10/22 Takedown stock legality

[bullitt08]

Hello. This is my first post on this site and need some help with a question. I am new to guns and what is legal and not legal. I really want a .22 rifle and like the fact that the Ruger Takedown easily comes apart for storage. My question is I am not to comfortable with the way I have to hold a rifle and prefer a pistol grip. My question is are the below kits they sell om ebay and online 100% legal to have in California? This is just going to be a gun I go target shooting with and nothing else.

This is another one I was looking at. I know this one would have to be cut in order to keep the takedown feature.

As the law stands today a pistol grip is not an issue on a rimfire rifle.
The issue you may run into with a folding stock like that is that it might be under 26" when folded.
Federally they measure from the least compact fireable configuration
California measures from the most compact fireable configuration.

I have no idea what its length is folded, and it would depend on the barrel length you use too.

I have the Butler Creek folder on one of my 10/22s. It is 9 inches from the rear of the folded stock to the breech face. It would be under the legal length with a 16 inch barrel so I have to use 18 inch barrels in it.

The take down uses a 16.62 inch barrel. Check with the manufacturers to see how long their action is when folded.

Good luck, sounds like a cool plan.

The takedown doesn't fold, it comes apart. I'm not too familiar with it, but I don't think it is fireable when taken down. Not sure if they make aftermarket replacements for the takedown stock. Have you ever held a rifle? The 10/22 is pretty lightweight. You should probably be comfortable with a standard rifle stock. Again I am no expert, but if the pistol grip is the most important to you, then maybe skip the takedown and get a regular 10/22, there are numerous stocks for it. The takedown is meant for packability and it is easily stowed, but if storage is your main concern, probably a handgun is a better choice. Takedown is super cool. But I don't think it can serve every purpose.

The aftermarket stock OP is asking about the legality of folds.

No the Takedown is not fireable when its taken down so no the 26" is not a concern at that point. But in a fireable configuration under 26" (Which might be possible with a folding stock and the wrong barrel length) it is illegal in CA.

Think I will just get a regular 10/22.

Move out of Ca and not have to worry...

Recoil system on a 22? Now I have seen it all.

AGP now makes a folding stock specifically for the TD. Link:

Is this a go for California? (e.g. 26" length folded?)

I have the agp stock installed on my TD and love it.

Just did a very quick measurement on mine estimating from pictures of the stock; it looks like it falls short of CA standards. Grrrrrrr
