California rimfire laws

[Penn25]

I live in Hawaii but curious about laws governing rim fire rifles in California. Are .22lr rifles built to resemble assault rifles affected by the same laws governing centerfire AWs?

They do not require a bullet button.
They will be exempt from the new AW reg. rules.
10 round mag. max. still required.

It should be noted that in the past, the gun grabbers have proposed language that WOULD have swept up rimfire firearms into prohibited classes. It got amended out but we remain wary.

Also note that...

Rimfire rifles are exempt from CA assault weapons laws.

Rimfire handguns are not exempt from CA assault weapons laws.

Tube fed rifles like the Model 60 can have more than 10 rounds.

I am attending the NRA 1,000 Man Shoot in Phoenix, Arizona next month.
1000manshoot.nra.org

I get to keep the Golden Boy Silver in .22LR caliber that I shoot for the event.
And there is the rub: the stock Henry Golden Boy Silver accepts 16 rounds of .22LR.

But if what you say is correct, then I don't have to get the mag blocked (if that can even be done).
Can you or someone verify tube-fed rimfire rifles can have greater than 10-round capacities?
What regulation should I be looking at to verify?

LMGTFY Emphasis mine.

16740.

As used in this part, “large-capacity magazine” means any ammunition feeding device with the capacity to accept more than 10 rounds, but shall not be construed to include any of the following:
(a) A feeding device that has been permanently altered so that it cannot accommodate more than 10 rounds.
(b) A .22 caliber tube ammunition feeding device.
(c) A tubular magazine that is contained in a lever-action firearm.

This is a definition section that is basically saying .22 tube fed and lever action tube fed do not fall under the definition for LCM and therefore are not restricted as such.

^^^^This. I have a Glenfield that takes 18 in the tube and a Model 60 that takes 14. Good to go.

Two classics indeed. The Model 60 is my favorite.

Are Calico M100 with a folding stock still legal?

I give it 3-5 years before they are AW's.
