Does anyone know where I can get a bayonet lug for a Chinese sks? It's legal to have one here in my state...thanks in advance, for anyone who could help.

Here's one place. Select the type of SKS you have and look for item 5A, I think.

I'm sure there are other places but this the first that came to mind. You might try a search on the web for "sks parts".

Thanks! Now I can get my rifle back to original condition! It's cool to own a piece of history!

I'm really excited about that link. I thought I would have to make my own lug and weld or solder it on there. Maybe I could, anyway...hmmm. It wouldn't look very good if I made my own, though. Maybe I should just buy one. What do you think? I'm excited that I can get it back to the way it looks in the history books. I have a picture with thousands of Chinese soldiers marching with bayonets unfolded...it looked really cool, so I just had to get a bayonet on my rifle, too. Then I can show it off to everyone....

Try gunbroker.com. I found a recoil assembly for my sks shipped to my doorstep for less than $11.00 (brand new!). The cheapest I could find it on line anywhere was $19.99 then at least $6 for shipping. They have alot for the sks

Who told you it was legal in your state? From what I understand Norincos (Chinese) are not C&R eligible, The bayonets were removed per the order of the BATF upon importation. At this point, it seems that it would be illegal to reinstall a bayonet.

Here you go. Below was copied from SKSboards History & Info.

Unfortunately, the 'golden age' of the cheap SKS came to an end. Anti-gun zealots abhor semiautomatics, military guns, and inexpensive guns. The SKS is all of the above, and their popularity among the working class alarmed those who prefer an unarmed populace. Through their minion, Bill Clinton, a trade agreement was reached that banned import of guns and ammo from China. The BATF also ruled that bayonets on Chinese SKSs were verboten – if you have one on your Chinese SKS it needs to be removed to be legal. They also banned 7.62x39mm ‘Armor Piercing' (steel core) ammo. Nevertheless, imported surplus Russian SKSs and ammo took up the slack for a while, albeit at a higher cost. Next, Clinton signed a similar agreement with Russia and ended the import of those SKSs. Hollow and soft point and FMJ (from certain countries) ammo still continues to be allowed in, but there will be no more SKSs from China or Russia for the foreseeable future. Fortunately for us, surplus 1957 to 1960 vintage Romanian SKS's have been imported as of late, followed by the current surplus Yugoslavian Model 59/66 SKS's with the grenade launcher, giving Americans another chance to own one of these rifles. In addition, some of the rather different Albanian version have recently been imported. Though a bit crude, these are especially interesting to collectors.
