> Put a BSA 4x30 scope on my SKS. And while this is up i might as well ask, What do i have to do to make this NYS compliant ? I also have the 20rd tapco Mag. Im pretty sure that has to be pinned to only hold 5 rounds though.

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:

1. 

```
 Receiver

```

2. 

```
 Barrel

```

3. 

```
 Bolt

```

4. 

```
 Bolt carrier

```

5. 

```
 Gas piston

```

6. 

```
 Trigger housing

```

7. 

```
 Trigger

```

8. 

```
 Hammer

```

9. 

```
 Sear

```

10. Disconnector
11. Stock - You have this, so mark that off the list.
12. Handguard - You have this, so mark that off the list.
13. Magazine body - You have this, so mark that off the list.
14. 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.
