SKS magazine modification

I was looking thru the ATF Federal Law book they provide us and would like to ask this question.
If you have a SKS with a fixed magazine and convert it to removable, that does not make it an 'assault weapon' does it?
An all original Chinese SKS (not yugo with a grenade launcher) with the only other feature being the bayonet thus not having two other banned features as stated in Chapter 44 of Title 18 U.S. Code, Section 921 (30) (B)
It wasn't only the Bill Clinton Gun Ban- without Bill Ruger there would of been no ban .

They are a waste of money. Just buy some stripper clips, & you will find that you can reload much faster than using a "removable" mag.

But, neither of the removable mags worked, changing out the mags was difficult and with that crazy arm on them, there was no effecient way to carry extras. Both my buddies returned to the fixed mags. Stripper clips are easy to carry and quick to load and made shooting a lot more enjoyable for my buddies.

... If you don't, you'll find any excuse.
? otherwise, you'll find an excuse.
With regard to detachable mags - ALL TRUE. The removable mags have to be fiddled with to be loaded in the rifle and two hands are a definite requirement. I use 30 round detachable steel mags on mine. I put one in the rifle and the other in my back pocket.
However, the fiddling doesn't bother me that much and I prefer the 30 round capacity rather than a ten round capacity. These mags have been consistent feeders and the rifle hasn't jammed or failed to feed. I have even used them in my local Gun Club contests with no ill effect. I don't think I have ever had an occassion where more than 30 rounds was required for the type of shooting that I do.
So this is the other side coin for the detachable mag.

This rifle does not take those STUPID duck bill SKS mags.
It was converted to take AK47 Magazines.
Email me if you want the file that tells you how to do the conversion.

From the auction in question:
quote:To answer some questions and ensure everyone knows, I would like to point out that the SKS was not imported as accepting detachable mags and was adapted after importation to accept the AK magazines.
I thought these conversions were done in China? Or at least some of them???

Remember Ruby Ridge.
Experience is the best teacher and usually charges accordingly.

"There is no bolt hold back feature, must insert magazine and load thru the top."
That doesn't sound like MY idea of a detachable mag. It appears to be an unsuccessful conversion attempt.
Red, you're kicking a dead horse. You asked for opinions, you got good advice, so
do what you want now; just don't complain to us.
