NO THANKS

Are you serious?

My suggestion is immediately take that stock off if you didn't lock the magazine in place. The ruger charger is an assault weapon in CA without a magazine lock. Then there's the length issues...

[Kestryll]

I'm open to suggestions..

My suggestions:

A) Quit committing felonies.

B) Quit admitting to felonies on a public forum read by LE and DoJ.

Yeah, what the other two posts said. Don't fool around with firearms until you know what the laws are. Saying, "I didn't know" won't go too far with law enforcement. Ignorance of the law is no excuse. All here are interested in helping you but educate yourself as Califonia has some very strict laws on firearms and every violation gives more excuses for the anti-gun folks to increase restrictions.

[Merc1138]

LEO? Why do you need a LEO to educate you? Read the laws, look at the flow charts, read the penal codes referenced in the flow charts, look up NFA and AOW laws. Gun shop employees aren't lawyers or LEO, they know enough to be able to do business with you.

Local PD isn't going to give you legal advice. CA DOJ is not in the business of giving legal advice(you won't even get a DOJ lawyer if you contact them). BATFE doesn't really care about state laws and doesn't really have to respond to you(they have a technical branch, but good luck with that).

You're complaining about kestryll's way of handling "this" when you could have researched first?

Thank you Izzy for being adult about it. I will remove the stock and the ONE bolt that holds it there... Now, What am I missing? Is 26" OAL and 16" barrel length not enough? I'm confused.

BTW, what you initially described wasn't 26" OAL.

[Merc1138]

BTW, what you initially described wasn't 26" OAL.

I did. True, LEO are not required to help me. Your right BATFE and DOJ don't have to do anything to help me. Even the people on this forum don't have to do anything to help me.

However, What's the purpose of having forums if no one is going to help one another? I guess it's to sell "mag kits" and "build parties". Come on...
The fact is no one would talk to anyone like this in-person. So, lets show some respect toward one another.

Look, I'll start. I'm sorry.

There- Now B.L.U.F. what am I missing? 26" OAL and 16" barrel?

Yes, you can ask advice here and people will be plenty happy to give it. However there is a difference between "what if I" and "Hey, I just did".

Your original post mentioned the charger stock. The charger stocks aren't rifle stocks, and unless you've got a barrel in the realm of around 18" you won't make the 26" OAL with one. Additionally, a pistol in the state of CA(regardless of whether it's rimfire or centerfire) with a detachable magazine outside of the pistol grip is an assault weapon. Then you have the problem of what consitutes turning a rifle into a short barreled rifle, then you've got CA's stupid single shot requirement nonsense for off roster pistols.

What I suggest you do, is disassemble whatever it is you may currently have put together. Then post a very clear explanation of what parts you have, and what you want to do with them.

[Merc1138]

I've looked at the flow charts. The AW one says that rimfire does not qualify as AW, and the center fire rifle 30" OAL does not apply to a rimfire... So?

Clearly you did not read what I typed. Let me quote it again for you.

Your original post mentioned the charger stock.

You want advice, but you're not responding to the questions you're being asked. You're not going to get anywhere that way.

[Merc1138]

That is a pistol stock made for a pistol based off of the 10/22 action that is known as the ruger charger. The ruger charger is an assault weapon in California without a magazine lock(pistol AW laws include rimfire and are different than rifle AW laws, that's why they have a separate flowchart).

You ask for advice, ignore the questions people ask so they can give you advice, ignore the advice you're given, complain about not being given advice, ffs...

What length barrel do you actually have? You've said 16", but I'm 99$ sure you aren't going to meet OAL with a 16" barrel in that thing.

[Whoneedsafety?]

Thanks Merc. I'm 100% positive that the OAL length is 26 1/8" not including the sling attachment which is removable. If I include the sling attachment then OAL is 26 5/8"
