So,

my brother lives down in the PRK, and has grand aspirations of owning (and modifying) an AK-47. The way I understand the law down there, as long as the gas system is rendered "permanently" inoperable, the weapon ceases to be semi-auto and is therefore released from magazine/folding stock/pistol grip restrictions. In this configuration, the weapon becomes a straight pull bolt action.

So, if one decided to put a full auto fire control group in a straight pull bolt action weapon, would it still be legal? The weapon is no more full auto than it was before due to the lack of a gas system, so the FCG really doesn't change the weapon at all....

Anyhow, opinions would be appreciated, I am just trying to keep him from getting in trouble.
Thanks!
Dan
