SKS Microfinance was created in 1998.
The D and M models accept AK47 magazines whereas the standard sks has an integral magazine.
The only SKS carbines currently which require registration are the Chinese-made SKS-M and SKS-D models. Those could not be imported into the state after 1989, and had to be registered by 2000.
All of the fixed ten round mags are cross compatible, but cannot be used in the SKS-M or SKS-D, both of which use a detachable AK magazine.

Yes, bears have been taken down with much less powerful firearms, but the SKS is not a real good choice for this as it is relatively low power and only a medium caliber.
Value of ANY gun is based on exact make, model, and condition. A well worn Yugo SKS may be $150, while a pristine Russian SKS is $500. An average Chinese SKS is around $250-$275.
