Is my SKS legal w/pistol grip?

Friends,I purchased my chicom SKS back in '89 or '90, when they were good, cheap, and plentiful. After a complete tear-down and clean-up I refinishid the wood stock: I got rid of the cr-p brown finish, stripped and sanded the wood bare, and gave it a beautiful light yellow stain and satin clear finish.Trouble was the stock was too short to shoot comfortably. I solved this in '90 or '91 by adding a 1" rubber butt extension and a black plastic/hard rubber pistol grip that attached to the trigger group. Rifle is now easier for me to shoot, and I think it is the best looking wood-stocked SKS I've ever seen.Have I broken the law by adding the pistol grip? I can document when I bought the rifle, but not when I bought or installed the pistol grip. Also, it has the original non-detachable box magazine and the bayonet lug, although I've removed the spike bayonet.Thanks for your help, Brisco

    I think you are OK with what you have done. It is good that you kept the stock where the firearm is still "designed to be fired from the shoulder." Now go have a good time and quit worrying.
