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, 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: 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.

Battle Arms Authority Elite AR 15
My first AR 15 and it is really nice and top quality. I put Magpul MBUS sights on it and it is very accurate at 200 yd. and probably further but I did not shoot further than that only used it 2 hrs so far. The featureless grip is very nice, I thought before I saw it I may want to choose my own featureless grip but I like this one so much I will not change it. It came with a Battle Arms Muzzle Brake as was shown in the photo on the website. Barely any recoil. Top of the line, high quality, I am glad I spent more to get the Elite in featureless model. Magazine ejects in and out, no maglock.
