OK, even after studying the sticky thread, I still don't understand 922(r).
If I had a NORINCO SKS acquired somewhere around 1994 (assuming it was legal and came into the U.S. pre-ban), would it automatically violate 922(r) just by existing? Because it certainly would have more than 10 imported parts.
The language of 922(r) talks about "assemble from imported parts." that wouldn't be the case if the entire rifle were legally imported, would it?
And how about if, say, the original NORINCO bolt and slamfire-susceptible firing pin were replaced by U.S.-made ones? That wouldn't count as "assembling," would it?
