Can you put a folding stock on a para SKS?

Not yet,.. but when this silly ban goes bye bye

can you put a folding stock on a paratrooper SKS?
I've read that it won't fit, but I am skeptical because I was under the impression that it was just the barrel that was shortened..

I look forward to the responses from you sks experts
Thanks

Not Now. Not Then.

No. The SKS is an imported firearm and an SKS with a folding stock cannot be legally imported. Under 922(r), you cannot assemble from imported parts a firearm that is illegal for importation.

do you have a link to 922(r)?
I would like to read it for myself.... not that I don't believe, but knowledge is power

thanks,
