Teky0101 6 Posted October 17, 2016 Hello Everyone, I was wondering if it is possible to convert a detachable magazine SKS into a fix magazine to comply with NJ compliance laws? Also is there anything in addition to the magazine change I will need to do to make an SKS legal for NJ? Thank you for your help! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
T Bill 649 Posted October 17, 2016 I know with a fixed ten round magazine it is off the assault weapons list so your GTG. I have seen fixed converted to removable, should be able to go the reverse if you could get the parts. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GRIZ 3,365 Posted October 17, 2016 As T Bill said as soon as you install the fixed magazine it's no longer an "assault weapon in NJ". You can then put it in a folding stock, put on a flash surpressor, and install every evil feature there is as long as it's a fixed magazine. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A few people said this would be illegal to make a detachable mag fixed. I think it's OKAY. What say you? this signature exceeds the 15 character capacity count Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
T Bill 649 Posted October 17, 2016 If you cannot take it out without dropping the trigger guard assembly I fail to see the problem. When I owned an SKS I could drop out that 10 round fixed hinged mag, put the rifle back together and then use the removable duck bill mags with not problem. Still never liked the platform and got rid of all of them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What say you? this signature exceeds the 15 character capacity count SKS is not banned by make or type like the AR15 or M1 carbine type. Some SKS were made to take detachable magazines and some were converted by use of a kit. If you convert a detachable magazine SKS back to a fixed magazine it is no longer on the banned list or not subject to AW rules. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Teky0101 6 Posted October 18, 2016 Thank you everyone for the help! Does anyone know where I can purchase the conversion part at a good price? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GRIZ 3,365 Posted October 18, 2016 It wouldn't be a conversion part but a standard part. Look on SKS boards for parts suppliers. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
