The legal issue is the 3rd hole in the receiver, which holds the auto sear. AK kit builds use the same bolt bits, and can use the rest of the fcg (fire control group) assuming US parts count is not a problem.

While having a FA(full auto) carrier handy for an AR can cause trouble for the owner of a semi, having leftover auto sears for an AK with just 2 rec fcg holes is not a problem for the feds. Welcome to the world of atf(alcohol tobacco and firearms) interpretation.

Here's some help:

AR = short for AR15 (civilian version of the M16)

AK = short for Automat Klashnikov, the AK-47

FCG = Fire Control Group = Hammer, disconnector, trigger

US = United States

You don't need that third hole, unless jail looks good to you.
