Picked up my AK! and an H&K SP89!! (Lots of pics 56k be warned)

[Longshot]

So, I set out yesterday to get an AK and pick up the STG-556 that I dropped of to Rich at American Sport Shooting yesterday. I had taken the 556 out for a shoot and (as Rich and I expected) It wouldn't cycle and acted like a bolt action lol. The problem was not the gun really, it was the left handed bolt that was the problem. The bold kept binding up and was really tight, I was hoping putting a few rnds threw it would loosen it up. Anyway at no charge to me, Rich took it and did a nice fitting on the bolt and now it works flawlessly . One of the reasons I keep going back to Rich, he stands behind every gun he sells. I could have sent the bolt back to MSAR and wait weeks for them to fix it, but Rich did it within a day at no charge.

So anyway, I took the wife with me and as I am looking at the AK , he tells me about something else that he has, that he is afraid to show it to me. So now he has to show it to me So he Brings out this H&K SP89, I have been wishing for one of these for a long time but pretty much put it out of my head because of availability. I look over to my wife for some sort of approval ( I had to give her the PLEASE PLEASE look). She nods her head and I forget all about the AK. The SP89 came 4 30rd mags, 2 40rd mags. And what is even better, This gun has never been fired. Not a scratch, ding, or piece of rust or wear anywhere on the gun.
So we leave and go to another store, and realize that I still need to get the AK and ammo for the SP89, so I call Rich up to see if he was still there and with luck he was, but he was getting ready to close. So I asked if he could stay till 6 for me and he said no problem. So I went and got the AK as well and ammo.

I know this is long winded but I get really excited about new toy's

Anyway hope you enjoy the pictures

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but better to know than not know:

Since you have this in your possession, it looks like you didn't buy a Title II NFA SP89, you bought a handgun. A handgun possessed along with a shoulder stock that will fit it is something that ATF can and will prosecute as constructive possession of an unregistered short-barreled rifle, even after US v. Thompson-Center.

Installation of a pistol grip on a pistol creates an AOW, which also requires pre-registration as an NFA firearm.

I'd delete the whole thread, sell off the buttstocks and pistol grip, and enjoy your pistol.

Now I know I can't put the pistol grip or stocks on the gun without registering it as a SBR, so I am either going to do that or wait and have it converted to FA and register it as a MG
...

I assume this would become a dealer sample MG...if not:

Let us know how this works out since many of us (including your humble poster) are under the impression that civilian-legal MG conversions were no longer legal after May 19, 1989.

Good catch on the stock - I completely missed it. Until you sell the stock get it out of your house / possession, tonight! Seller should have known better.

ok, ill threow my .02 in.

i agree 100% with gun lawyer, the way it sits you got some real bad mojo there.

and as far as what pa rifelman said, you COULD make it fa with a transferable registered sear,afaik, but that gun is not "sear ready". and i was under the impression that a gun just being "sear ready" would make it an nfa registered piece??

[Pro2A]

Nice.... I just bought a WASR 10. It looks identical to yours.

btw, like the yugo!!

but now you need a cleaning rod for it
