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.

I'd buy another one!
This is the sexiest, lightest, affordable, fun having rifle I own. My girlfriend wants to shoot it but my 70 yr old mother wanted to hold it first. Full disclosure I took apart the rifle and put it back together before my first shot. It's what I do, don't hate. I changed out the trigger to a hyperfire 24c with 2lb pull and heavy spring to slam that pin hard. They all like it hard. And I swapped out the muzzle brake to a surefire socom and attached the warden. Just for the Karen's ar the range. Optic I used is a Vortex 4-12 x 40. Just cause I like to see buttons on shirts from 100 yards. With a 45 degree red dot for those FAFO close encounters. Ok, enuff about that. Took her to the range with the skepticism some YouTube have revealed about malfunctions. Guess what. They were wrong. I started on gas setting 2 and she sent down range 120 rounds of some cheap range ammo. 100 rounds of PMC bronze. 20 rounds of PMC xTac Nato. No Malfunction! If you're looking to purchase you found the right place buy. The team at WBT was great to deal with. The kind of store you want around. So grab you card, don't tell your wife and ring it up. Pick up a couple of mags and ammo from them too. Lastly remember to alway follow all gun safety rules. Train with your weapons. Accidents don't happen negligence does.
