Default COMPLIANT PARTS

I have a technical question here. It may seem dumb but since I don't know the answer, it is not dumb to me.
1. I know that I must not have more then 10 foreign parts from the magic list. OK, so far. On that list the uppr and lwr handguards are considered to be one part. My question is, are the turnion(s) considered to be one part or are they considered to be one part for front and one part for rear?
2. Someone out there is selling 5.45x39 followers for the magazines. Can anyone give me a contact email or web page for these? If I put one of these in each magazine, that is considered one less foreign part off the list I think. Correct?
Thanks for the help.

The upper handguard doesn't count.The lower handguard counts.The rear "trunnion" really isn't a trunnion but a receiver block.Only the front trunnion should count.The US followers will help the parts count.

Default THANKS

Dear ALLESENNOGWAT
Thanks for the information on the compliants parts. If I only need to count the front trunnion, then that helps. Also, I will check out the site you mentioned about the mag followers. That would gain me another part.
Thanks for quick response.

the rear trunnion is not a proscibed part. it is not counted as an official 'part'.

the front trunnion is counted as it is a barrel mount.

you might try FSE (first son enterprises). i know they may 7.62 x 39 followers and floorplates. i don't know if they did the 5.45, but there are some out there.
