Regulations on .22s

[Mssr. Eleganté]

If .44 Henry Rimfire is a .44 caliber rimfire cartridge then you are in luck. If .44 Henry Rimfire is .50 BMG then you are out of luck.

Are those pistols?

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

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

I posted info about the S&W M&P-22 pistol.

S&W also has rimfire rifles called the M&P-15/22.

Since the OP asked about "a M@P SW .22", I assumed he was referring to the S&W M&P-22 pistol.

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

That sucks, I'd never thought of how the roster affected the Ruger stuff.

[TKM]

It only affects the Ruger pistols because the receiver is serialized. Can't drop test just an upper.

Clark and Volquartsen will cheerfully($$$$) change out the barrel in your Ruger upper, but I don't see any way to do that with the Tacsol products.


Tacsol uppers for Buckmarks are good to go, but I have about a dozen Rugers and no Brownings. Phooey... May have to do it some day.

Given the nil likelihood of ever really needing to suppress a .22, I wonder if it might be possible to just take it to a gunsmith and have the threading removed.

[TKM]

Blind pinning or turn the threads off/cut down the barrel.

Sucky options to be rewarded on election day.
