I just found a very good deal on an Interstate Arms (IAC) 982 shotgun -- a Norinco-made Rem 870 clone, with ghost-ring sights stock. It comes as a 5+1, but it's possible to get extension tubes.
Thing is, doesn't increasing its capacity implicate the same 922(r) parts-count garbage that AK builders deal with? ( I know by its terms, 922(r) applies to "any shotgun" that's imported.)
If an extended-capacity tube is enough to run into 922(r) problems, does anyone know how many US-made parts you have to put in to be legal? Or would it take enough parts that, by the time you've complied, you'd have been money ahead to buy the US-made Remmy in the first place?
Just looking for 922(r) advice, not to start a "Made in China" debate -- I have divided feelings about that issue (torn between a good tool to defend my family on a limited budget, versus everything else that "Made in China" entails). Heck, I'm not even positive I'll buy this thing -- just wanting to figure out what can legally be done with it if I do.
Thanks in advance.
