The SKS is a semi-automatic rifle. Don't cut the barrel shorter than 16" (or alter the rifle so that its OVERALL length, measured from the muzzle crown to the end of the stock, makes it shorter than 26 inches) unless you have prior approval to make a short barreled rifle and have paid for and received the $200 NFA tax stamp.

The SKS is an imported firearm. Don't make it less sporting and more combat tactical by adding a bunch of paramilitary accessories unless you replace a bunch of the foreign-made parts with USA-made parts. See federal law 18 USC Section "922r" for details on ths.

Those are the only two Federal Laws I can think of that an SKS owner might get in trouble over.

Always check for the most current laws and regulations, as they can change.
