Or an SKS.

I have ask this several times lately here on FR and never gotten a response. What was the final tally on the late-great SKS confiscation? Anyone know what percentage they actually got?

I'd like to know what the end result was, too. IIRC, the confiscation was technically intended to collect only those SKS models which had been manufactured to accept detachable AK magazines - a tiny percentage of all the SKS rifles shipped to the U.S.

There was also some state court ruling which declared that an owner-modified SKS was subject to confiscation too, though I never heard whether the rifle in question had truly been modded to accept AK mags, or had been fitted with the extended fixed magazine that *looks* like a detachable type.

It might not hurt to bring these topics back to the fore, what with a potentially ugly election looming ahead.
