What is an "Attached Tubular Device"?

Recommended Posts

“Assault firearm” shall not include a semi-automatic rifle which has an attached tubular device and which is capable of operating only with .22 caliber rimfire ammunition.  

Does this mean all .22 rimfire rifles with "attached tubular device" are not subject to evil feature list or subject to 10rd limit?   What is an example of attached tubular device?

Tube magazine.  It's basically a carve out for Marlin Model 60s and similar semi-auto rifles with fixed tube magazines that exceed 10 rounds . 

If you put a detachable 10+n mag in a 10/22 or an AR type, the ATF Bogyman will come looking for you.

Just above every maker that made a .22 rifle years ago offered a semi-automatic with a tubular magazine that became ostracized by NJ law years later. Savage, Ithaca, Marlin, Remington, Winchester, Browning all made some cool guns that were squirreled away when they became “illegal.”

And the old Remington Nylon 66…if you’re lucky enough to find one in good condition. Especially the Apache Black. 
 

I miss that gun. 

Picked one up at an auction little over a year ago Mohawk Brown from 1964. No serial number. Great shooter.

Something like the Marlin Model .60

Semi-Auto
15 - 18 round Tubular magazine (think under-barrel magazine tube like on a levergun or shotgun)
