10/22 short brl legality

[pitdogboy]

I Straight up need to know...

If I put a 10.5inch E.R. Shaw brl on my 10/22 stock config. is it legal?Or would I be creating a prohib? It is over 26 inches overall etc...

I am getting a buddy to check the FRT but need a heads up please.

Thanks dudes,

OAL>26" you are good to go.

I also thought this...

long as you didn't butecher it she's good.

Keeping receipts particularly if they have the barrel length should put you more at ease.

If it's a new made barrel and not a cut-down job,and you stay over 26" oal,you are good to go.

Throw a folder on it or have a short stock and the OAL goes under 26",it's restricted (ala Krinker plinker)

You could have a 106mm 10/22 barrel on there as long as it was made new that lenght and it was registered as restricted.
Now that would be a weird looking rifle!

Now we need Dlask to run off a few 11 inchers for us.

^ you betcha Ronin!

My concerns arose when my gunsmith mentioned something.

That being said Iam pretty damn sure I am GTG.


Perhaps I should chuck it on an post a pic for review?

A short Canadian made 10/22 barel would be awesome, i'd get one of those.

If the barrel is shorter than 18.5" would you have to re-register it? Doesn't the registration certificate show the original barrel length?

Whoops! wrong section,let my comp for too long and forgot where i was..

You can go any length even below 106mm. Its a rifle, not a pistol, its pistols that are limited to 105mm.

But a barrel under 106mm is a prohibited device by itself is it not?

Your kidding right ??????????

Do a little research....like about 5 minutes worth....and answer your own question.........

Only handgun barrels.

I have used the search function and found conflicting information in the various threads. I thought I would ask since I thought this is a discussion forum.

From what I can tell, one would need to have the reg. cert. changed to reflect the shorter barrel, correct?

It says on my latest registration for a couple of guns that you must report within 30 days "any modification to the firearm that changes its classification (non-restricted, restricted, prohibited)" I take that to mean that as long as the gun is still non-restricted in its new form then you don't have to tell them diddly.
