It is more than just "U.S." made parts -- Section 922(r) is somewhat complicated. This is just a notice from one parts dealer. If I get time later, I'll see if I can find better details about it.
IMPORTANT NOTE TO OUR CUSTOMERS.
BASED ON COMMENTS THAT WE GET FROM OUR CUSTOMERS THERE SEEMS TO BE SOME
CONFUSION OUT THERE ABOUT THE SUNSETTING OF THE CRIME BILL AND SECTION 922(r) .
ALTHOUGH THE SUNSETTING OF THE CRIME BILL DID ALLOW FOR CERTAIN DOMESTICALLY MADE FIREARMS TO
RETAIN THEIR MILITARY CHARACTERISTICS, THIS IS TOTALLY SEPERATE FROM AND IN NO WAY
EFFECTS SECTION 922(r), WHICH IS STILL VERY MUCH IN AFFECT.
SETION 922(r) , TITLE 18, U.S.C., MAKES IT UNLAWFUL FOR ANY PERSON TO ASSEMBLE FROM
IMPORTED PARTS ANY SEMIAUTOMATIC RIFLE OR ANY SHOTGUN WHICH IS IDENTITCAL TO ANY
RIFLE OR SHOTGUN PROHIBITED FROM IMPORTATION UNDER SECTION 925(d) (3) OF THE GCA.
THIS SECTION OF THE LAW APPLIES TO AK RIFLES, FAL / STG RIFLES, G-3 TYPE RIFLES, AS WELL
AS MANY OTHER IMPORTED RIFLES AND SHOTGUNS. BASICALLY, ASSEMBLY OF ANY OF THESE RIFLES
FROM IMPORTED PARTS IS A VIOLATION, UNLESS ENOUGH U.S. MADE PARTS ARE INCLUDED IN
THE ASSEMBLY OF THE FIREARM TO BRING IT INTO COMPLIANCE.
OUR PART SETS ARE SOLD AS REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT ONLY. PLEASE KNOW THAT THE ASSEMMBLY OF THESE
PARTS INTO A FIREARM WITHOUT THE PROPER # OF U.S. PARTS IS A VIOLATION OF SEC 922(r).
