Mounted an NC Star 2x7 pistol scope and with the cheap 550 round brick from Wal-Mart after sighting in shot a five round group at 50 yds that could be covered with a nickel. I am considering one of the 14"aluma-lite barrels. Very pleased and shoots nearly as well as my TC with the 14" stainless match barrel Purchased a charger at a local gun show.

Once a receiver is sold as either a handgun or a rifle that's what it is forever and a 10/22 receiver sold as a rifle dropped into a Charger setup would be an illegal short barreled rifle.

California considers it an Assault weapon under their assault weapons ban definition. according to California, any pistol with a magazine outside of the pistol grip is an assault weapon. the Ruger would also need the loaded chamber indicator and magazine disconnect to be sold in CA (if it wasn't allready banned because it is an assault weapon according to California).
