I am confused on a couple of things. First, there are no "private companies" making arms in China. Norinco IS North China Industries, and is wholly owned by the Peoples Liberation Army.
Second, 922 (r) applies to assembling, in the U.S. from imported parts, a gun identical to one banned from import. But an SKS that was imported, regardless of when, was not banned from import, and is not being assembled in the U.S. So I fail to see the applicability of 922 (r). I also fail to see how replacing one part (breakage, wear) would require nine additional parts to be replaced; the gun is being repaired, not assembled from parts.
The intent of the law is quite clear; I agree that there are some confusing issues, but they have nothing to do with buying an imported gun and shooting it.
