Survivor’s SKS forums have loads of info on that rifle and its many accessories. I believe, though, that adding the Tapco mag or collapsible buttstock renders the SKS subject to that 922(r) nonsense re: foreign vs. U.S.-made parts count. There sure must be a bunch of “illegal” SKS rifles out there by now.
I’m not trying to be a fear monger, but consider this:
Someday, a newbie troll signs up and posts all sorts of questions on how to modify this weapon or that weapon outside established legal guidelines. {for the purpose of smearing Free Republic} Given the current political climate and the tactics of our enemies, we should expect this. At the least, it would not hurt us to keep a watchful eye on these topics.
Not if the SKS is pre 922r
