What does the phrase “capable of accepting a detachable magazine” mean?
Most SKS Carbines use a fixed magazine. With a fixed magazine is installed, SKS Carbines are not “capable of accepting a detachable magazine”. However, SKS Carbines are very easy to modify for use with aftermarket detachable magazines—all you need to do is pop out the trigger assemble and remove the fixed magazine. Without a fixed magazine installed, an SKS Carbine is “capable of accepting a detachable magazine.” Warning: There are reports of individuals in California were arrested for possession of an illegal weapon, just because their fixed magazine was not installed when aftermarket detachable magazines were found in the general vicinity.
