Yes, because i really belive that a tapco'd sks is banned in 32 states.
Got me there, dead to rights
Do I need to add some emojis? Is that what it takes to get the point across? Are you that dense?
Things like this is why the internet sucks now.
Or, it could be, that there is a little nugget of truth to your post( although I am sure you were completely oblivious to it) in that altering an SKS can remove it from being C&R eligible and force it into 922 compliance.
The fact is your post came across like so many others that are posted by folks that only read the first paragraph of a law then squawk like hens about “ That’s illegal” when they don’t actually have a clue to what they are talking about.
Then when called on it, turn their flat brim hat sideways, peer over the top of their white framed Oakley’s and defend their douchebaggery rather than owning the mistake( or mistaken intent of the statement)

I have one like that and bought it already bubba'd. It's fugly as hell but still shoots great. I really like the look of a factory wood stock but it just doesn't fit me right for some stupid reason.

Back on topic.......I have a Mini 14 with a folding pistol grip stock that I have just for the fun factor. I'm usually shooting it under 100yds and the accuracy is decent for what it is.
I bubba'ed a red-brown fiberglass stocked Norinco, personally... Chopped the barrel to 16", recrowned it, threaded it, screwed on a 3-prong flash hider, replaced the rear sight with a short picatinny rail, and mounted a Sig Romeo 5.
Shoots more precisely now than before and I like it; nobody else needs to... It's still nowhere near the equal of the least of my AR's in most any category I can think of, except maybe as a deer gun... For home defense or SHTF, or as a political statement, I'd rather have an AR.

When you make a statement that looks and sounds like a fact I want to know the cites. I figured it was a BS statement but you never know. The catch line adding a Tapco stock made it illegal.
You seriously need to work on your sense of humor and sarcasm writing. It lacks.

How's the Romeo line up for you? The SKS I bought came with a Scout Mount on the gas block and I tried mounting my Vortex Sparc II there. Even with the lowest riser, the RDS was so tall I had to have a chin weld to see it. I took the mount off and just went back to iron sights.
Yup. I'll be sure to fill my posts with emojis like a neurotic teenage girl so nobody gets a bad case of the vapors.
It was a joke, a poor one that a stupid emote wouldn't improve. That (almost) everyone jumped all over it was rather funny.
Some people have some unfortunately located sticks that need removing...
So, to sum it up, if one must have a traditional rifle stock, in 5.56 we have the following autoloaders:
1. Kel-Tec SU-16A,B,CA
2. Ruger Mini-14 with factory stocks
3. FightLite SCR (former Ares SCR)
4, H&K SL-6 - extremely rare and expensive
In 7.62x39 we have:
1. Mini-30
2. Izhmash Saiga
3. (Kovrov/Molot) Vepr - very rare, most came with thumbhole stocks
3. Various SKS
In addition to auto-loaders, you can have a number of bolt actions such as CZ-527, a lever action like Henry Long Ranger, or a pump action like Remington 7615.
The above omits all the thumbhole stock models, which are not held at the same angle as a traditional bolt-action rifle (e.g. no H&K SL-8).

To make sure I remembered correctly, just brought the rifle to my shoulder a couple dozen times; my natural shoulder and cheek weld puts the dot at the lower third line of the tube consistently. I can see how, if the sight sat a half inch higher, it would be a problem. This works just fine though.
Pair a Fightlite SCR lower w/ whatever upper that fits your application.
