It's kind of a 3-fold question:
I got a 30 round steel mag for my M59/66 SKS, and plan on just using it as an "permanent" mag like the 10'er it was born with (til I get the money to buy more mags). But the law on these guns make my head hurt.
A: Can I keep the SKS factory-stock and still use the mag?
B: What's the bare-bones to make it "Legal" to use it if needed?
3: There a way to bare-bones it and keep the wood stock? (because I prefer wood over synthetic)
FYI: After tweaking the mag a bit (actually I just re-oriented the spring) I got it to both feed properly AND lock the bolt upon empty. So the "steel detachable mags are evil" hooplah... I don't know if it's true or I just got lucky.
