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!

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.

 

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.

I talked about this in my sks build thread. A few people said this would be illegal to make a detachable mag fixed. I think it's OKAY. What say you?

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.

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.

Thank you everyone for the help! Does anyone know where I can purchase the conversion part at a good price?

It wouldn't be a conversion part but a standard part. Look on SKS boards for parts suppliers.

It can be done with a simple role pin. It's very easy
