So, today at my first flight lesson, my instructor is talking about this new "assault rifle" he just bought. For the life of me, I can't recall the name exactly, but it starts with a V and is an AK in .308. Sounds cool.
Anyway, he was talking about some federal law that makes it illegal to even insert "high capacity" magazines into an AK unless that AK has 6 American-made parts, which he suggested would be things like a folding stock or a rail system. Three of the parts could be the magazine itself, if the magazine is American-made, though, he said. Without either American-made magazines—which can count for up to 3 parts—or 6 American parts on the rifle itself, it is illegal to use anything more than 10-round magazines.
Failure to meet this specification is a felony, he said.
I certainly have never heard of this. I even asked him if it was a state specific law, but he claimed it was federal. A federal ten round limit on AKs that don't have at least six American made parts? How could this have been kept such a secret from me despite all my time on INGO?
Or was he just wrong? Anybody know?
