    I would say IF it were built using real Chinese AK receivers, it might be possible but I doubt they used real AK receivers.

    The person I know at the firearms lab did it themselves, but again this case is definitely the exemption rather than the rule

    That article was pretty funny right off the start, it stated..."Can be transformed into weapons with a simple switch of the gun's barrel and bolt"... Now to the sausage chewin' voter, that might seem simple. Just pop the barrel and change the bolt...right? SIMPLE! That's what the RCMP say...? Those of us that have examined an AK know a bit better than that. But to the populace that knows nothing it creates a panic about nothing. Most shooters have NO idea how to get an AK barrel out.

    Anyhow, there's another example of what isn't available here any more. The rest aren't anywhere near convertible. You'd end up making a high priced rifle and then installing a high priced set of secondary parts in it. That would make it unaffordable to the end users. The whole idea of the first guy's vids are to create viewers that watch him repeatedly and get him views. It sounds good though...
    Regards, Jim

    I would call it a 'depressing' Scottish newspaper article. Interesting..., it ain't
