Full Auto AKS-74

**BigAl** · 03-26-2009, 08:53 AM

This started life as a Polytech AKS 223 RPK. I sent it along with a new Bulgarian AKS-74 kit to Troy at Inrange for the conversion to 5.45..

Rifle is a blast to shoot. Very controllable and accurate.

First, beyond perfect weapon. Can't see a flaw on it.
Did the weapon start out as a pre 1986 and a 07 is allowed to do a reconfiguration to 5.45?
Guys have posted the rules on NFA weapons and I guess I am getting old and senile. Still confused.
So if I purchase a legal full auto, can I send it to someone like "project guns" 07 for a conversion? Keeping the weapon legal with those serial numbers.
I guess what my confusing question is asking is does the license stay with a legal full auto and a 07 is allowed to reconfigure it.
If I read these ATF, NFA rules one more time I am going to have a nervous friggen breakdown.
Thanks for any answers on this confusing rules issue.

If you buy a registered MG, you can send it out for whatever work you like. Not sure what paperwork would be needed (if any) for a caliber change.

There have been many folks with registered AKs send them out for a "rebuild" (to a new kit) or a caliber change.

Yes, an 07 can do anything you like with it.

Thanks!

It was a pre '86 transferable.

Congratulations on an investment that can only appreciate. And be greatly appreciated by whoever owns or shoots it! Color me jealous

Just got back to this post. Very interesting.
Thank you for the answers guys.
kinda had my fill of full auto in the Military. Hell my M-16 had two positions.
Safe and Full

Spray and pray.
The 3 round burst was a super great idea the Military implemented. Makes sense, as a Soldier would get much more control to stay on target with the 3 round burst.
Super nice weapon BigAl.
Those who invested in the pre 86s, are making money everyday with there investment.
Oh for a time machine.
