Write BATFE they will send you your own personal letter. Many will tell you that you cannot but I called and as you stated as well as the videos I saw it is perfectly legal no stamp needed. The angled grip is the key, the agent I spoke with stressed adding a stock to a short barrel constituted a SBR and that required a stamp.

It is not considered a vertical grip as referred to in the AOW defined and therefore would not need to be registered under the NFA if in fact the picture of the AK is truly a pistol and the AGF is the item he will attach to the pistol."
