I have a Norinco SKS and would really like to put a bipod on it, specifically one of those neat looking ones that uses the bayonet lug to mount since I do not have a bayonet for it. What is the legality of this?

Dear Sir:
In answer to your specific questions, the following modifications of an SKS type rifle WOULD _NOT_ BE A VIOLATION of Section 922 (r):

With respect to attaching a bipod to a standard configuration SKS rifle; standard configuration SKS rifles are not approved for importation with bipods. Therefore, the attachment of a bipod would be a violation of Section 922(r)

"standard configuration"???
a sporting bipod is probably OK, one that clamps on, or attaches by a swivel stud, not permanently attached to the gun.
