.22 Rimfire Legal Question

[Sampachi]

Could an individual take a tube-fed semi-automatic .22 rifle and:

* add a folding stock?

* cut the barrel down to 16.5 inches but still maintain an OAL of 26" inches with stock folded?

* add a foregrip?

I have a crazy idea for a project but wanted to see if I was going to violate anything before even considering it any further. I was under the impression that a tube-fed .22 rifle was exempt from AW laws. Thanks in advance.

Yeah, follow the flowchart. It's your best advice.

Rimfire rifles are exempt from California AW laws.
Rimfire pistols are not exempt.

16" barrel and minimum operable OAL of 26" is legal with any "evil" features.

Yes and yes and yes.
