Thanks for the prompt. From http://www-2.cs.cmu.edu/afs/cs.cmu.edu/user/wbardwel/public/nfalist/semi_auto_faq.txt:
Also be aware that you are not allowed one bad feature on an imported gun, under section 922(r); while it may not become a "semiautomatic assault weapon" (and violate section 922(v), below) if you put a pistol grip stock set on your MAK-90 rifle, it will have been assembled in violation of section 922(r); unless its parts content is less than 11 of the listed parts being imported, all the rest being USA made.
Note also that section 922(r) only bans "assembly", it is not a crime to possess a weapon "assembled" in violation of this section. However it may be subject to seizure and forfeiture, under some circumstances, if ATF can show it was assembled in knowing or willful violation of the Gun Control Act, under 18 U.S.C. section 924(d)(1), by clear and convincing evidence.

Sounds like the conservative interpretation is appropriate
(as usual). StG44
