They had folding stocks before the first shippment of them was turn back because of the '89 ban. Got converted to the ugly wood stock with the extra deadly things cut off. Nope, you can not put the folding stock on it. It falls under 922.

You might consider that info before adding a folder to your SKS. -Troy |

This won't make much sense, but it's true.
Bayonet are perfectly legal on the Russian SKS (gets kinda "iffy" if it's been removed), & are generally a no-no on the Chi-Coms. I can't remember exactly how the BATF decided that (I've got a letter from them around here somewhere, I'll post it if I can find it). I think it had something to do with the Chinese ones not qualifying as C&Rs, because they cranked so many out until recently. FWIW, bayonets are also legal on the Romanian SKSs. AIM, & SOG (page 3) still have them in this month's flier, but they're not $159.00 anymore - both are "POR," & both say they're almost out of them (Get 'em while you can, they're not bad rifles at all!). The fixed hi-caps, especially Chi-Com 20s are around, & they work well, but most of them have the big star stamped in (a little suspicious on a Russian, or Romanian). You have to break the USA semi-detachable ones in, & it can be a real pain in the a$$, but once you get them to work they usually keep working OK. |

I have not seen any chi-com franken mags. The chi-com mag I seen that was hi-cap nature was the 20 rnd fixed mag.
