SBI G3 chassis 10/22 OAL question

[u/CrumblingCanada]

Hi everyone, I’m planning on a 10/22 build with the G3 chassis. I was planning on using a Neumann folding buffer to picatinny adaptor on it. But eventually I want to buy a shorter barrel around 12 inch for it. With the folding stock I’m sure it’s going to be shorter than 26 inch.

So will I have to swap the stock for a telescopic buffer type adaptor that would be min 26 while collapsed? And would that even still be legal? Considering I could remove the stock and it would still be fireable. Or does the fact the buffer tube would require tools to remove make it ok? Our laws are so vague and I don’t wanna get in any hot water over it!

Thanks guys, happy shooting

Folding stocks on the 10/22 generally need somewhere around 18 inches to remain over 26 inches folded.

For telescoping buffer stock you can go down to ~12.5". SBI actually sells a complete rifle with a buffer tube stock and a 12.5" barrel.
