The rules about fixed magazines, domestic content and imported content are the fed's, not the state.

To legally replace the stock mag you would have to replace enough other parts to get it below 10 imported parts per fed rules. This site has a quick summary: Others are out there on the in-tar-net. And yes I've heard/read that hi-cap mags often do not work reliably on SKSs.
