Ive been reading about the GSG folding stocks and every one seems to elude to an over all length of 26 inches. I was under the assumption in CA it was over 30 inches is it different for rim fires? Awaiting my enlightenment and thank you.

FYI about the GSG5...
The MP5 style collapsable stock on a GSG5 is over 26", making it legal. About 26.5"-27", depending on manufacturer.
The UMP/PDW folding stock on a GSG5 is under 26", making it illegal (CA SBR violation). About 25"-25.5", depending on manufcturer.sigpic

To give the legal reasoning...
The only thing prohibited in the penal code at a length greater than 26", which is the minimum to not be an SBR, is a semi-automatic, centerfire rifle, which must be longer than 30". As such, bolt action, lever action, and single-shot centerfire rifles along with all rimfire rifles are set at 26" or longer.

I don't believe there is any folding stock right now that meets the lenght requirement when folded. The adjustable stocks meet oal requirement but I read that some brands are a tad short of 26" so make sure you get one that will meet oal.

Yes there is a folding stock that meets the requirement. I picked it up from ezoptic at the Cow Palace Gun Show and they basically had one manufactured with a 1" longer coupler so it meets the 26" requirement.
I didn't really like the other stuff I got from them, but the folder is good. I had to do some of the usual filing/ sanding to get it to fit.Comment
