SKS help...

[JesseXXX]

Anyone local (Lomita, South Bay) that can help me remove my G/L off my M59/66....? I want to replace it with something else... Mine has a god ugly black chunk of metal with holes in it... (its not the original looking type, if not I'd keep it on).....

There's NO pin thru it, and most of the spot weld is off....

I'm pretty sure they are just threaded on. Be a man about it!! haha

[sintax]

pipewrech and a bench vise it should come right off.

I'm honestly scared to mess it up or bend it...I guess I'll try again.... if I mess up I'll have an sks that shoots around corners....

Now how did you get it into the state with the GL?

[Tweak338]

if the GL is that easy to take off.. Why the hell doesn't places like JG remove it and send it to CA??

i don't know either. maybe they don't want the hassle? DOJ harassment? at least they still sell the rest of their CA legal stuff here...

[JesseXXX]

Yeah... thats what I have... literally a damn black pipe with holes...

Because even not attached to a rifle, the GL is still a "destructive device".

[JesseXXX]

yup.. what Grammaton76 said....

i think what tweak was saying, was to take the g/l off and just send the rifle w/ bare threads. Is it easier to weld a sleeve over the g/l than it is to take it off?? Mine was only on hand tight.

Problem you create when you do that, is that it's outside of its original military configuration, and thus no longer C&R exempt.

Once that applies, 922(r) exemptions disappear and it has the capacity to accept a flash hider, which makes it a forbidden weapon on a federal level UNLESS you mod it with enough domestic parts to meet 922(r) requirements.
