    short 22

    I have a very short 22 that I brought so I could use the youth stock on my other 22 . Now its just occurred to me since the unused action its not in a stock could this be deemed Illegal length ?

    I think your fine, otherwise every time you stripped a ride to clean it you would be braking the law.
    I have a lot of rifles stored out of there stocks at the moment to maximise safe space and it's been checked a couple of times with no problems.

    If you were carrying it around and using it without the stock then that would be another story

    I thought the minimum length was measured when in its normal (fireable) config. Breakable actions closed, etc. IN a stock.
