    Per CA legislature, there was no registration allowed for the "SKS Sporter" rifles.
    ^Only exemption was for Dangerous Weapons Permit holders to have it registered in their assault weapons inventory. [PC 30720(a)(3)]
    The only legal options were:
    1. Turn into CA DOJ for compensation ("buy back"). [PC 30720(a)(1)]
    2. Turn into CA LE agency for destruction. [PC 30720(a)(2)]
    3. Render it permanently inoperable (destroy it), sell it to a CA FFL dealer with an assault weapons permit, because a Dangerous Weapons Permit holder, take it out-of-state for storage or transfer. [PC 30720(a)(3)]
    AFAIK...
    During the assault weapons registration window for the AWB of 2000, some people attempted to register SKS rifles as assault weapons (so they could use detachable magazines) and those were intitially placed on hold for clarification, then later rejected (because that type of assault weapon had to be registered during the AWB of 1989 time frame). But, some submissions had their registration approved as SKS with 11+ round fixed magazine.
    Penal Code 30720
    (a) Any person, firm, company, or corporation that is in possession of an SKS rifle shall do one of the following on or before January 1, 2000:
    (1) Relinquish the SKS rifle to the Department of Justice pursuant to subdivision (h) of former Section 12281.
    (2) Relinquish the SKS rifle to a law enforcement agency pursuant to former Section 12288, as added by Section 3 of Chapter 19 of the Statutes of 1989.
    (3) Dispose of the SKS rifle as permitted by former Section 12285, as it read in Section 20 of Chapter 23 of the Statutes of 1994.
    (b) Any person who has obtained title to an SKS rifle by bequest or intestate succession shall be required to comply with paragraph (1) or (2) of subdivision (a) unless that person otherwise complies with paragraph (1) of subdivision (b) of former Section 12285, as it read in Section 20 of Chapter 23 of the Statutes of 1994, or as subsequently amended.
    (c) Any SKS rifle relinquished to the department pursuant to this section shall be in a manner prescribed by the department.
    Kali, what a mess. PAX
