    Chinese ska legality

    Hey everybody. I've tried searching but all I can find is overly complicated info. Royal tiger has a Chinese sks for $200.



    Is this something I can legally have shipped to my FFL? If so, can I put any tapco stock I want such as this one?



    If not, what are the rules? Bullet buttons, percentage of U.S. Made parts etc. does any of that apply?

    Thanks everyone. You guys are a huge help whenever I have questions and I truly appreciate your facilitation of my gun obsession. :-)

    No bullet button needed as it doesn't have detachable magazines.

    It is most likely old enough to be exempt from the 922r stuff. (Not sure on that though, and not sure if swapping parts out for new stuff changes the 922r status at all...)

    You should be able to have it shipped to your local FFL. Make sure your FFL is willing to do the transfer though, and be aware they will probably charge $50-75 on top of the DROS and sales/use tax. So look to pay around $350+ out the door for that (plus new stock, as those you linked to apparently have damaged stocks). Still not a bad deal though, as long as it shoots OK.

        Just buy a another wood stock and don't worry about 922R compliance. These are for blade bayonet and are surplus

              In order to be exempt from Fed 922r, they needed to have been in the USA prior to 1989. How old the firearm is has nothing to do with it, when it was imported does.

              If you change anything that will take it out of it's surplus firearm configuration or change it so it does not meet the sporting purpose configuration for importation, then Fed 922r applies.

                Which isn't necessarily a deal breaker. You can find plenty of USA Made parts that will work for compliance now.

                  That said, AFAIK it's CA legal, and as others noted, don't need a bullet button (mag not detachable), shouldn't need to worry about 922r if you don't swap any parts (if you do change the stock, then IIRC 922r comes into play).

                    The only SKSs banned in California are the ones with detachable magazines.

                    See page 29: http://oag.ca.gov/sites/all/files/pd...ms/awguide.pdf

                    There are no SKS models banned by name. Therefore if it has a fixed magazine, you are GTG.

                      FWIW Ammobros has Chinese Sks for $150, at least that's what their site said.

                          Only if you change the stock to something with a pistol grip or thumbhole type. If you change the wood to lets say a polymer monte carlo stock then 922(r) isn't an issue.
                          The ATF said you haven't changed the imported configuration as long as the new stock is the same type that was replaced.

                            yes 922 applies if you use a tapco tactical, easiest way is to get a USA made trigger group.

                            i dont recommend selling the original, but the original milled trigger group is worth almost what your paying for the rifle. typically about $150

                            this will be a russian milled trigger group in it, whether its stamped as a sino soviet or not, it will be a russian surplus trigger group just like the "n" marked front site leaf

                            as far as detachable mags go..... all SKS rifles can use detachable mags, you just remove the fixed mag. when someone referred to "banned" models....i believe youd be talking about the models "D", "M" and "sporter" that use AK mags
