    Thanks to a member here I am going to finally have an SKS. Very excited about this since I've been wanting one for a while now.

    Now on the evil stuff. It's a Norinco Paratrooper with a synthetic stock currently. I would like to put a Tapco stock on that's adjustable (not folding) and pistol grip.

    As I read the law I am still OK as long as I don't add the evil pigsticker, flash hider, grenade launcher or detachable mag.

    Does that sound about right to you guys?

    Don't fit it with a detachable mag and it's fine and don't have more than one evil feature out of folding stock, flash hider, or grenade launcher. Don't have a fixed mag over ten rounds either on it.

    The bayonet and pistol grip are irrelevant as far as MD law goes.

    Evil features only apply to semis with detachable mags. Enjoy your folding stock and FH on your fixed-mag SKS. :P

    Whoops, forgot about that detail

    "4) If this is a semi-automatic centerfire rifle that can accept a detachable magazine, does it have any two of the following: a folding stock; a grenade launcher or flare launcher; or a flash suppressor; If so, then it is banned and may not be purchased, sold, or transferred."

    Can I assume pubg is a video game? I'm a COD guy and that's it.

    Yep, its a once very popular battle royale game.

    You’re a CoD guy, so I bet you’re exited about the new one coming out? I haven’t been a fan of CoD for years. Probably since MW1-2. But this one piques my interest. Ballistics , bullet pen, weapon customization (looks better than previous games customization) , etc. looks like it’ll be a fun game and I’m going to give it a shot.

    But my go-to game for intense, heart pumping firefights and realism, insane weapon customization , and even loot grinding/farming is Escape from Tarkov.

    I’m also very much looking forward to Ready or Not. Can’t wait for that - alpha starts on the 19th , yeet yeet lol.

    Anyway sorry for going off topic there.

    I myself love SKS’ and own a lot of them. They’re my favorite firearm, and I can’t get enough of them haha. So congrats on your acquisition man.
