Are .22LR SBR not a thing anymore?

[Duke878]

There was a string of threads a while ago (6+ months) with people showing off their Short Rifles that meet the minimum .22s. Are these still viable or is there a restriction that im not aware of that make THESE prohib?

Mucho gracias!

An SBR is an American thing, we have short rifles that meet minimums. However make/model, calibre and action type have more to do with legal class than barrel length alone.

Cool thanks! Sorry for the wrong term.

Anyone have any info on "short rifles that meet the minimum"?

Nope, no change. They're still good to go.

Just to clarify, if it's 26" or more OAL it's Non-restricted? Less than is restricted upto xx length makes it prohib?

There do seem to be the odd exception to the minimum length rule. I have a Henry Mares Leg which measures (and is advertised) at 25" OAL which is classified NR.

Our regulations are so strange.

The long explanation is that a one criteria for a restricted firearm is defined as:

(c) a firearm that is designed or adapted to be fired when reduced to a length of less than 660 mm by folding, telescoping or otherwise, or

It doesn't say a firearm has to be over 26" to not-restricted, it specifically says when the length is reduced from greater than 660 mm (26") to less than 660mm that makes it restricted.

A fixed stock Mare's leg that has its OAL less than 660mm is non-restricted because it doesn't meet the criteria to be prohibited (not a handgun, not a full auto, not a named prohib) or the criteria to be restricted (not a handgun, not a semiauto center fire with a barrel length less than 470mm, not a firearm that can be fired when made shorter than 660mm, not a named restricted)

Gun laws (regardless of countries) are strange
- In one place, suppressor are evil and prohibited... while at some other place, they are either unregulated of mandatory for some activities...

And then for some reason that makes zero sense the short barrel Mare’s legs are restricted

I'm mistaken nevermind.

The 9" Mare legs? are restricted because they are considered to be handguns and thus restricted as a handgun.

Looks like you’ve been on this site a while ? You should know by now ?

Those look great! The first two Magpul Hunter stocked rifles, did you cut down the forends (the first one looks like you even joined the tip back onto it??).

Thanks, yes I cut a section out of the forend of the fixed stock. The first takedown forend was also cut, it has now been replaced with a Magpul Backpacker forend (Brownells sells them individually).

 

[Super Mario]

How does that work with the adjustable stock ?

 

[ShawnC6]

Lots around from dlask barrels.

Looking for a receiver for another one.

That cut down OEM forend on the first takedown doesn’t look half bad. It almost looks like it belongs aside from the slight lip on the front end of the buttstock half. I assume that the backpacker forend would still have this same issue because it’s not quite as wide as the Hunter stock forend?

Thanks again.
