C&R Question

[Thompson-]

I have a C&R question.if I put a non-norinco chinese SKS into an aftermarket stock,

this one http://www.cheaperthandirt.com/60532-1.html


What is the legality of this weapon?
if I need to get 922r parts where can I get them fairly cheap online?

Any and all help is graciously accepted

Norinco SKS isnt C&R anyway, and from looking at that stock, you will have a pistol grip. Im not 100% certain if you are planning (or could) go with a larger mag conversion or detachable mag without a bullet button, but nonetheless, that would be a no-no. Definately keep the original stock in case you want to sell your SKS later. Tacti-cool ones dont demand a high price in the collectors world.

Wait-scratch my last post. I didnt see the NON part. What kind of SKS?

[Thompson-]

I dont know is driving me crazy its stamped 306 on the reciever

[Thompson-]

it says on the right side of the reciever,

SKS 7.62 MADE IN CHINA
CJASFLD.MI.

OOOHH, Okay! It says 306 followed by some Chinese lettering correct? That is still a Norinco SKS made in factory 306. The Norinco SKSs (all of them) are not C&R. Reason being, is there is no way to put a date of manufacture to your rifle. The Norincos have a chrome barrel and yours should be suitable if you want to "bubba" it (put tacticool stuff on) and use as a range toy. You wont be adding any value by putting that stock on (in fact keep the old stock if you plan to re-sell), but its cool if you are going to shoot it. I would also ask in the FFL forum here, but I think you should be legal. Pistol grips become an issue with detachable mags where you will need a bullet button installed. A pistol grip is one of the "evil" features, but I think your fine with the stock mag on an SKS.

As for the 922r stuff you will find various answers all over the place.

I am from the group that reads the law in a manner that even the end user must comply with 922r regulations.

That being said look at Tapco for a 922r compliance kit at a reasonable price.

If that SKS mag is non-detachable, then there is no need to make it featureless.

As for 922r - if you add any of the following, then I think the rifle is no longer considered "suitable for sporting purposes", and must comply with 922r:

- High capacity (greater than 10 round for rifles, 5 rounds for shotgun) magazines
- Pistol grip attachment
- Folding buttstock
- Muzzle device/attachment (to include a threaded barrel capable of receiving a device)
- Bayonet lugs

As to where to buy 922r parts for an SKS - sorry - I don't know - maybe google is your friend? I'm sure the rifle forum would probably be able to help with both questions.

Here is a kit from Tapco with stock and all. The only problem is that they list it with a 20 round magazine and we need 10 rounders in CA
