is it legal?

[REH]

Quick question and yes I checked the flow chart.

Is the S&W MP15-22 rifle legal in California?

Thanks in advance

Apparently you didn't read over it too well, if you did check the flow chart.
Rimfire ≠ Centerfire

Look at #6

I thought so. Just missed #6. Because it is a rim fire you can have all the goodies.
Thanks again

Yes, rimfire can have any and all features and have a OAL of 26" because the current wording of the law says Semiautomatic Centerfire.
No problem.

30515. (a) Notwithstanding Section 30510, "assault weapon" also
means any of the following:
(1) A semiautomatic, centerfire rifle that has the capacity to
accept a detachable magazine and any one of the following:
(A) A pistol grip that protrudes conspicuously beneath the action
of the weapon.
(B) A thumbhole stock.
(C) A folding or telescoping stock.
(D) A grenade launcher or flare launcher.
(E) A flash suppressor.
(F) A forward pistol grip.
(2) A semiautomatic, centerfire rifle that has a fixed magazine
with the capacity to accept more than 10 rounds.
(3) A semiautomatic, centerfire rifle that has an overall length
of less than 30 inches.

its sold in every gun store in CA... that should be a huge clue.

I'm sure that we all have missed some point or other when going thru the list. That's what make Calguns such a great organization, we have the help we need thru this forum.

One weird thing, sometimes a LGS will get a 15-22 that is set up for a state with more restrictions than CA - I got a 15-22 with no flash hider (non-threaded barrel) which I preferred, but the collapsible stock was pinned, from the factory that way. That certainly wasn't needed for California (and about a 30 second 'fix' to remove the pin :-)

Thats the part that confused me. I see them advertised with pinned stocks, no flash suppressors, even one with a bullet button. If there not needed then way? Maybe that was the only ones available at the time.
