CA Compliance:
California compliance
- Status: Legal to own in California.
- Configuration: Fixed magazine (CompMag), installed by WBT. The CompMag is a fixed 10-round magazine that stays in the rifle and loads one round at a time from the side through a loading port, so the rifle keeps its pistol grip, stock and muzzle device and is never opened to reload. It fits most rifles that take a standard AR-15, AR-10 or AK-47 magazine.
- Magazine: 10-round CompMag, fixed in place; loads from the side.
- Your options: If this page shows a compliance selector, choose the build you prefer and we configure it that way. If not, this is the configuration we offer by default; on AR-pattern rifles and some AKs a different build is often possible, so ask us before you order.

About this rifle
Palmetto State Armory AK-556 13.7" (Soviet Arms 11.5" Rail/M4 Stock/JMAC Flash Hider) is an AK-pattern rifle chambered in .223/5.56 with a 13.7" barrel and a 10-round capacity. Finish: Black. An AK has a one-piece receiver that does not open like an AR, so the MagLock approach is not available; AKs are built featureless or with a CompMag, as described above.
