SKS spoon in SoCal?

I've been bitten by the C&R bug.

Anyone here bought an SKS in SoCal? Where'd you get it? Did you get a decent deal? Which country of origin? How well do you like it?

I've been looking for a few weeks for one locally. If anyone has one that they want to sell, please let me know.

Problem with SKS in Cali is that you have to ruin all collectable value - cut off grenade launcher, remove bayo lug, etc.

That said, I like Yugos best...

No grenade launchers, but the rest is ok.

There are several variants, Russian, Yugo, Chinese. Trying to get a feel of what people have and like, and where they got them.

Also, fishing for one

Are you allowed to bring non-CA-compliant guns into the state if you move there from a place where they were legal?

I don't believe so. It's crazy here, and about to get worse.

Here's a great flow chart for reference.

That chart is ridiculous. How does anyone comply? I guess I'd just have to be a criminal if I needed to move to CA.

Another reason for me to keep my happy hiney here in the redneck south.

Yet ignorance of the law is no excuse.

I believe that the law unreasonably complicated. So now what?

I'm not moving to KA anytime soon. But if I were, I'd keep everything I have and make sure whatever I carried (illegally) or shot at the range was KA-compliant. The rest I'd just save for when I later escaped back to free America.

I'm looking.

Prices vary wildly. I am not looking for a beauty queen, but something that's a bit of a project.

I guess I am getting bit by the C&R bug
