Since CA only restricts removable MAGAZINES over 10 rounds (doesn't apply to fixed tubular loading magazines like those of rimfire lever guns), and an ammo belt isn't a magazine, theoretically a belt fed rimfire rifle should be legal.
Oppinions?

Belts are considered magazines, so the same rules apply.

If belts are considered magazines, then what are tubular magazines?
Not magazines?

You can have them here in ca. Your belts are limited to 10 rnds. Other then that you are good to go.

Unless you had belts before 1/1/2000 and the injunction holds for the magazine ban.

Under CA laws...

They are all considered ammuniton feeding devices.

A "large capacity magazine" is an ammunition feeding device that can accept more than 10 rounds of ammunition. [PC 16740]

Fixed tubular magazine on .22 caliber any action (bolt-action/lever-action/pump-action/semi-auto) firearm (pistol/rifle/shotgun) is exempt from CA large capacity magazine laws. [PC 16740(b)]

Fixed tubular magazine on any caliber lever-action firearm (pistol/rifle/shotgun) is exempt from CA large capacity magazine laws. [PC 16740(c)]




Penal Code 16740
As used in this part, “large-capacity magazine” means any ammunition feeding device with the capacity to accept more than 10 rounds, but shall not be construed to include any of the following:
(a) A feeding device that has been permanently altered so that it cannot accommodate more than 10 rounds.
(b) A .22 caliber tube ammunition feeding device.
(c) A tubular magazine that is contained in a lever-action firearm.

Wow that runs great!
Too much fun!

There is a good chance I influenced the code as it exists now. When the regulation was proposed I went back and forth with the DOJ on this issue.

One make an extremely large capacity gravity fed tubular magazine with careful attention to geometry. In fact, how is a "milk carton" of 22LR not a
"large capacity magazine"? I worked on this for a while with the DOJ.
Almost certainly others pointed out the same sort of things. Tube magazines
and loose-pack 22LR were going to be banned.

My opinion is that you need to read CA PC and not just guess on what a LCM is. My other opinion is that the gun you listed is a STEAL at the starting bid. Too bad we don't know what the reserve is. I', glad to see that someone has taken over where LM left off. Hopefully, they will be making disintegrating links soon and they will work in my LM upper.

the new manufacturers website lists the upper for 1350. eric sold these for as low as 700 before he changed to the 1919 style version.
