Does the 10 round limit apply to .22 rifles?

[Bert Gamble]

I am going to buy a Henry lever action rifle and I see that they come with the ability to hold more than 10 rounds.

Is this legal in California?

[brreed1993]

In a detachable magazine yes, in a tube magazine no

[trob]

tube magazines don't count.

marlin 60's hold something like 15 rounds in the tube.

Yes, perfectly legal.

I'm just glad my FFL sells the Ruger BX25's. Love em.

I bought a Henry Frontier lever action in March of this year at a gunshop in Temecula. DROSed and perfectly legal. Tube fed rifles are exempt from the 10 round magazine rule. I am commenting specifically on the Henry levers, not about pre-ban, post-ban removable magazine.

Tube fed is exempt.
Go get that Henry!

Is tube fed, fed like a shotgun shell?

[Bert Gamble]

Thanks for the info. I am going to be looking for the Frontier model. Looks like a fun gun to shoot.

Enjoy the Henry!

Tube feed: (generally a tube under the barrel)

Rifle:


Shotgun:

Tube fed = LEGAL.

I was reading the laws last night and remember reading about the tube fed magazine.

Before everyone piles on brreed1993, Bert asked two, contradictory questions: one in the title to his post and one in the post itself. His question in the title was: Does the 10 round limit apply to .22 rifles? The correct answer to this is the one that brreed1993 gave: In a detachable magazine yes, in a tube magazine no. I didn't completely read through Bert's post and so I didn't have any problem with brreed1993's answer since I also was thinking the question was the one in the title. The second question Bert asked was: Is this legal in California? (referring to a tube-fed Henry lever-action .22). The answer to that, as several have pointed out, is "yes". Different question, different answer. This shows that we all must be careful when phrasing our posts and be sure we are asking consistent questions.

Thanks I thought it was the correct answer to his questions too, apparently other people didnt lol. Guess people dont read the title.

Completely understand about the tube fed situation.
I'm not clear on mag fed-yes or no on greater than ten round mags? Don't want to post a new thread.
