Tubular Capacity

[RPC56]

So how does the State of California view a rifle like a Henry .22, which can hold 15 rounds of LR, 17 rounds of Long and 21 rounds of short. Does Henry make a California only model?

Tubular magazines are exempt from the 10 round capacity limts, if that's your question. That includes centerfire lever actions.

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.

Tube magazines are exempt from the over 10 round magazine rule

Cowboy shooters made sure they were safe.
An uberti 73' revolver holds 12.

You mean "lever"?

Thank you all for your input. Now I can go buy one.

...If you're into max capacity rimfires, look at picking up a Marlin 99. It's a tube fed semi auto with a 22 inch barrel and it holds 18 +1 capacity. They're a little hard to find, but they totally rock. You won't be disappointed... Here's a video on it...

Idiots in NY didn't exempt cf levers.

Nominal 12 shots are potential felonies.

Nobody knows wtf for nominal 10s loaded with short rounds.

in cowboy action loadings. even more.

just a target range gun. might try hunting with it. but long and heavy.

What caliber is that? I have a Rossi 92, 24" octagon, that holds 12+1 of 357. I think it holds 13+1 38 special, if I recall right.

Not exactly true...

Fixed tubular magazine on "any action type" ".22 caliber" "firearms" are exempt from CA large capacity magazine laws. [PC 16740(b)]
^"any action type" applies to bolt-action, lever-action, pump-action, and semi-auto.
^".22 caliber" applies to all .22 caliber cartridges, can be rimfire or centerfire.
^"firearms" applies to pistols, rifles, and shotguns.


Fixed tubular magazine on "lever-action" "any caliber" "firearms" are exempt from CA large capacity magazine laws. [PC 16740(c)]
^"lever-action" means it does not apply to bolt-action, pump-action, and semi-auto.
^"any caliber" applies to all cartridge calibers, can be rimfire or centerfire.
^"firearms" applies to pistols, rifles, and shotguns.

This is true.

The CA "pro-gun" cowboy action shooting groups switched from opposing CA gun control legislation to supporting it once they were able to secure exemptions for their groups. Anti-gun politicians/groups were then able to use their support to convince netural politicians to help pass the anti-gun legislation ("it's so common sense that pro-gun groups support it").

The CA cowboy shooters selling out is why lever-action firearms are exempt from CA large capacity magazine laws and why single-action revolvers are exempt from CA unsafe handgun laws.
