AR-15s, also known as modern sporting rifles, are as popular as ever. With tons of options readily available on the market, they’re fun rifles with endless customization, making them great projects. But what if you live in a less than gun-friendly state – say California, for example?
You can still enjoy a quality, state-friendly AR-15, because Guns.com has you covered. Our selection of AR-15s that are California compliant will keep you feeling like you live in a free state – at least while you’re at the range!
WHAT MAKES A RIFLE CALIFORNIA COMPLIANT?
Before we get into the good stuff, let’s clarify what makes an AR-15 California compliant. In brief, AR-15 rifles in California must conform to these restrictions for semi-auto rifles that do not have a fixed magazine:
-
They must have a total length of 30 inches or more, regardless of magazine type
-
No pistol grip that protrudes “conspicuously” beneath the action
-
No folding or telescoping stocks permitted/no thumbhole stocks
-
No detachable magazine/fixed magazines cannot accept more than 10 rounds
-
No grenade or flare launcher
-
No forward pistol grip
-
No threaded barrel
-
Magazine capacity is limited to 10 rounds
Now that we’ve covered what makes a rifle California compliant, here they are. Plus, we’ve added a few AR-style bonus picks in other calibers that are also California compliant. Of note, each of these options has a capacity of 10 rounds. All of these are available at Guns.com and can ship to other states as well as California.
