Okay, that answers that. What I really want to avoid is messing with the trigger group.
From what I've read up on, Milled-reciever AKs with an attached muzzle brake require the replacement of 5 parts to make quota - but I'm not completely sure of the validity of that. In any case, my SLR-95 is a milled reciever, with a thumbhole stock and a permanently attached muzzle brake. So to replace five parts, could a person swap out the (1)top cover plate, (2)thumbhole stock, (3)mag floorplate, (4)follower, and (5)sight pins to make the requirements? How about those Williams replaceable "bright sights"? Also, if I replace the thumbhole stock with a stock/pistol grip combo, does the new pistol grip go towards the new-part count?
This is confusing. Thanks for the help!
