Do you mean for the SKS? Something else?
The status of a folding stock is based on the over-all length of the assembled rifle in its shortest firing configuration. If it is not less than 660mm, it should be legal. Some stocks collapse shorter, but remain legal by blocking the trigger or some other method, so that it can only be fired when over 660mm.
Speaking to the SKS-45, the combined length of the barrel plus the receiver behind the chamber means that most any folding stock should be long enough.
Bullpup stocks are a different matter; please don't ask about those.

Yep, as long as you don't do anything to make the gun shorter than 660mm (around 26 inches), you are fine. Barrels on semi autos must remain 18.5 inches or longer as well. It is illegal to convert a gun to a bullpup, but you can buy one if the gun is manufactured that way. (Don't ask, stupid laws)

after hearing about some stores having the sks on sale i quickly stumbled upon the SG bullpup stock....looks very nice, one can only dream! stupid laws indeed...dare to dream, a bullpup for under $500 that shoots surplus ammo!
