Assault rifle is a legal term, and laws vary place to place. Under MOST of them, it is a centerfire semi-auto rifle larger than 22 caliber, with a removeable magazine that holds more than 10 rounds, and a pistol grip. The SKS does not have a pistol grip, and has a fixed 10 round magazine. Not an assault rifle.

The SKS isn't an assault rifle, although some of the Chinese variations (such as the SKS-M and SKS-D) do meet the criteria for the definition of a "civilian assault weapon" by BATFE regulations. Although China was prohibited from further arms sales in the US in 1994, the Type 56 carbine (Chinese designation for the SKS) is still pretty widespread, and can still be found at gun shops, gun shows, pawn shops, online gun auction sites, etc.
All centrefire semi-auto firearms are classed as Category D under Australian law, and only occupational shooters may possess them. Collectors may own only deactivated rifles. And the SKS is not an assault rifle.

There is no such thing as a "semi-automatic assault rifle" except in the minds of those politicians and wealthy people who think they should dicatate what you or I can own. The semi-automatic SKS made by Norinco is worht 75-300 USD
No, neither by the true definition, nor the BATFE definition. The SKS with the detachable AK magazine, however, is covered by California's so-called assault weapons ban. Anti-gun journalists and politicians do have a tendency to (incorrectly) refer to it as an assault weapon, however.
Priceless, since a true SKS assault rifle would be a prototype only most likely. The SKS fires semi-automatically and does not have provision for full auto fire. If you have a normal run of the mill Chinese SKS it is worth 100-400 or so depenidng on condition, box, accessories, etc..
