Regulations on .22s

[mbaerg]

My buddy is moving back to CA from Ft. Benning and he wanted to know if there were any regulations on .22s. He wants to get a M@P SW .22. Are there rules on "evil features" for .22s?

No threaded barrels on pistols. Magazines of 10 rounds or less.

Rimfire rifles are exempt from the "evil features" part of California's assault weapon ban, but rimfire pistols are not.

Agreed

FYI.
The S&W(Umarex/Walther) M&P-22 has a threaded barrel and is considered an assault weapon in CA.

S&W (Umarex/Walther) makes a CA legal version (non-threaded barrel) called the M&P-22CA (slide is engraved "M&P-22 CA").

If your buddy were to bring back a few Tacsol uppers for Ruger MK pistols (unthreaded) he could be very, very popular.

Are those pistols (with mags in the grip)?

If so, then they're banned because of the threaded barrel.

If you think .22 rifles with threaded barrels are banned, you're wrong.

In most cases that would be correct. But if you think a .22 rifle with a pound of cocaine hidden in the buttstock is legal, you're wrong!

truly sorry with the back and forth above I thought of M&P 15-22.

Smith and Wesson sells a California Compliant version of the M&P .22

Same price as the standard one.

Other posters have been talking about rifles.

Is your friend interested in getting the Smith and Wesson M&P .22 Pistol, or the Smith and Wesson M&P15-22 Rifle?

.22 Rifles are exempt from the AW ban, pistols are not.

Threaded barrels on rimfire rifles are okay... BUT NOT on pistols...

So I can sell my AR-15-based .44 Henry Rimfire rifle in California?
