Everytime I read about whats legal and whats not I get confused! Everyone says that a Chinese is not allowed to have a bayonet but others are. Mine is a Chinese SKS and it has the spiked bayonet. I bought it from a very reputable dealer here and I dont think they would sell anything that is illegal. Does the age of the SKS figure into this? I believe mine was made in 1957 or 1958 so would it have C&R status?
