Quoted: What's the difference? Quoted: Quoted: Is it a 22lr barrel or 5.56? What's the difference? The difference is that a 22LR rimfire barrel has smaller land & groove dimensions which would make shooting 223 Rem dangerous. 22LR = 0.217" / 0.222" (diameters for lands / grooves) 223 Rem = 0.219" / 0.224" It certainly looks like a centerfire rifle with a 22LR conversion kit dropped in. Let's assume it is a regular AR barrel. Set up as a rimfire rifle, it is 100% legal to sell, own and shoot. There is no problem owning a centerfire bolt that fits. Assuming the barrel has that 0.224" bore and has a gas port and gas tube, if the owner wants to shoot centerfire ammo, he has to - * Have a fixed magazine that holds <10 rounds OR * Remove the pistol grip * Remove the flash hider * Pin the stock so it does not telescope Even in its collapsed condition, the rifle is more than the legally required minimum of 30". If there is no gas system, it can legally be used as a manually-operated, magazine fed, centerfire rifle; or as a single shot rifle. You just have to know the laws and configure the rifle in a legal manner. |

There's also this Australian rifle to consider. In fact, it was featured in a recent arfcom thread; I believe the video was about shooting pest kangaroos. Pump action AR - legal in all 50 states  |

Pump action AR - legal in all 50 states https://i.imgur.com/oFuYnHP.jpg That thing is ugly. The Troy .223 pump action rifle looks better, but years ago I heard they had issues with them.  The stock on that Troy rifle leaves something to be desired when it comes to looks. |

Quoted: Since the .22LR bolt has a 5.56 chamber adapter, it sure looks like with a normal bolt and mag you'd have a normal AR. I bet most CA FFL's wouldn't want to transfer it. To be an AW in California it must be semi automatic and center fire. Since this is Rimfire it’s not an AW. The easiest way to make any AR California compliment it to separate the upper and the lower. It’s no longer semiautomatic. Cal DOJ has said this is a compliance option. CALDOJ doesn’t care about the ease of conversion |

Quoted: A 6920 with a conversion kit? Based Colt  That was my thought. From the pic it just looks like a 6920 with the CMMG conversion kit. Attached File |

CALDOJ doesn’t care about the ease of conversion Yup, the 22 conversion kit is a fun way to get around it. But any company can simply just separate the lower and upper and send it (assuming lower isnt banned by name) and you are compliant. No one fucking cares here, run your shit how you want. |

Looks like it has the CMMG conversion kit with but with 10 rd mags. PSA won’t ship this to CA |

Quoted: Look at that bolt That barrel is chambered for a .223 case It also says 1:7 twist I’m betting that gun is just a regular 6920 with a .22 conversion Quoted: Quoted: Is it a 22lr barrel or 5.56? Look at that bolt That barrel is chambered for a .223 case It also says 1:7 twist I’m betting that gun is just a regular 6920 with a .22 conversion That's what it looks like to me. That's a standard barrel, and chamber. That's an M4 with a .22LR bolt adaptor. I like it

Quoted: That conversion kit has the 5.56 chamber adapter instead of the collar for a 22 barrel. Quoted: Quoted: Is it a 22lr barrel or 5.56? I should clarify I was asking what was stamped on the barrel, I know what a conversion bolt inset is, I have one. |
