Elmer Fudd 1 Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 im looking at building a ruger 10/22 for lamping/night vision in the truck and would have wanted to go for a short barrel, 12.5 inch possibly with a folding stock, now before everybody says that powder doesn't burn up until 14 inches etc does anybody know what the minimum length a rifle must be. if its shorter than the folded gun then its illegal so id have to either get a fixed stock or a longer barrel, any suggestions will be welcomed! fudd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walshie Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 (edited) I've got a standard barrel on mine (18" ish) and a Butler Creek folding stock. When it's folded, it measures about 27". The minimum length allowed is 24", so logic would suggest with my folding stock, the minimum the barrel length could be is about 15". All these figures are approximate. NOT the 24" minimum overall - that's set in stone. Edited February 25, 2014 by walshie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
