Narrowed down my choices for an AK to three models and keep reading about 922 number of American parts. If we don't have an AWB anymore does it really serve a purpose to have this federal regulation anymore? Did it ever serve any purpose?

That's what the government says, but short barrel shotguns are actually very useful for military purposes. Our door breaching shotguns were remington 870's with about an 8'' barrel. Perfect for shooting locks out and quickly transitioning to an M-4.Fallschirmjäger said:"sawn off"/short barreled shotguns are regulated because they "have little or no application to military purposes"
