Banana clips in my 10/22

[BigPimping]

Can I use my old 25 rd banana mags in my Ruger 10/22? I have had these things since the eighties!! Will Obamas Stormtroopers come for me?

In before it's mags not clips lol. And yes, it should be fine if you've had them for that long.

What are you talking about? These?





If you can't poke fun at someone on CG, who can you poke fun at?

[Chaos47]

Well it would not be "Obamas Stormtroopers" that has the issue.. yet.
I would be more concerned about State law.

The AWB for rifles specifically talks about semiautomatic centerfire rifles.

Since this is rimfire rifles the AWB does not apply, so yes you can use them.


Another issue is CA's magazine limit.
This limits certain ways of acquiring magazines but states if you own it prior to Jan 1st 2000 it is legal.

So yes there is no limit to 10 rounds for rimfire rifles. If you legally own a 10+ magazine there is nothing stopping you from using it

I'd be more worried about others not minding their own business and telling me, "Hey, you can't have those!".

Thank you gentlemen for your wit, humor and insight.

Unless you look like you've had it a long time , it is probably not worth the hassle if you're going to a public range. Is it worth it to you? You're out there shooting for a few hours and 2-6 different people say something about it.

I'd just keep it at around as something to have.

This is one of the few benefits of being an old fart.

I've NEVER been hassled about any mag or belt of ammo at any public range. At least one range has a policy against them and, if I ever went there, I'd respect and follow their policy.

The more people who openly use their legal +10 round mags, the more accepted it'll be.

[Chaos47]

Reguardless of Rimfire or Centerfire, if you owned it in California before Jan 1, 2000 you can still possess it and use it. HTH c good

Orly?
Can you use a +10 magazine in a fixed magazine semiautomatic centerfire rifle?

[gotshotgun?]

Nope, assuming it has evil features.

[Chaos47]

I know, I was being sarcastic.
The question was only for c good.

And actually it doesn't matter if it has evil features or not it only matters if it is a "semiautomatic, centerfire rifle that has a fixed magazine with the capacity to accept more than 10 rounds."

12276.1. (a) Notwithstanding Section 12276, "assault weapon" shall also mean any of the following:
[...]
(2) A semiautomatic, centerfire rifle that has a fixed magazine with the capacity to accept more than 10 rounds.

My point is:
Yes while possession and use of magazines is not limited by the magazine law.
The use of a magazine with the capacity to accept more then 10 rounds in a semiautomatic centerfire rifle that has a fixed magazine is illegal under the AWB.
And for that matter it is also illegal in either a centerfire or rimfire semiautomatic pistol with a fixed magazine.
