“In the configuration of this weapon, it would be illegal for him to import it into the state,” Paredes said. “The SKS is generally legal in California if it has a 10-round magazine. And it has a continuous wooden tree. It looks like a shotgun,” said Sam Paredes, executive director of Gun Owners of California. “It`s pretty much an ancient rifle. There are hundreds of thousands of them privately owned in California, all legal. According to officials, a 19-year-old gunman used a rifle he had bought legally in Nevada and illegally brought to California to kill two children and a man at a food festival before being killed by police. Although superficially similar to the more well-known and modern AK-47, the standard SKS does not have a pistol grip or detachable high-capacity magazine that would make it illegal under California`s definition of assault weapons. A variant with a grenade launcher attached would be illegal. Completely legal.
I bought one from Sportsmans Warehouse a month ago. I recommend it. Ammunition magazines in California are generally limited to a maximum of 10 bullets, although this is being challenged in court. That, added to the pistol`s grip, would qualify it as an assault weapon that would have to be registered if it belonged to California and could be smuggled into the state. But police first named a gun that would be legal under California law, and only later clarified that he was using a military rifle he had purchased in Nevada but could not legally bring into California under the state`s assault weapons ban, which is among the toughest in the country. Under a California law passed on June 1. Residents under the age of 21 are not allowed to purchase rifles or shotguns unless they are in the military or law enforcement. People 18 years of age and older can purchase rifles in Nevada. Yes, absolutely correct. Even with a bayonet.
It has no foldable or foldable stock, pistol grip, detachable magazine and generally no hidden lightning. The fixed charger means everything should be fine, I delivered a Type 56 factory to an FFL and I live in New York. Strangely, apart from NYC, it`s easier to get rifles and shotguns in New York than in California, you just need to fill out a 4473 and walk out with it the same day. However, unlike CA, we can`t have muzzle breaks on rifles with detachable mags. Good luck with a factory SKS, these are great weapons, especially for people like us in the crappy gun laws. If you put a detachable charger on it, you need to make sure that your mouth device is not considered a lightning hiding place. “This gun could not be sold in California. This weapon cannot be imported into the state of California,” said California Attorney General Xavier Becerra. “The scope of California law stops at our borders, and so we can`t control what other states do, and that`s what makes it so difficult.” A law enforcement official told The Associated Press that investigators believe the shooter was using a WASR-10, a Romanian variant of the AK-47, which sold for about $700 at Big Mike`s Guns and Munition in Fallon, Nevada, where he picked up the gun. The last time I checked, that was it. Removable mags don`t make it correct right away.
Te sks is fine, but only if the grenade launcher valve has been removed. These are the details that make the difference between whether the rifle could have been legally imported into California. This is the main reason why I want to get an SKS for my first gun. I would really love to have the “skydiver” but the ones I saw are much more expensive. Gilroy Police Chief Scot Smithee first described the weapon as “SKS,” a semi-automatic rifle developed by the Soviet Union during World War II and later widely manufactured in Eastern Europe and China. It has a traditional wooden tree with a fixed store that can hold 10 balls. Officials later clarified that the shooter was using a semi-automatic variant of the AK-47, which appears to have a detachable magazine and a wooden stock with a pistol grip. Do not replace the stock with a stock with a pistol or foldable/foldable grip.
