Yugo AK M-90 shoulder stock/mag laws

Hello,
I purchased a Yugo M-90 in about 1988. There was alot of contaversy about what type of stock this weapon could have, since it was brought into the country before the ban, but had not been transferred from the warehouse to Mitchell Arms before the ban went into effect. So, these weapons were sold with cheap, thumbhole, plastic "sporter" stocks.
I've seen a few M-90s for sale recently which have the original stocks on them (shoulder stock and pistol grip). Is it now legal to install the original style stocks on these weapons? Can they legally have a magazine holding more than 10 rounds? Any information is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Sean

A question for you all; Why are the politicians of places like Kalifornia, Taxachusetts, New Jerky, and Marxland so adamant about getting rid of all the guns? Anyone?
Under the guise of crime control, they are instituting people control, for once their plans come into fruition, they need you to be disarmed against it, and ultimately, the politicians, themselves.

Those who would offer any interpretation that would relegate Amendment II to "relic" status of a bygone era are blatantly stating that the remainder of the Bill of Rights isn't worth a damn, either.

And so much for the concept that an American law abiding citizen should be able to own the firearm of their choice.

Uuuugh. It must have been 1990 then, not 1988. What a mess surrounding that whole thing. Does anyone know where I can get a good solid wood thumbhole for this? I have found an attachment that sits on the back of the receiver to accept decent "thumbhole" stocks. Any suggestions? Maybe I should break it down and sell it as a parts kit...
Sean
All of the info was great and thanks again. I understand that this rifle was released after the modifications, and that if enough American-made parts on it, it would no longer be considered an import, and I could a pistol-grip, etc.
But, does the sunset of the Crime Bill allow for any changes to this gun? It doesn't need the extra parts now, right?
This can be trickier than you think, too.

By the way, Mark, yes, I do have the Mitchell certificate and, no, it does not have the scope mount.
So, I can put a pistol grip and folding stock on this. Interesting. Maybe I can find some at a gun show or here online. If I buy from a dealer, how do I know where it was made, and does it matter?
Also, about import numbers for these... I have a chart for the Yugo imports through Mitchell Arms...
Break down of Yugoslavain AK/RPK/M-76's
1,400 7.62x 39 Folders
700 RPK
280 M-76 Countersnipers
1,120 .308 M-70s Standard Model
3,500 7.62 x 39 M 70 Standard Model
Pre bans imported prior to 1994 were 2000.
Here is the breakdown:
400 7.62 x 39 folders
200 RPK (40) in .308) and (160 in 7.62 x 39)
80 M76 8mm Countersnipers
320 .308 M70 Standard Model
1000 7.62 x 39 M 70 Standard Model
Post ban M-90 sold after 1994 there were a total of 5,000. Here is the breakdown:
1000 7.62 x 39 folders
500 RPK (400 in 7.62 x 39) and (100 in .308)
200 M-76 8mm Countersnipers
2,500 M70 7.62 x 39 Standard Model
800 M70 .308 Standard Model
So, there were 400 of my versions (Yugo, AK47, M-90, folder) that came in prior to 1994? How did the pre-94 and post-94's differ? Were the internals of mine changed so that it could never be full-auto? Not that I would convert anything, I'm just curious about my gun.
Once again, thanks for any info!
Sean
It would be nice to get a final answer from the ATF on this issue. There are still some grey-area issues I think.
Also, would there be a market for 100 solid resin thumbhole M90 stocks? Would it be too heavy? How much would one pay for it? I can possibly get a prototype made.
Thanks,
Sean
