      really? their current "series of features" definition precludes rimfire weapons. also, when you register long guns, DOJ never gets a description other than "long gun". so how would they send you a letter about this?

        The P22 got yanked for sale in CA last year because of its threaded barrel, couldnt do a PPT with one either. I forget what the final decision by the DOJ was not owning one I just remember the talk about it from a couple of buds.

    Huh????? A threaded barrel and a p22? its a p22. I live in the "live free or die" state so i have no idea how these bans work, or the technicalities. I have a p22 and thought this thread was going to be about the slide lock failure. I'm going to research this rim fire and threaded barrel deal.

    In 2003 the CA legislature passed an amendment to their AWB that the P22 was cosidered an assault weapon because of its threaded barrel. Smith&Wesson the distributar of the P22 is retro fitting all pre bill P22's with a permanant berrel free of charge to comply with the california law.
