Maadi Info

[Gunny71]

I just picked up a Maadi ARM imported by PARS. From what I have been able to find, all MAADI's brought in during the ban had Thumbhole stocks on them. This one does not. I thought at first that the thumbhole stock had been cut out and modified, because the pistol grip is wood and shaped a bit different than most I have seen. Now I am not so sure, I have seen a couple of picks of wood grips that look like the one on mine.
Here's the gist of my question. If the rifle was originally imported with a "Bunghole" stock and at some later date was replaced with an "evil" stock and PG, does it now need to follow the import parts count rule? Anyone know how I can find out how it was imported , or know if they were indeed imported with or without Bunghole stocks.

I want to make sure I stay legal on this, because it is one fine AKM, much better fit finish and workmanship than the WASR I used to have.

Thanks in advance for any help or info.

Pars Maddis are post ban. The only Maddis that came is as prebans were imported by Steyr. IIRC, it will need to conform to 922r. 5 parts without the muzzle device and 6 with the muzzle device.

Quite a few Maadi's came in after the ban, and they were all with regular pistol grips. They had a warning with them that using a foreign made mag (minus the US floorplate) would put it over the foreign parts count.
