50 state legal rifle, is there such a device?

[dieselrealtor]

Wanting to get a rifle (shotgun not out of the question) specific for keeping in the 5th wheel when traveling that I won't have an issue with, if such a thing is even possible. I would like to do some shooting in the desert out West so it won't be "just" for camper defense.

From what I can gather a lever action or semi auto with a fixed mag, 10 rounds or less. Is there something I am overlooking? Is it possible to have a "tool removed" magazine?

California & Maryland seem to be the states I need to worry about.

Prefer to stay with calibers I already own, .223, .308, 45lc, .44mag .357mag, 9mm, 45acp but won't rule out 10mm & 45-70.
Any suggestions?

Another thing I am thinking about is traveling into Canada, are there FFL's close to border crossings that have lockers or other holding type services?

I honestly think a .38/.357 lever gun would be hard to beat in this role.

/thread.

You probably could carry that into Canada, but it might be expensive. As long as it's over 470 mm, it's considered "non-restricted".



According to this:

You just need to fill out a form, and pay $25CAD, which is like $3USD or something.

A 20 gauge with interchangeable (one being long eye relief scoped and rifled) barrels?

Oh, and yeah, with full length brass shells and big soft lead bullets loaded over Fg powder.

Yeehah!

If I can recall correctly, I thought a shotgun was the only thing legal to carry in a mobile domicile? Somebody with quick Google - fu can help. I'm basically brain dead at this point trying to remember all the bull crap myriad of laws meant to trap an honest prudent person.

Obviously a gangbanger or thug would have an illegally converted machine gun in their repertoire of weapons. Oh and a ninja sword too!

What? Is that in some state like NJ?

IANAL!!!!

But i dont think there is any discernment between rifle v shotgun for such a thing. The 357Lever IMHO is possibly the best option. That or a cap and ball setup.....

Several years ago my FIL was traveling to Alaska, did some research at the time & bought a snake charmer .410. He stated they put a seal on it when he entered & checked the seal when he exited into AK. What I read from the link from Jettaknight (thank you by the way) it seems that there are other options, which I need to get more info on so that maybe​ I can get a camper gun or 2 that will be gtg various places.

Bears and large cats are another concern some of the places we plan to travel and hike as well. Really stinks that I have to figure out the strictest infringements before leaving for a long trip and restrict my travel arsenal accordingly.

What about some type of “scout rifle”.

You could just avoid those restrictive states.

going to try as much as possible, have some friends that haven't escaped from Commiefornia yet.

For a rifle a lever gun is the best! Get a Marlin Model 94 or Winchester/clone Model 92. Some of the short ones will only load 9 rounds and one in the chamber. Stay away from the Model 73's and 66 clones as they have a week action. The Marlin 94 and Winchester/clone 92 both can handle level 2 loads all day. It sounds like the .44 mag or .45 Colt would be better in some areas that you want to go to. A 200 gr or 250 gr RNFP round loaded in the Ruger range should do for small bear down to a tree rat.

I have shot SASS from the mid 1990's and have used the rifles I listed. Don't get a bottleneck round as not legal to use in the field to take game. The .357 may not be legal for game in some states.

Some good places to get a custom rifle in no order:

A lever action rifle with 24" barrel and full magazine (14 rounds .45 Colt) is legal in Commiefornia.

 

[Carmel Corn]

Bolt-action in .223, perhaps a Ruger American type that can use detachable magazines. The barrels may be threaded though.

 

[Leadeye]

A lever gun in 45 Colt is tough to beat for hunting. Good loads will drop anything critter wise inside it's effective range. A Henry would be a suggestion, but a Marlin is just as good. As an example I put a 325 grain cast lead slug through a whitetail doe lengthwise. At that distance it would go through anything.

That is an awesome reply and I commend you, sir, for taking the time. This is why I love INGO.
