I'm aware that I'm limited to 10rd mags that's why I was looking for the 10/30's. Anything over 10 rounds in CA is outlawed regardlessof 922r. Our gun laws are horrible. A criminal on the street can get a fully with ease but us law abiding citizens can't. I actually found someone selling 8 10/30 .22LR mags for $150 shipped. I think it's a deal and I'm going to grab all 8 just because they are so hard to find.

Anyway a folding stock would still be legal in CA because the AKT-98 is a rimfire rifle not centerfire. I forgot what the total length limit is on rimfires but I've been told even with the sidefolder folded on an AKT or WASR-22 it is still legal in CA.

Are you a member of AK47.net forums? Thats where I found my AKT and the mags.

My AKT actually came like this with the Romanian wood and black Bakelite hand guard. ANY stamped AK furniture set will work for these and I have swapped my Sar-3 folding stock with it before. Not sure if this is legal in your parts though. (Frankly I like the wood stock better)

Mags for these are impossible to find. Southern Ohio Guns or Gunbroker are your best bets. Expect to pay a lot....($35 to $40 per mag) The East German KK-MPi-22 mags are a bit cheaper ($15 to $20) but still hard to come by. These require a bit of work on them to function properly. (let me know if you find some and I'll send you over the conversion instructions)

One US company is in the design phase for a thirty round but I should warn you that if you put it on your gun it makes it an "assault weapon" and you will then have to follow the 922r parts game, it may also make it Cali Illegal.. I suggest you stick with the 10 rds.

I'm not too sure about it, but arent rimfires not subject to the 10 round limit law in CA? for some reason i thought you could have 30rd .22 mags

I saw that ad for the AKT mags over on AK47.net.. Was thinking about getting them then passed as I really prefer the KK-Mpi mags over the originals. I really do not like that fussy plastic insert and the fact you pretty much have to remanufacture them anyhow as each extra mag was made for a different gun. These really were specifically made just for one gun and where tested and tinkered with presumably for that gun alone. This is one reason so many are finding issues with feeding in extra mags not original to the gun. Way I figure it .. may as well just make better ones using the steel East german mags and inserts if I have to tinker with them anyhow...
