Ruger 10/22 + Butler Creek folder OAL?

[m1919]

I'm looking at putting together a 10/22 + Butler Creek folding stock build, what's the shortest barrel I could go with to remain non-restricted?

I believe the default 18.5" carbine barrel should be fine, but I might be interested in a shorter barrel at some point down the line. Does OAL apply to stock folded or with the stock extended only?

Also, would the length of an added flash hider on a 16" barrel be included in overall length?

if im not mistaken (and if i am im sure we will hear about it right quick) the OAL is from the guns shortest form.
flash hider im not sure about but i have heard said that the shortest form has to be from non-removable parts.
so since you can just un-screw a flash hider id assume it wouldnt count in the OAL.

take for instance my DAR 10/22
with the stock on it and barrel im at 26 1/4
then my comp is 4" on top of that.
if you look at Dlask webpage he shows the OAL of a DAR on a Boyd stock with the flash hider off.

your topic of the folding stock came up a year or 2 ago.
i remember i went and measured my stock but i cant for the life of me remember the length of it.

is this the stock your talking about?

some stuff i found online about it.

OAL is 24.75" folded, and 34.25 unfolded, without the F/H. That is with the 16" barrel.

27 1/4 inches with the stock folded (standard length barrel)

so with the standard barrel your ok for OAL but with the carbine barrel youd be too short.

17.5 inch is the shortest bbl can go on the BC sidefolder.
