CA Compliance:
California compliance
- Status: Legal to own in California.
- Configuration: Featureless, built by WBT: grip fin in place of the pistol grip, stock pinned in a fixed position. The magazine release works normally, so reloads are the same as anywhere else.
- Magazine: Standard detachable, 10-round.
- 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.
- Upgrades: Prefer a more comfortable featureless grip (Sparrow Dynamics, Juggernaut Tactical, Strike MegaFin)? See California Compliance Upgrades. Want a muzzle brake in place of the thread protector? Add either to this order and they ship installed.

About this rifle
Q Boombox is a large-frame AR chambered in 8.6 Blackout with a 16" barrel and a 10-round capacity. Finish: Gray. WBT configures it for California at our Yuma, Arizona warehouse before it ships.
Manufacturer details
If you want polite, go somewhere else. If you want better, you’re in the right place.
Look, the Boombox is what happens when you stop asking the industry for permission and just build the gun you actually want to shoot. We took everything we learned from the Honey Badger revolution, fed it steroids, and launched it into the 8.6 Blackout universe. The result? A compact, lightweight, stupid-simple SBR that hits like a freight train, runs like a sewing machine, and stays laughably quiet when suppressed.
This isn’t another dusty AR-15 clone for guys who brag about parts lists and shoot paper at 25 yards. This is a purpose-built 8.6 BLK system - 1:3 twist, subsonic stabilization, big bullets, big energy, and a short barrel that actually performs instead of just looking cool on the internet. You get real terminal results from a compact gun you’ll actually carry, not a bench-queen conversation piece.
Shove a mag of heavy subs in it, throw a can on the end, and you’ll immediately question why you wasted years shooting anything else. That first impact will make you grin like an idiot—and that’s the point.
WHAT IT DOES BEST
-
Subsonic devastation
-
Suppressed hunting
-
Real-world distances (not fantasy-forum ballistics)
-
Maximum energy from minimum barrel length
-
Making you sell other rifles you don’t need anymore
THE BOTTOM LINE
The Boombox is the most fun you can legally buy. It’s light, accurate, quiet, and hits way above its weight class. We built it for ourselves, you just get to buy one.
