My bet is that either of the brakes are legal if they are welded on.

What about the one in the image above....?Comment

Sorry, I should have been more specific. I was talking about bare threads.
This would be legal, but you'd need to weld it on. I actually did a fair amount of 922(r) reading with regards to the SKS, and wrote a gunwiki article or two with the digest of what I found. Jesse, you'll notice an email I got from you quoted in the SKS article. I also found an ATF-provided list of 922(r) parts in the SKS. Looks a little tough to win the '10 or more' game with an SKS, but it should be doable. Note that if you were to manage that, you'd actually have a domestically built rifle, but you can't use imported magazines.

This is a great site for SKS modifications and legal questions.
I guess you could always cut the grenade launcher stuff off and then recrown the barrel and attach a brake that will fit. Then you wouldn't have to worry about welding the brake on, you would just void the C&R status(you don't have to play the 10 parts game for this). Of course, you would be hacking up a rifle and that may not be something you want to do from a collectors standpoint.Comment

I guess I got lucky. Mine came with a brake that looks ok, actually works, and the gun's way more accurate than I expected it to be.I won't be insulted, I won't be laid a hand on. I don't do these things to other people, and I require the same from them.
