Sorry but your wrong.
Here is why.
922(r) It shall be unlawful for any person to assemble from imported parts any semiautomatic rifle or any shotgun which is identical to any rifle or shotgun
prohibited from importation.

On November 15, 1997, in his radio address to the nation,
President Clinton announced that the Treasury Department
would temporarily suspend the importation of certain modified
assault weapons to review whether these weapons should be allowed
to enter the country. Today, the Secretary of the Treasury
informed the President that most of the weapons studied should
be generally banned from importation.
Under current law (the 1968 Gun Control Act), the Treasury
Department has the obligation to restrict the importation of
firearms unless they are determined to be "particularly suitable
for or readily adaptable to sporting purposes." After taking
several months to review the weapons in question, the
Treasury
Department has concluded that modified semiautomatic assault
rifles that accept large capacity military magazines --or LCMM
rifles --do not meet the sporting purposes test and are generally
not importable.Since passage of the 1968 Gun Control Act, Administrations of
both parties have repeatedly invoked this authority to ensure
that only legitimate sporting weapons are brought into the
country. In 1968, the Act was used to ban the importation of
Saturday Night Specials and other small and inexpensive
handguns; in 1984 and 1986, it was used to ban the importation of
the Striker-12 and USAS-12 riot control shotguns; in 1989, it was
used to ban the importation of 43 semiautomatic assault rifles;
and in 1993, its authority was invoked to propose a ban on the
importation of certain assault pistols, though the Assault
Weapons Ban of 1994 made this executive action unnecessary.
The more than 50 models of firearms affected by today's decision
are modified versions of military assault weapons that were
banned by the Bush Administration in 1989, or by the Assault
Weapons Ban of 1994. Most of these models are based on the AK 47
assault rifle, but some are variants of the Uzi, FN-FAL, HK 91
and 93, and SIG SG550.
Since 1998, LCMM rifles are not importable.
[rifles that accept large capacity military magazines --or LCMM
rifles]
The ATF will not give a permit to importers to allow import of
rifles that have any capacity above 10 cartridges since the law changed
in 1998. As the 922r law stands, IF IT CAN"T BE IMPORTED IN THAT CONFIGURATION THEN IT CAN"T BE CREATED IN AMERICA USING MORE THAN 10 SPECIFIC PARTS. 922R was a law made to prevent virtually anyone from
converting an import into what can't be imported in the first place.
Nalioth is correct in his statement. There are a few ATF letters posted
about this very thing look them up. Some of us have spent years dealing with this same topic and it gets old having to argue what is already known.
The simple fact is "No you can't drop a high capacity mag legally into a rifle that stands to have more than 10 foreign parts once the mag locks in."
Don't forget that the mag counts as 3 parts so technically the rifle is not fully assembled until all the parts are connected. Inserting a mag is considered assembling because you are connecting the final pieces.
