Can Mossberg 151M Rifle (.22 LR) be imported?

[IAMSWUTIAMS]

This rifle was acquired by my father in 1939. It's semiautomatic, and holds, I think, 20 rounds. It's tube fed through the stock. Can it be shipped to California?
Not the actual weapon, but photo included for reference.

Why not ? There is one of these rifles for sale in the local gun store in my town of Oakley, east bay. Its quite old from another time, and it rimfire tube feed.

I thought that the 20 round capacity might be an issue. What about checking it as baggage on an airplane?

There used to be a rimfire tube exception. IDK if there still is.

Yes, there is:

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.

I quite like my 151M-B. Nice little shooter. I'm sure you'll like it, too.

Those old Mossys are very accurate... My M-44 is one of the straightest shooting 22s I own. Please post some pics if you get it as these are not real common.

And I found this information about taking it on the airplane. This is easier than I anticipated.
