you sure that you cat cut it back to 18.5? measure and see
Just measured on my sks:
You could get a gunsmith to remove the bayonet assembly and install the front sight in its spot. Cut just after the split and recrowning/threading and installing a muzzle brake or muzzle protector and still retains 18.5".
From muzzle end to bayonet assembly I get 2"
ive cut a few down drive the pins out, pull off the site assembly, cut the bbl, cut the site off the bayo holder, push it back on and pin it it looks like you would just make it. or sellit to me ill repair it
The bigger problem is the issue with classification, at 18.5in you would be fine but at 18in you are making a restricted firearm and anything below that you are making a prohibited firearm.
It if had a 24in barrel then no biggy, for a 20in barrel it becomes more of a problem.

nobody is suggesting cutting it below 18.5 as that would not be allowed. ive done a few, just exactly as I commented. I'm sure you will still be long enough where the split it
What if you cut off the damaged part and weld on a m 14 muzzle brake they are over 4 inches long are they not ? Because its welded it would be legal ? Permanent repair . Just my thought ,I may be wrong .

So tempting to drive to Kemptville and rescue this poor SKS.
