    magazine or drum? 10 rounds here in PRK. tubular feeding device? as long as you can actually make one to fit your gun. the hi-cap laws still refer to rim fire too. I've seen youtube videos that look like there are 500+ round drums out there, but i'd be willing to bet those are home made.

    if you are asking about legal rifles you'd have to go with a tubular feeding device rifle because those will usually hold 12-15+ thought i'm not sure which one holds the most

    Most civilization is based on cowardice. It's so easy to civilize by teaching cowardice. You water down the standards which would lead to bravery. You restrain the will. You regulate the appetites. You fence in the horizons. You make a law for every movement. You deny the existence of chaos. You teach even the children to breathe slowly. You tame.

      After re-reading California Penal Code Section 12276.1 I guess it has to be tube fed. I'd like to pick up a pump 22 anyway just need to find the right one. I remember pre-ban my friends dad had a pair of Mak 90's with 75 round drums. Those were fun. Couldn't make all the way through without stopping to wind the spring though.

        Marlin's classic tube fed semi-auto is still legal and being sold down at Big Five sporting goods stores this very moment.LOTS of after market ''tactical'' goodies available for it,too.

          The rifles that have the tubular device that you feed into are your best bet. A 22lr rifle with a hi cap magazine would be considered an assault weapon? or that does not apply to 22lr?

            Current model Marlin 60's hold 14 rounds and can be had for as little as $150. Older ones are 18+ rounds, I believe.

                Hmmm...

                Any restrictions about the 'tube' being longer than the barrel?

                  There are no restrictions about the tublar magazine being longer than the barrel.

                  So, it can be as long as you want it.

                            Yep, my newer model 60 holds 14 in the tube plus one in the chamber (not that I've ever done it, too much work to put my hand in front of a loaded/cocked gun barrel . The older ones supposedly hold 18 in the tube (I think the cut-off year was in the 80s) but you can't buy one now unless somebody's selling theirs.
