GrinNude I'm not even sure our lawmakers know which end the bullet comes out. Two identical rifles, the Russian SKS and the Chinese SKS. These are actual military surplus rifles and not something built to look like a military rifle. If there were any differences it was in the quality of the finish. The Russian SKS was placed on the "Curios and Relics" list which meant the "ban" didn't apply, while the Chinese version went from being available with the bayonet attached, to being sold with the bayonet in the box but not attached, to being sold with the bayonet removed from the box but you could go back the next day and buy the bayonet separately. As near as I can remember, if the rifle was purchased before a certain date you could legally have the bayonet attached and convert the rife to accept 30 round mags, but after a certain date you couldn't. Of course it would be next to impossible to tell if one was legal or not by just looking at it. And obviously the Russian version wasn't any "less dangerous" than the Chinese, and removing the bayonet from the Chinese version didn't make it less dangerous than it was with the bayonet. All a bunch of BS dreamed up by people without a clue to make other people who didn't have a clue feel safer.
