Regulations?

[Paletiger13]

Can I make a AK74 pistol from my NoDakSpud receiver? Wondering what the regulations are? Any input people?

Unless it's listed as a pistol, I think it would bew a violation of the law. I'm not sure but I did ask the question about a receiver that I bought as a rifle recevier and wanted to make an Ar pistol. Said it was a big NO NO.

Someone with more knowledge (AKA FFL) will be along to give correct info.

I'm moving this to the Class III forum where it belongs.

Build one on a flat?

[Paletiger13]

Nodak spud receiver is what I've got. It's never been built on. I had it transfered and did the background check(tics)

[Paletiger13]

Im still in compliance. Lots of reading actually paid off.

Depends on how the receiver was 4473'd to you. If you bought it as a pistol lower your good to go, can build rifle or pistol. If you bought it as a rifle it's always a rifle and trying to make it a pistol will result in jail time if caught with it. That's how the law is on lowers as I have been told and understand it. It's possible an FFL could change the class since it hasn't been built yet, but I think it's once a rifle always a rifle, once a pistol can be either.

That's what I was getting at - the Nodak receiver is already registered as a rifle, and if he did his own flat, it can be either.

yeah, sbr it is. Is there anyone here that is an expert on ak builds? Inrange is out the question(full on orders)

If you bought it as a bare receiver then on the 4473 it should be "receiver" when the store employee had to write down what is on the third page. The form specifically has pistol, revolver, rifle, shotgun, receiver, and other. So you should be able to make into a pistol, rifle, or SBR with a form 1.
