M&P 15-22 CA compliant features - bullet button? high capacity mag?

[e0eli]

Hi,

I'm looking to buy an M&P 15-22. Does it has CA compliant features such as a bullet button and restriction to use a standard...I mean "high" capacity mag that is over 10 rounds?

Thank you!

1) A 22 does not need Bullet button.
2) In Kalifornistan, you can only get 10 round mags for the rifle.

Be careful... A 22lr AR pistol does indeed require a bullet button. It is only 22lr rifles that do not.

Rimfire rifles are not affected by CA assault weapons laws.

Therefore, the only thing to be concerned about is the length requirements.
Minimum barrel length of 16" and minimum overall length of 26".

Large capacity magazine restrictions apply to rimfire firearms.
^Exemptions for .22 caliber firearms with a fixed tubular magazine and for lever-action firearms with a fixed tubular magazine.

Why can't it use standard mags? I believe i have a tube fed that holds 14 or 15. Is that illegal?

For whatever reason my M&P 15-22 came with a pinned stock. Maybe other state compliance?

When I got my 15-22 from Turners, it had a collapsible stock and regular magazine release and a 10 round mag.

Large capacity magazine restrictions apply to rimfire firearms.
^Exemptions for .22 caliber firearms with a fixed tubular magazine [PC 16740(b)] and for lever-action firearms with a fixed tubular magazine [PC 16740(c)].

Because the S&W M&P-15/22 uses a detachable magazine, it can not be transferred to non-exempt persons (LEO, etc) with magazines that have a capacity of 11+ rounds. [PC 32310(a)] Which is why the S&W M&P-15/22 is sold with 10 round magazines in CA.
