CA compliant 15-22??

[doubleactiononly]

I noticed S&W has a specific "CA Compliant" version of the 15-22.. The main difference seems to be the lack of a flash supressor.

But what is the point of this, since according to the flowchart (if I'm reading it right) rimfires are not subject to the "assault weapon" rules and can have as many features as you want?

probably means that it is sold with 10 round magazines instead of the standard 25 round magazines

yes that is correct - you get the 10/25 rounders (look like the 25 but have a stop @ 10)

you can get the MOE version in CA that already has the Comp in the front -> CA is very anti flash suppressor or any noise suppressor -> you can find the fake cans on tactical22.com - they also sell the limiters for the 25 rounders

When the gun was first introduced, they didn't have any real option packages like they do now. It was just the basic rifle, and it came with a 25-round magazine. Then they made a California-compliant package, and the only difference is just the magazine. Since then they've done some other optional things - like the MOE version, which I think comes with the flash hider.

ah thanks.. that clears things up

is the thread on the MOE version standard? IE can I put on any standard AR flash supressor?

I was looking at them in the store the other day. IIRC, the muzzle was not threaded, so no standard AR flash suppressor option.

But being as you can add a flash hider to a rimfire you can get the barrel of the base model threaded, the MOE version comes with a threaded barrel.

Are all evil features other than NFA and over 10 round mags legal for rimfires (flash hider, vfg, etc)?

It's probably made of wood and says "die u liberal hippie" on the stock, if its cali specific

I believe the MOE is standard thread and will accept AR muzzle devices. Nutnfancy has a video on the rifle in his long-winded style and I think he mentioned this.

[eldog36]

The threads will accept any AR muzzle device or barrel shrouds. No suppressors or 10+ mags and you're good to go. VFG's, AFG's bipods and whatever else you can stick on rails are safe as well except grenade launchers.
