transports or distributes in
interstate commerce, any switchblade knife, shall be fined not more
than $2,000 or imprisoned not more than five years, or both."
"Whoever, within any Territory or possession of the United States,
within Indian country (as defined in section 1151 of title 18), or
within the special maritime and territorial jurisdiction of the
United States (as defined in section 7 of title 18), manufactures,
sells, or possesses any switchblade knife, shall be fined not more
than $2,000 or imprisoned not more than five years, or both."
"Sections 1242 and 1243 of this title shall not apply to -
(1) any common carrier or contract carrier, with respect to any
switchblade knife shipped, transported, or delivered for shipment
in interstate commerce in the ordinary course of business;
(2) the manufacture, sale, transportation, distribution,
possession, or introduction into interstate commerce, of
switchblade knives pursuant to contract with the Armed Forces;
(3) the Armed Forces or any member or employee thereof acting
in the performance of his duty; or
(4) the possession, and transportation upon his person, of any
switchblade knife with a blade three inches or less in length by
any individual who has only one arm."
Yeah, parts are legal to ship, and you would be the manufacturer so as long as state law says OK. Little secret, all Boker "toplock" style folders are actually switchblades minus the spring. Several places online sell the springs for a few bucks, drop it in and "snikt"! The switchblade version usually sells for double and the only difference is a $3 spring and 5 minutes work.
