The brake will have to be pinned/welded as well. Threads are a no-go on the barrel. Otherwise you should be ok as the ad list it as import compliant (922r). But at that price, you might want to look around for a saiga thats unconverted and do the conversion yourself. You wouldnt have to worry about the threaded barrel and you could still put a brake on it if preffered.

And you have to pay for the compliant work, transfer fees.

 

The price goes up up up up. And up! LOL!

You can find unconverted saigas for about 800 right now (about 400 overpriced but still) and convert them legally for about 200 or less. Do ot yourself man

Atlantic was selling NJ compliant versions a week or two ago. I don't see them on their website right now, but you may want to check back every so often. Price was the same as the other versions, about $899.

This may be a stupid question, but is threading a barrel still illegal even if you permanently attach a muzzle brake?

Thats the gray area no-one really walks or take a risk on i believe. Some of the more well versed members may want to chime in on this one, but youll already have a pistol grip so the second "evil feature" risk is a biggie. Will it be pinned and permanent, yes, but is it still threaded, yes. All it takes is one person to misinterpret and your up shits creek

this is not a grey area at all...

 

a threaded barrel is illegal unless it is no longer a threaded barrel..

a threaded barrel stops being one when a muzzle brake is permanently attached.. the idea being the threads do not exist any longer because the brake is a permanent part of the barrel...

 

just make sure its a brake and not a flash hider..

Yes to everything Vlad said
