The ATF has never really cleared this up.As you know, chicom bayo's were banned in 89' or 90', but some were sold with bayo's a little while after.Some dealers just took it off and stuck in the box with the rifle. But the rule of thumb seems to be if you find a chicom sks with the bayo attached, its preban and you're legal. Hope that helps. |

"But the rule of thumb seems to be if you find a chicom sks with the bayo attached, its preban and you're legal. " Yea right. I'm not a lawyer but as I understand it, if you didn't put it on you may not be charged, BUT, they can confiscate your gun with no reimbursement to you. I have two pre-1989 Chinese SKS rifles, but due to the fact no one knew at the time what the future would bring, I did not keep the receipts (yea, I know). The bayonets are off, for as I’ve read, it is up to me to prove when they were purchased (which I can't now). Frickin laws, hold it beside a Russian or Romanian and most can't tell a difference. Only in the U.S.! |
