Ok, here is my question: I know ammunition feeding devices (a.k.a. "magazines") over 10 rounds are illegal to import into california, but does that apply to .22 caliber magazines for let's say, a Ruger 10/22? I am a little confused on this issue because I can find nothing in the law stating it is ok, but I know some people on here seem to believe it is for a .22 caliber weapon.... Please clarify

Magazine with capactiy larger than 10 rounds illegal for sale/import into the state Magazine = ammunition feeding device .22lr = ammunition It is not legal to import or purchase a magazine that holds more than 10 rounds, regardless of caliber. Rimfires only get exempt from AW laws in regards to rifles, but not handguns. All other rules apply. |

I thought rimfire tubes were exempt from the law... Let me go look to see what it says. ETA:
So if you have a lever gun with a tubular magazine that holds 11+ rounds, or ANY .22 caliber rifle with a tubular feeding device, than either are exempt from the 10 round limit. You know, it only says ".22" and not rimfire (or else you could have .17 rifles also). A .223 round IS .22 caliber depending on how many sig-figs you are looking for...

Magazine or tube, if it is an ammunition feeding device, it is restricted to 10 rounds for new purchase. |
Yes, but it wouldn't work with the pointy bullets
