[Packy14]

Is this cali legal? What about on a .22 semi-auto rifle? I can't find the applicable laws.

Yes, DOJ sent me a letter informing me of my walther p22 that I bought when it first came out with the threaded barrel. I sent it back to S&W to permanently lock the thread cover to be CA compliant.

What about a bolt action rimfire rifle with a threaded barrel? I really want a Sako Quad rifle with one or two threaded barrels. Varmint hunting out in the woods with one of these would be very fun.

I found a seller on gunbroker who makes a muzzle brake for all four calibers and it's 50 state legal.

Threaded barrels on rifles don't count. They are prohibited on det. mag. pistols.

what if i permanently glue it w/ loctite red? i want to change to compensated tac sol barrel for my bucky.

Red loctite isn't permanent. You'd need to have the compensator welded on, or pinned and the pin welded into place.

Red loctite was good enough for S&W/Walther for when they had to recall all the AWs they sold in CA. And today, when you buy a P22, the barrel nut is just red loctited into place IIRC.

So, CADOJ allows S&W/Walther to use red loctite so as to not have a threaded barrel capable of accepting a .... , don't see why it wouldn't be acceptable for us to use the same thing, but I'd want it in writing first.

[Merc1138]

Well if the DOJ allows red loctite, I'd also want that in writing from them, because red loctite isn't really that hard to remove.(I know the ATF's definition of permanent for a barrel attachment doesn't need to apply here, since the length isn't an issue, but with the way this state is, it's possible they'd treat it like elmers glue.)

I suppose a case could be made regarding the walther p22 barrel issue if you got busted for having a threaded barrel that had a nut only loctited into place.

There are a couple of 1911 model 22 LR's that have this issue and can't be put on the list here because of it...
