OP, join a good firearms forum and ask questions there, most will be able to point you to the correct legal advice/State rules and regs.
The question really becomes "do they mean fully interchangeable excepting caliber-specific differences?" They seem to go both ways, which is slightly maddening.
The AK-47 situation is a weird one due to the wording of the law (remember that it's not just AK-47s, it's also "Avtomat Kalashnikov"). I've always thought the MSP was wrong in allowing the 74, but shaking the boat is never a good thing - what if we ever get an AG who decides to retroactively go after people? A lot of people could potentially go to jail in a situation like that.

dont be a dumbass
"Avtomat Kalashnikov in any format"
I dont know what people are thinking. The MSP does not have a massive magical collection of guns and armorers. When you submit a gun, they do not actually check by putting bolt A in slot B.
They Google some schematics in the public domain, same as everyone here. Then they say banned. Or not. But mostly banned to be on the safe side. There is a growing list of rifles they've got wrong - a few were unbanned because it could be shown the determination was wrong. Appeal is hard in some cases, you have to have two rifles (one possibly rare) and be able to show bolt A does not go in slot B. And you have to be an FFL with a lot of time, money, and a collection.
Ask stupid questions, about a vague list of guns written decades ago, win stupid prizes.

If people could stop poking the bear that would be great...smdh
That's your choice, but I can pretty much guarantee that the overwhelming majority of people affected will not be going down in a hail of bullets.

Seems like the OP hasn't posted a message since this thread. I hope he learned a lesson.

I was interested in purchasing the rifle and my FFL wasn't sure if it was legal to transfer, so I submitted a request to MDSP. What else was I supposed to do? Their reasoning is flawed because the parts are not interchangeable with an AK47. I am going to respond to them and let them know that.

I think responding to them will cause more harm than good.

You should have looked for another FFL. Did you honestly think you'd get a fair shake from the MSP? I gotta say, you ruined it for a LOT of people.

No thinking about it. The proof is in the pudding.
Please stop.
