California compliance
- Status: Legal to own in California.
- Configuration: Featureless, built by WBT: Kydex grip wrap, flash hider removed and replaced with a thread protector (a muzzle brake is an optional upgrade). The magazine release works normally, so reloads are the same as anywhere else.
- Magazine: Standard detachable, 10-round.
- Your options: This is the one configuration that works for this rifle; it is not offered the other way. The pinned and welded muzzle extension that brings this rifle to California's minimum overall length is permanent, so the muzzle device cannot be changed.
