The amusing thing about 922(r) is that it is the act of assembling the non-importable firearm that is illegal. It is not illegal to be in possession of a firearm that violates 922(r). In the unlikely even that someone is caught with a SKS or AK variant that is illegal among the millions of legal ones out there, and ATF could actually prove it is illegal, the only thing they can do is confiscate the firearm as contriband.
