SKS question

[Yukon227]

I realize there are some 922r issues with SKS modification. That being said IF I purchase a gun with detachable magazines and no bayonet, does it have to stay that way? How would I know if this is the way it was imported? Can I put a stock fixed 10 round mag on it and a bayonet and still be compliant?

The SKS was imported with a 10 round magazine and a bayonet. Returning the rifle to this configuration will not raise any eyebrows. (nobody is watching, either)

I hope you are getting it for a good price. Stock SKS is the way to go, but I don't like the weight of the bayonet myself...

if you're making it original 922r isnt an issue. If you're using box mag and bayonet from my SKS I wanna see pics.

 

[Yukon227]

Will do! I'll post some tonight

Here it is

And this is the before

And this is what it looked like before I refinished the stock

I've never heard of someone being charged with breaking the 922r law

Nicely done.

Nice work on refinishing the stock. That looks good!

I like the dark stain on the stock, or is that a Russian style stock? The bayonet looks Norinco.

Looks great! As far as 922r is, I always made sure my SKS's were compliant. While I never heard of anyone getting busted for it, I also didn't want to be the first.

Converting it to the import configuration isn't an issue.

That's a great looking stock refinishing you did there. I prefer the SKS with the standard 10 round magazine myself. My SKS was purchased during the ban so no bayo lug for me.

Yes it is a Norinco, I didn't do anything fancy on the refinish. The stock had some kind of almost like shellac or paint on it. I sanded that down to bare wood, used no chemicals to pull any oil out of the wood. After I was satisfied with the sanding, I gave it a few coats of Tru-oil and what you see is 4 or 5 coats, I add another coat every third or fourth time I clean it.
