You didn't buy a new AK-47 wannabe with a 40 round magazine. You bought the gun and then bought the mag seperately. If you bought the gun and mag as a single unit, you and the dealer have committed a felony. Can you see the difference?

I'm also certain that if Mr. Goldylight inserts that mag into his Chinese AK variant, he will have committed a felony. What do you think of that, goldylight? Think the AW ban has affected you?

Also, as Double Tap pointed out, you may already be a felon if you actually purchased that mag at the same time as your rifle.

Not true, if the gun contained enough US Parts, or was entirely US made for that matter, and did not feature enough of the "evil" features for the ban to apply, which is why the new ones don't have bayonet lugs or flash suppressors. Be advised though that that US parts count, often includes parts of the magazine, if not the whole magazine. My rebuilt G-3 contains several US made parts, including the receiver, but it's very picky about magazines, and I've not been able to get most of the "pre ban" junk to feed properly. The real G-3 magazines are still importable and can be sold, (although Fienswine et. al. want to change that) but if I put an unmodified one into my rifle, I'd be creating a banned gun. Needless to say, I don't own any of them, considering the way BATFE is always deciding that if you have the parts to make a banned or controled item, you have the item.
