Need help with "de-banning" my AK

addpillz
Hello,
I have just recieved a kit to deban by thumbhole stock SAR-1 AK-47.I removed the Thumbhole stock and added a Tapco Stock. Now, when I went to add the pistol grip, I find that the ak is missing something for the grip to grab on to. I did some research and found out that it is missing a "pistol grip nut" I beleive. I have no idea which one I should get or how to install it. If anyone can help me out I would really appreciate it!

    United States Court of Appeals,
    Seventh Circuit.
    TRADER VIC'S LTD, an Indiana Corporation[FN1] and Victor L. Reid, Sr. Plaintiffs-Appellants,
    v.
    Paul H. O'NEILL, Secretary of Department of Treasury. Defendant-Appellee.

    (charge) 4. Attaching bayonets to SKS rifles. This violates 18 U.S.C. ? 922(r).




    United States Court of Appeals,
    Ninth Circuit.
    UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Appellee,
    v.
    Ted Parker FIX, Appellant.
    No. 99-30235.
    1999.

    STATEMENT OF FACTS

    At the time of the offenses, appellant was the owner of a gun store in Lakewood, Washington. On January 8, 1998, appellant purchased two Norinco SKS assault rifles, serial numbers 8002356 and 8109223, from Nationwide Sports Distributors. See E.R. H62. Nationwide had purchased the guns on May 3, 1994 and May 5, 1994 respectively. See E.R. H66. Nationwide shipped the rifles to appellant with wooden stocks and permanent 10-round magazines. See E.R. H62-63. In early 1998, at appellant's direction, Jason Caputo, an employee in appellant's gun store, replaced the Norincos' stocks with folding ones. See E.R. H70-72, 123. Around the same time, Caputo added a folding stock to and removed a permanent magazine from a third Norinco SKS, serial number W2289. See E.R. H70-72. Appellant testified at trial that this third rifle was also manufactured before 1994. See E.R. H107.

    *5 On April 8, 1998, Lieutenant Joseph Kirby of the City of Tacoma Police Department, working undercover in conjunction with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, bought the Norinco SKS with serial number 8002356 from appellant at appellant's gun store. See E.R. H27-28. The gun was equipped with a folding stock and bayonet mount. Appellant modified it in Kirby's presence to accept an extended-capacity detachable magazine. See E.R. H28-29, 81-82. On April 27, 1998, Heith Holden, another Tacoma police officer working undercover with the Bureau, purchased the Norinco with serial number 8109223 from appellant. See E.R. H53-55. The weapon also came with a folding stock and bayonet mount and accepted high-capacity detachable magazines. See E.R. H55, 81-82. Appellant had obtained the accessories added to the rifles from wholesalers. See E.R. at H111.

    Following these purchases, Special Agent Benjamin Silva of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms executed a search warrant at appellant's store, where he found the Norinco SKS rifle with serial number W2289. See E.R. H81-82. Agent Silva also found a nine millimeter Calico Liberty III pistol in appellant's store, to which a foregrip and laser site had been added. See E.R. H82-83. *6 Appellant confirmed at trial that the Calico was his, see E.R. H119, and stated that he had bought the foregrip and laser site, see E.R. H112, and had installed the laser site himself, see E.R. H120.

    At trial, Agent Silva testified that, with the foregrip attached, the Calico was a two-handed weapon. See E.R. H90. Officer Michael Cooney, also with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, testified that, with the addition of the foregrip, the Calico is a two-handed weapon and therefore not a pistol. See E.R. H98-02. Officer Cooney further explained that, because of the way it was mounted, use of the laser site in firing the gun would require two hands. See E.R. H103. The defendant testified that he had fired the Calico both one-and two-handed, see E.R. H119; confirmed that, in installing the laser site, he envisioned firing the gun two-handed, see E.R. H120; and suggested, apparently in reference to the foregrip, that "t could be a counter-balance" against the weight of the gun, see E.R. H122.

    Not correct. You need to have the correct number of US parts in total once you altered configuration. Just because the parts you installed where US made does not make you legal until the correct number of parts in total is replaced.

    The Sar 1 came into the US in 2 forms. US pistol grip and normal stocks or thumbhole stock.

    Field strip your Sar 1. Look at the hammer, trigger, and disconnector aka FCG of Fire Contol Group. If there is a raised leter "C" on the side of them then they are US made parts. "C" is for Century.

    Century never marked their US made gas pistons. They are US made though.

    As long as you keep a US made pistol grip on the rifle and have a US made fire control group, with the Century un-marked piston you are good to go.

    I would recommend you replace the "C" marked Century FCG with a Tapco G2 Single Hook FCG as the Century FCG's suck. The G2 has a helluva alot smoother, lighter trigger pull and will cure the trigger slap Century FCG's are know for.

    With the G2 make sure you install that small sleeve that comes with the FCG. You might also want to pick up a Tapco FCG retainer plate as it makes re-installing the FCG alot easier.

    Good website for Romanian AK owners is:
    http://www.gunsnet.net/Linx310/faq.htm

    I recommend you read everything on that site, there are alot of helpful tips on there and it goes into detail FCG removal should you get a G2.

    I have a single hook G2 in my Sar-1 and double hook G2's in the 4 Romy G's I built.
