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

If we don’t use a folding adapter or stock….. I too would like to know if you can put a 1913 adapter on a chassis, and attach a fixed length stock to that, and have this combination be considered fixed for OAL measurement

Yes. A 1913 adapter + fixed stock counts towards OAL.

You can also use a collapsible stock and that counts with the stock in the most collapsed position.

Beautiful, thank you!!
