Narrative:

Upon arrival at nome I was confronted by an FAA maintenance inspector. He had been notified by an FAA inspector in unalakleet that there were a few discrepancies on my aircraft. When I did the preflight I had noticed some discrepancies but since I was going VFR part 91 and the plane was going up for maintenance and none of the discrepancies were affecting airworthiness I made the flight. The outcome was they accused me of a possible violation of at far.
