    Chinese sks CA Legal?

    I was wondering if these were legal here. I'm looking at one that has the ten round mag non-detachable so I'm good in that respect but I'm not sure if its legal to have the folding bayonet in California or anything else that would disqualify it.
    Thanks

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle.

    Unfortunate you can't get one from Canadaicon, somewhere around $210.00 each and the recent arrivals are literally like new, well the vast majority are.
    Why use a 50 pound bomb when a 500 pound bomb will do?

    It depends on which one it is. Does it say "Sporter" on it?

    Chinese SKS's are crap try to find a Soviet or a Romanian M56 . i've had my fare share of Norinco crap they alway's jam or break. My cousin has a Yugoslavian M59 it dosen't look as well made as the Russianicon but it realy goes well and never jams.

    Never had a problem with my Norinco import its well made and reliable and it has a Crome lined barrel. The only drawbacks I can think of, the stocks are poor quality wood functional just bland and no military provenance and its easy to install the recoil spring backwards which can cause malfunctions but that's true for all models.
    My advice Surpman, go to a fun shop or contact your local sheriff to answer your questions. That way you KNOW your good.

    If it is a Chinese military SKS, it may not be as good a deal as you think for $200. These are currently the bottom of the barrel, most recent imports, still available from the dealers SKS's out there. If it is a Norinco import, whole different rifle.

    Last two guns shows they had these for sale by the dozens. They look horrible, like they are covered in grey mold of some kind. I don't recall the price exactly but it seems like it was less than $200, couldn't have been much because I actually considered buying one to fix up.
