PART KITS

WANTED: you to know.
Bought a PPSH41 parts kit, from Inter Ordnance, in 1999.
Today, I received a registered letter from BATF. Basically it say the torched cut receivers are still machine guns and are illegal to own.
It says that I have 3 days to contact them and "voluntarily abandon" the parts kit.
Just for your information.

Also, which country of origin would you recommend for AK kits?

The other weird part is that you didn't have to fill out a 4473 for that parts kit, since it was minus the receiver, so what the heck are they doing, going through sales receipts at the distribs to find addresses? Anyone can get a parts kit by mail order...

There are thousands, if not 10s of thousands, of this and similar kits that are out there. And there are a lot of (normally law abiding) people that are going to have to explain the whereabouts of their parts kits. I will give up the gun, that's a no brainer. If I had any idea that they were not legal, I wouldn't have bought it. I just wonder if this stuff is going to end up a statistic of how many illegal machine guns the BATF has taken off the streets thus making America safe from terrorism.
I'm not mad, just disappointed.
By the way...There was a copy of my 4 year old receipt with the BATF letter.
When I order mine I guess I'll use my dog's name and a money order.
Why does everyone feel the need to burn that much powder?
Nahh, what am I thinkin'......DUH!!! We're talking the govt. here![:(!][:(!]
