MP- 15-22 bullet button

[offrdmania]

That is, assuming you were in possession of said high capacity magazine prior to 2000 ban. I believe it's pretty much a given that we cannot manufacture, import, etc. hi-cap mags.

I'm aware your operative term here is "USING". Just want to clarify things for those not so well versed in CA gun laws.

How can you get or own a hi-cap mag prior to 2000 if the said rifle came out in 2009 and the mags used are proprietary?

You can get a bullet button of you want... The rest of the california 15-22 owners would laugh at you.

Haha so true

Exactly.

the point is that it is not illegal to USE large-capacity magazines in that MP-15-22. Yes, there is a matter of how they are acquired, but the USAGE of them does not trigger a violation.

A couple examples I can thinkg of when I could legally posess large-cap mags to USE in a 15/22 would be if my LEO friend lent me some large-cap mags at the range to use in it. Or an FFL could lend them at the range as well. Now, if I went out and imported some large-cap mags today, that act would be a crime, but the USE of those mags is not a crime.

I would think that the 15/22 is entirely legal in California. The key thing is that it is a rimfire gun and not a centerfire.

IMO, any legal issue would be associated with a high capacity magazine that entered the state after the Kaliphornia hi-cap magazine ban.

This is true. When you buy the Rifle you get on standard length 10 round magazine. The compliant model has a fixed stock and a 10 round mag.

But since it it a rimfire rifle, it can have a folding/collapsible stock and still be legal (provided it doesn't end up <26" in its shortest fireable configuration.

Yes in California. The Compliant Model is for States such as NY and CT

He was very specific with his language and he is correct.

Possession and use of a large-capacity magazine, rimfire or centerfire, is not controlled. Period.

gotcha, forgot about those other "ban" states.

Can you show me where it is illegal to POSSESS a large-capacity magazine?

As Hopi mentioned, I was specific in my language that USAGE of a large-cap mag was legal in this situation. How the magazine was acquired may be of issue, but the actual possession of the mag is not a crime.

I own a 15-22 and got the barrel threaded for $30 and put my favorite flash hider on it. Completely legal. If you want the 25rd mags you have to buy them in AZ or closest neighboring state to you that sells em. They are legal to own and use but illegal to purchase in CA. If its illegal to own and use 11+ mags please post the actual legislation stating so.

whoa now........

the first part of your statement is illegal if you bring back the 25 rounders back into CA. Importation is illegal.

yes, you can buy those 11+ round mags in AZ, but it is illegal to import those mags into CA.
