With respect to semi auto rimfire,Isn't there a minimum OAL of 26" even on rimfire? I'm currently building a shorty 10/22. Dlask has an 8", 9", and 12.5" option. With my stock I need a minimum of 10.5" BL to achieve the 26 OAL. I thought I had to get the 12.5" to stay nr. Any advice on this or links to regulations/ clarity would be great.
Thanks guys
26" OAL in the smallest firing setup (or completely collapsed stock if adjustable), with no limitations on barrel length (muzzle devices counts for OAL, not for Barrel length as long as its torqued on and not hand tight/easily removable)
I run a 12.5" CF barrel on a Tuff 22 receiver with magpul stock with just a thread protector. My barrel sits 1/2" past the end of the stock.
It also is beyond the required 26" OAL with all length of pull spacers removed from the stock end if wanted.
You have different options, a pinned stock on a shorter barrel will count, however id suggest running a longer 12-12.5" barrel. This would allow you some grace length to run a chassis or different stocks in the future if you change your mind.
The 9" vs 16" GSG 16 is a good example of this regulation, although now prohibited to buy or use.
22 also does not have any magazine cap limitations, if you're building one from scratch, get a receiver that can take the 22rd TUFF 22 Mags.
You can also mill out your stock 10/22 receiver to accept those mags as long as you don't make any modifications to the magazine itself.
Id also suggest getting the Grey Birch or IBI barrel over the Dlask if you havent picked on yet, they have tighter groupings from my testing, similar cost point.
IF you have any questions feel free to reach out, I've built like a dozen of those between friends and family
