Are Pistol Grips & Folding Stocks Legal on .22lr Rimfires In California?
I am thinking of buying one of these stocks for my Ruger 10/22

I have a 10 round detachable magazine on my Ruger
The law in Calif. is so confusing that most cops, and even some BATFE agents are unable to figure it out. Although the law says that .22 rifles are "exempt", here is a prime example of what I mean: A well established and longtime gunshop in Sacramento california placed a Ruger 10-22 with a folding stock, bayonet lugged flash hider and extended magazine in the window on display. It remained there for a considerable amount of time. One day, some "annonymous" tree hugging gun hater made a call and reported an illegal "machine gun" in the window of the shop. One raid later by BATFE and local law enforcement, the firearm was confiscated, and, the owner arrested. Even though he tried to fight the charges, and did eventually win, he went bankrupt and the shop was closed forever. Over a legally owned 10-22. Another true story out of california, a local home owner, law abiding citizen and gun owner returned from a day of target shooting with his Ruger 10-22 rifle. Sitting in the living room of his own home, while cleaning his .22 (which had a folding stock, flash hider etc) the neighbor (another hanky stomper) called and reported the guy for having a (can you guess yet?) "machine gun" in his house. 1 midnight raid later by black suited "officers" and he was on the floor at gun point, as was his wife, his kids were screaming in terror, his (legal) firearm was confiscated and he was arrested. several hundred thousand dollars in defense costs later, the charges were dropped, but the fire arm had already been "destroyed". Meantime, the poor guy went bankrupt, lost his job and his home. SO, is it legal............yes,technically. Would I do it in the peoples state of Kalifornia? hell no.
