Rimfire "Assault Rifle"

[zoner]

Can anyone tell me if the CA assault rifle rules and restrictions apply to rimfire 22lr?

They do not. The law refers to “center Fire”. So, that excludes “rimfires”. However, the so called “hi capacity” magazines are banned. That’s a different law. So, no magazines over 10rd can ban imported into the State:

But switches are okay, right? 🤣 🤣 🤣

Any device which causes more then one shot to discharge with one pull of the trigger is not allowed as the gun becomes an illegal machine gun under the NFA.

The only thing you missed is armor-piercing ammo (if we wanted to say a SBR was also a handgun).

In OR, I can't have an FRT/super-safety.

California's Assault Weapons statues apply differently according to the type of firearm, they're not limited to rifles.

If the weapon in question is a rifle, the Assault Weapons Statutes only apply if the the rifle is centerfire.

But if the weapon is a pistol, the Assault Weapons Statutes apply to both centerfire and rimfire.

Please refer to Penal Code section 30515.
