If one modifies the rifle and puts another magazine on it, its no longer an SKS is it? In fact, when rifles are imported, if 10 compliance parts are put on them, made in the U.S., the law says that the rifle is now considered to be U.S. made and doesn't have to meet the sporting purpose import test. Russian and West European SKS are on the Curio and Relics list and can be imported because they meet the sporting purpose test. Russian and European SKSs do not have detachable magazines. BATF takes a speciman to a laboratory and they work on it. If they can get it fire full auto in 8 hours or less they present that evidence to the court to prove it was readily convertible to full auto, thus making it a machine gun, even though the owner didn't even modify it.
