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.

About this rifle
The LWRC IC-A5 is an AR-15 platform rifle chambered in .223/5.56 with a 16.1" barrel and a 10-round capacity. WBT configures it for California at our Yuma, Arizona warehouse before it ships.
Manufacturer details
The IC-A5 is designed with a low profile 2 position adjustable gas block allowing the shooter to compensate for running a suppressor with a longer modular rail system. Its upper rail section on the IC-A5 is an aesthetically pleasing special cutback version which allows us to use the low profile gas block and at the same time keep the full 12 modular rails available on the sides and bottom of the hand guards. It is constructed using the highest quality materials, built on a patented self-regulating short-stroke gas piston system. They machined from materials that belong to the super alloy family of steel alloys most often used in aerospace. The gas-piston system can be accessed quickly by loosening two thumb screws. Its dual control fully ambidextrous lower receiver includes bolt catch and release, magazine release and fire control access from both sides of the IC-A5. This rifle features an NiCorr treated cold hammer forged spiral fluted barrel that is 20 percent lighter and increased surface area that reduces heat speeds up cooling. The Nickel-boron coated bolt carrier delivers unparalleled wear resistance, corrosion resistance and permanent lubricity. Included is a Skirmish back up iron sights, ambidextrous charging handle, adjustable compact stock, Magpul1 MOE+ Grip, and LWRCI High Efficiency 4-Prong Flash Hider.

A note on accuracy. We work hard to keep every listing correct, but specifications, images and compliance details come from many sources and can contain errors or change without notice. Images may show a configuration that is not California-legal. If a detail on this page matters to your decision, call us and we will confirm it against the actual firearm before you order. The compliance information here is general in nature and is not legal advice; California and local laws change, and the configuration described is confirmed at the time of sale.
