Under federal law, is the OAL of a folding stock rifle measured with the stock open or folded? A 10/22 with a folding stock and one of the new 16 1/2"Brls measures 25' with the stock folded. I imagine AK's and M1 carbines may be under 26" folded too? |

Quoted: federal is OAL mesaured with stock extended. some states such as Ca. mesure with stock closed/folded This is correct. Federal measures with the stock fully extended/unfolded. In the PRK, the measurement is made with the stock folded/collapsed, and the minimum length is increased from 26" (Federal) to 30". ANY gun that is less than 30" is considered an AW, and was required to be registered under SB23. -Troy |
