SLR-95 Legal Question

[clubsoda22]

Sorry for filling up the forum with yeat another thread on my quest for an Arsenal AK, but here it goes anyway.

I'm under the impression that it is legal to convert a Bulgarian (Arsenal) SLR-95 from the thumbhole stock to pistol grip simply by using a $45 american made pistol-grip stock set from K-Var. Am i correct? Does anything else need to be replaced to make it a legal pistol grip besides the buttstock and grip? Just asking incase i see one cheap enough to warrant the extra $45

I'm going from memory here so if I'm off please feel free to correct me:
For a stamped receiver AK you need 5 US parts to make it legal to use w/a pistol grip configuration.
For a milled receiver AK you need 4 US parts to make it legal to use w/a pistol grip configuration.
*However*, the SLR-95 also has a foreign-made muzzle brake so it needs 5 US parts for pistol grip legality.
Easiest way to get the parts count right is a US-made stockset (buttstock, pistol grip, handguards, counts as 3 of the 5 needed parts) and a US-made fire control group w/trigger, hammer & disconnector (like Tapco's excellent G2 FCG, gives you another 3 US parts for a total of 6).
HTH...
