Short barrel folding 10/22

In the configuration you mentioned it would be restricted, but the mags don't have to be limited to 10 rounds, they are for a .22 rifle, no limit, you can use a 50 round drum if you want to.
The Evil Firearms Center once sent me an angry letter because I had a CX4 that had magazines with the word "CX4" stamped on it.
They said, a magazine is legal or illegal based on the firearm it is designed to be used in rather then the firearm it is actually used in. So my Beretta 92 mags could legally hold 10 rounds in the CX4 but the mags that were labled CX4 had to be pinned to 5.
Basicly even if the charger is classed as a pistol, you can use high capacity magazines from the 10/22 because they are "legal or illegal based on the firearm they are designed to be used in not the firearm they are actually used in".
The law doesn't have to make sense.... it just is.

10/22 with a bc folder and 16" barrel = 25"
"" 18" barrel = 27"
Depending on who you ask, the rifle will be either prohib or restricted when a folding stock is added and the rifle's OAL(when folded) drops below 26"
We had a discussion about it in regards to a m1 carbine here:

my 10/22 with 18.5" sporter barrel is less than 26" from back of receiver to end of barrel. A folding stock has to add length behind the receiver to keep it legal with the stock barrel. you could make up for it with a flash hider, compensater, w.h.y. on a threaded short barrel.
Flash hiders, even welded on does not count towards OAL anymore.
A 10/22 with a bc folding stock is 27" OAL when folded with a 18.5" barrel.
Non-restricted. You measure from the tip of the barrel to the farthest point on the stock when it's collapsed, which is the folding mechanism.
Wow, I did not know that. Thats good to know. I would like to put a 12" sporter contour barrel on mine with factory stock and a flash hider for looks, but was also thinking about doing the same with a folding stock. not anymore...You may be right, I'll try emailing the cfc for their answer.(which may be correct or not, who knows)
I still think a 10/22 with a folding stock that puts the oal under 26" when folded is restricted, not prohib. If I had a 16" barrel still, I would do it.
i want a barrel that just goes over the legnth of the stok a little bit I want to do it basicly for looks but I was wondering how would you get it classed I know you can do it though but they have to see it..
for the m1 I know someone that bought a longer barrel made it unrestricted went hmm I like the old look better and put the shorter orginal barrel back on and had it put back as restricted..

yes but I want to have it fold too... I dont care if its restricted or non restricted I just dont want to break any laws doing it.. I know a guy that can get me any barrel length I want with what ever twist I want and made out of what I want.. I just want to do it 100 percent legally... so if I say bought all the parts then threw it together would I have to call and change or do I do that befor I change it..
