Mag needs to be pinned to hold 10rds.
Stock has to be pinned.
Bayonet lug must be ground off.
I am not 100% sure, but I believe converting to the Tapco stock means the whole rifle needs to be 922r compliant (which is a federal law, not just NYS).
For 922r compliance, there needs to be 10 or less imported parts on the rifle out of a list of 14 that the SKS has on the list. Because you added a pistol grip, but it is US made, it kinda just cancels that one out.
Here’s a list of the other 14 parts:
-
Receiver -
Barrel -
Bolt -
Bolt carrier -
Gas piston -
Trigger housing -
Trigger -
Hammer -
Sear - Disconnector
- Stock - You have this, so mark that off the list.
- Handguard - You have this, so mark that off the list.
- Magazine body - You have this, so mark that off the list.
- Follower - You have this, so mark that off the list.
So as long as your mag is pinned to 10 rds, and your stock pinned in w/e position you want, and a bayo lug ground off if you have one, you are 100% good to go. The Tapco stock/mag set included all the 922r compliance stuff you needed, so no worries there. Just be careful because the second you put a magazine that’ll work but is not 100% made in the USA, the rifle is in violation of 922r. Blame Clinton for that one.
