Hello everyone, I own a SX3 Compact 26" which I really want to add a Nordic mag extension to. Since these are imported shotguns I was wondering what everyone is modifying to make them 922r compliant (Legal). I am unsure of the number of imported parts the BAFT considers the SX3 to have. I have been meaning to write the BAFT a letter about this but havent gotten around to it yet.
My guess on imported parts is: 16 Imported Parts
27 C.F.R. 478.89 lists 20 parts:
(1) Frames, receivers, receiver castings, forgings or stampings
(2) Barrels
(3) Barrel extensions
(4) Mounting blocks (trunions)
(5) Muzzle attachments
(6) Bolts
(7) Bolt carriers
(8) Operating rods
(9) Gas pistons
(10) Trigger housings
(11) Triggers
(12) Hammers
(13) Sears
(14) Disconnectors
(15) Butt stocks
(16) Pistol grips
(17) Forearms, hand guards
(18) Magazine bodies
(19) Followers
(20) Floorplates
Since the magic number of imported parts is 10, I need to change out 6 parts?
I know Nordic makes a magazine follower, so thats one American made part to swap out. A Briely extended choke covers the 'Muzzel attachment'. Adding a mag extension does not remove the imported stock mag tube... so I still need 4 other parts to swap. It is my understanding that the FN SLP is assembled in America, thus 'American Made' (not imported), but I believe most of the parts are made in the same place as my SX3 (overseas). Are there any SLP or SX2 Practical parts I could I swap out like the trigger group (4 parts)? I have searched long and hard for answers but I have had no luck with advice about what I should do to keep things legal, any help would be greatly appreciated!
