Is it a grenade launcher or just the detent for one? If it is the actual launcher, what a bunch of morons wrote that one since no one actually has the grenade launcher!

Actually, I know several folks that own a 40mm NFA compliant grenade launcher. And the 37mm Grenade launchers are not NFA items and are basically cash and carry (order and own).
You've forgotten the 22mm spigot style launcher for rifle grenades. Under the '94 ban, an A2 flashhider was counted as both a flash hider and a grenade launcher because it had an OD of 22mm. Manufacturers of muzzle brakes had to make them either <20mm or >24mm OD so they could not fire a rifle grenade. So, spin off the flash hider and live with a muzzle nut or brake, this ban does not include "... or threads ..." as the '94 ban did.40mm launchers are legal, but go through the NFA process.
37mm launchers are legal and cash/carry as long as you only use flares and a handful of other non-weapon projectiles.

So, will the SKS spigot be considered TWO features under the future MD test, thereby automatically branding them assault weapons?
Introduced in January 2012, the MR762A1’s Suggested Retail Price is $3,995.
Good luck with this interpretation. Have you actually found a dealer who will sell piston ARs as cash and carry?Yes, the HK MR556 would be legal under the new law. It is NOT an AR-15. The AR uses a DI gas system and the MR556 uses a short stroke piston action.

I agree that a Yugo SKS 59/66 is not going to get banned... which is why I sold mine for an SKS-M.
When I say "no one" I mean the 99.9% who do not own one. But same question: is it the launcher itself or the ability to install one (the detent)?
Not all SKS's have it. So, No... Also only SKS's with detachable mags would be considered banned assault weapons (aka SKS-D and SKS-M) and perhaps the M59/66 modified to take detachable mags. A stock 59/66 with the flash hider/grenade launcher is legal because it does not have a detachable magazine.
The MR762 is an AR10. An AR10 is not an AR15.
Tell that to my current ffl who is pushing every semi-automatic rifle greater than a .22 as regulated.....
You need a new FFL...
