I havw read on several occasions that it is illgal to attach a batonett on a Norinco SKS. A SKS is not considered an assault rifle. 922r shouls not apply. besides that is for the lug. Why does BATF say no bayonett on Norinco SKS I know that the Russian version is C&R
 
The Chinese SKS is particularly governed by a set of "laws" that prohibit modification, to include detachable mags, bayonets and folding stocks. If those things had been on your weapon previous to the decree, you would be fine.
I do not believe that this is governed by the standard "assault weapon" guidelines.(ie- number of evil features)

Wasn't the SKS saddled with a no bayonet provision when it was first mass imported? My understanding was that it wasn't supposed to have a bayonet attached when imported. Just that this requirement went largely unnoticed and unenforced.
 
What "decree" exactly are U refering to. I, on the internett. have found nothing official looking that says it would be illegal or why so. This has been a big courosity to me. I have seen were Russain SKS are exempt under C&R, but exempt from what? I have seen many Norinco SKS in gun stores lately with bayonet. Every time I ask if it is legal I get the run around. were would I go to find out for sure?

fal308,

I believe the first non-trophy SKS imported into this country were by Clayco. They did not feature a bayonet.

I'm sure glad BATF and our Congressional friends are keeping us safe from bayonets. I know it has been a real problem in our area. ;)
