Can you cite this? A Soviet SKS is an SKS no matter how you slice it. The Russians even call it "SKS 45". Yet, the letters SKS appear nowhere on the gun. By that same logic, an SKS from China, Yugoslavia, etc. is still an SKS. Your advice sounds a bit suspect to me.

OP, don't you think it's dangerous to let an orangutan play with guns?

Cokebottle already nailed it. This has been discussed on this forum for many years. If you do not agree with it, that's fine. Personally, I do not choose to use the detachable SKS mags that I own while in Ca. or anywhere else. IO prefer the OEM mags instead. Your logic is exactly the logic the lawmakers used when they made catagory two AWs. There logic did not hold up in court. So, if your rifle does not have "SKS" marked on it, it is legal to use detachable magazines in it. OF course, you still need to follow federal laws like 922(r).

Whoa there. I'm not arguing, just asking for a clarification. I was confused because the only true SKS would be a Soviet one. Thanks for clearing that up.

how can you keep the original mag and still be 922 compliant ?

Parts count is different for different guns.
The AK happens to be 16 total, but the Saiga is only 14 since it lacks a muzzle device and pistol grip (if those are installed, then they count toward the total).

The SKS also lacks a pistol grip and muzzle device, and it may be lacking other parts. The only issue is no more than 10 imported parts... if the gun has only 10 counted parts, then it's GTG out of the box.

Factory, the Yugo has 15 counted parts, others have 14 (muzzle device).
It can be made compliant without touching the mags.
Tapco furniture is an easy 2 parts.
