Howdy Gunners and Defectors,

Can anyone cite the specific regulation (chapter and verse) that prohibits detachable mag SKS rifles in Kali. Thanks, PAX

I’m surprised since the set up is already technically featureless when bonestock with the Oem wood furniture.

There has always been discussion about the possibility of a Yugo 59/66 not being illegal with a detachable magazine because it isn't named as an SKS much like a non-Colt isn't an AR15. I'm unsure if I'd go that route or not without more legal reading but it was always a topic of discussion.

Unless one is at Gene Hoffman level of wealth, the cost to defend the criminal charge - with some likelihood of being convicted - seems to me to close off that idea.
