Showing off what in my honest opinion is the best AR-15 California compliant option. This set up allows it to truly be a fighting rifle, with all AR-15 features you want.
**UPDATE UPDATE** NOTE: I am not a lawyer, I am not giving you legal advice. If you need legal advice please speak to an attorney. With that said, Keep in mind that "fixed magazine" rifles are limited to 10 round magazines only. If you insert a magazine on a rifle that is, under law in a fixed magazine configuration, you will be in possession of an unregistered "assault weapon" please don't ne that guy. This is a "fixed magazine" setup and you must be careful. This is a setup if you want your rifle to look like a standard configuration ar15 in looks only. Eventhough you can legally own magazines with capacities greater then 10 rounds, do not put them in a "fixed magazine" rifle or a Registered "Bullet Button Assault Weapon"(BBRAW) here is the current "assault weapon" definition based on generic characteristics, (a)Notwithstanding Section 12276, “assault weapon” shall also mean any of the following: (1)A semiautomatic, centerfire rifle that has the capacity to accept a detachable magazine and any one of the following: (A)A pistol grip that protrudes conspicuously beneath the action of the weapon. (B)A thumbhole stock. (C)A folding or telescoping stock. (D)A grenade launcher or flare launcher. (E)A flash suppressor. (F)A forward pistol grip. (2)A semiautomatic, centerfire rifle that has a fixed magazine with the capacity to accept more than 10 rounds. (3)A semiautomatic, centerfire rifle that has an overall length of less than 30 inches.
@martinz1540 Don't confuse people. A 30 round body that meets California standards for a 10 round capacity is not the same as a 30 round magazine or 250 round drum lol. All that matter is capacity not body of said magazine/drum.
@martinz1540 I was just saying not to spread misinformation. If you have a "fixed magazine" rifle and have a magazine, even if it is permanently affixed with more than 10 rounds, under California law it is not a "fixed magazine" rifle. So again, to clear any confusion, even if you legally own magazines that hold 11-1,000,00 rounds (exaggerating a bit) you cannot legally use them in a "fixed magazine" setup as it would fall under the definition of "fixed magazine" You concede how your comment could cause some confusion, right?
@martinz1540 No they can't, again if you aren't sure on something please don't spread misinformation. Again, even if you legally acquired magazines holding 11 rounds plus, you cannot under any circumstances put them in a rifle that is "fixed magazine" only exceptions are, any rifle that does not meet the definition of an "assault weapon" or a pre-2001 RAW(Registered Assault Weapon) If you need a link to any laws, penal codes let me know. I would be more than happy to share them with you. Unless you want to be a felon don't put any mag holding 11-1,000,000 rounds in a rifle that is setup with "assault weapon" features.
@martinz1540 What you just said, I clearly explained in full detail in this video. Also, you are forgetting a crucial part of what makes a rifle "fixed magazine" A rifle can only be fixed magazine if the magazine that is affixed to said rifle holds only 10 or less rounds. If it holds more than 10, that means 11 rounds or more than it is no longer a "fixed magazine" rifle. If you think I am wrong on this, please seek legal counsel because again ignorance of a law is not an excuse.
@martinz1540 Arg... Sometimes I wonder if I am wasting my breath. This is my last attempt at keeping you out of trouble. You are dead wrong brother. I am not trying to or think that I am better than you but believe me, you are wrong. Hopefully this answered question will help put out by Firearms Policy Coalition, Q: What are the "features" that can make a firearm into an "assault weapon"? In addition to other categories of "assault weapons" (that we aren't going to talk about here), Cal. Penal Code § 30515(a) says that an "assault weapon" is: (1) A semiautomatic, centerfire rifle that does not have a fixed magazine but has any one of the following: (A) A pistol grip that protrudes conspicuously beneath the action of the weapon. (B) A thumbhole stock. (C) A folding or telescoping stock. (D) A grenade launcher or flare launcher. (E) A flash suppressor. (F) A forward pistol grip. (2) A semiautomatic, centerfire rifle that has a fixed magazine with the capacity to accept more than 10 rounds. (3) A semiautomatic, centerfire rifle that has an overall length of less than 30 inches. (4) A semiautomatic pistol that does not have a fixed magazine but has any one of the following: (A) A threaded barrel, capable of accepting a flash suppressor, forward handgrip, or silencer. (B) A second handgrip. (C) A shroud that is attached to, or partially or completely encircles, the barrel that allows the bearer to fire the weapon without burning the bearer’s hand, except a slide that encloses the barrel. (D) The capacity to accept a detachable magazine at some location outside of the pistol grip. (5) A semiautomatic pistol with a fixed magazine that has the capacity to accept more than 10 rounds. (6) A semiautomatic shotgun that has both of the following: (A) A folding or telescoping stock. (B) A pistol grip that protrudes conspicuously beneath the action of the weapon, thumbhole stock, or vertical handgrip. (7) A semiautomatic shotgun that has the ability to accept a detachable magazine. (8) Any shotgun with a revolving cylinder. And, for purposes of [Cal. Penal Code section 30515], " 'fixed magazine' means an ammunition feeding device contained in, or permanently attached to, a firearm in such a manner that the device cannot be removed without disassembly of the firearm action." Cal. Penal Code section 30515(b). If after reading this, go to calguns.net and look at the AW Flow Chart or start a thread and ask about using magazines holding more than 10 rounds in a fixed magazine configuration is legal if you legally acquired those magazines. I am only trying to help. Again you are wrong brother.
Gun community needs to get together and fight for California gun laws. Everyone should have the right to wield a full semi automatic ar 15 with no restrictions whatsoever
It's quite obvious The people of California Don't even fight for their on gun laws This type of BS is going to get somebody killed while they're trying to defend their home family etc. I live in a free state such as Ohio where my weapons function exactly how they were designed No restrictions No infringement on my rights
@@ohdeechris2355 no. If someone isn't fit to have firearms they aren't fit to be free. If they are fit to be free, they are fit to have their american rights.
Many people in this country trade freedom for safety, Benjamin Franklin once said: "Those who would give up Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety."
If I could go back in time and bring the founders to the present world I would do it,and I would replace these fascist modern politicians with the founders by any means necessary.
“I cannot drop this to save my life.” Therein lies the problem. I have high hopes for SCOTUS. Hopefully they will resolve this injustice in my lifetime.
Christian Martinez I really like the FAB Defense OMC Ultimags, a Mag|Coupler aka RJK Ventures LLC also makes a coupler that replaces the magazine floorplate on magpul 10 round pmags and works just as good. I like the OMC because it is weighted and 2 10 round mags plus OMC weigh within an ounce of most 30 round magazines. Both OMC and Mag|Coupler fit in standard rigs and mag pouches.
@@toamaiusdvignir9468 are those mags legal to run in a ca compliant rifle? Like say I want an identical rifle to yours how legal is that setup? Also how easy/fast is that push pin that breaks the action how easy is it to get a msg out turn it around and stick it back in close the gun and be ready to fire again?
people will die if something like this was attempted. unlike other places who dont follow our way of doing things, we have ABSOLUTE RIGHTS THAT CAN NEVER BE TAKEN AWAY. i'll go down fighting....but i wont be alone. this is america...where we have ABSOLUTE RIGHTS to keep and bear arms with NO INTERFERENCE
Featureless is better option, with a thordsen stock it changes hand position but its an easy train. Way faster than fixed mag, here you have to release the bolt, push the button to break action, press the button to drop the mag, close the action , finally recharge. Featureless: drop the mag, release the bolt. In high stress situation, muscle memory is faster with two steps instead of 5. Also you can have your grandfathered or freedom week standard capacity on featureless. So you have to reload more often with a fix mag option anyways. Featureless is the way to go imho
Your the best person that explained how this works, unlike other videos they just do it like the viewers already know what they talking about. Best info that you can also release the mag by the front bolt.
Jacob Holloway To be honest compared to other fixed magazine options that are now considered "assault weapons" this is much faster. Bullet button was a fixed magazine option which required use of a tool to drop the magazine and a bullet tip was considered a tool. This was in my opinion super slow and rifles like this were considered the norm. I wish I could have a rifle that was just like everyone else's in a free state. However, I live in California and rifles with features are considered "assault weapons" so by complying with the law, I can keep all my features and have the rifle look and function as close to normal and stay legal. Like I have said before, this is not slow at all. I go to Arizona a lot where they have no restrictions and I can freely remove mod which takes less than 1 minute(1 hex head screw). Now I find myself not taking the 1 minute to take off mod. Instead I train on this setup and just keep getting faster. I would say it is as fast as a standard ak. The only difference is having to send bolt home. Other than that, you just drop magazine and charge the weapon.
Toamaius D'Vignir I understand and agree, the only problem is knowing that it's faster obviously means next year they're going to ban this option as well. It seems they are trying to do everything except physically taking them.I too live in California and I am starting to explore my interest in guns and it's sad how limited my options are. I just bought an AR pistol upper and now I'm worried I won't even be able to complete my build. But I will add that I am excited that if I can complete it this does look like an exceptional option.
Jacob Holloway Yeah, if you are now getting into firearms, it will come as a shock to see how many restrictions we have on commonly used firearms. This option is very ban proof. In order for them to ban this set up they would need to do 2 things. 1, Somehow make the argument that a fixed magazine rifle is an "assault weapon" 2, Say that a single shot, bolt action action is an "assault weapon" this in my opinion would be impossible. Not only would they be coming after ar 15 or al weapons with a similar setup, but every hunting rifle in the state.. Fudds do not vote on black rifles. But talk about their wood guns and hunting rifles and they will come out of the wood work to stand and fight with us(at the polls) This is a great set up for ar pistols, however after Jun 30, 2018 all 80% lowers require registration and you must ask for a serial number and have a certified FFL put it on your 80% lower before you can finish it. I also believe you can no longer make a pistol out of such lower in California. There are tons of single shot exemption pistol lowers that are available for sale through private party which you can buy and use to complete your build using this setup, but instead of costing you market price they command a premium essentially it created a black market of sorts. Similar to buying any other off roster gun. This makes me sad, good luck.
Toamaius D'Vignir Military standard is to fire a shot, change the mag, and fire another shot within 1.5 seconds. Think about it. While a police officer can have his gun back up with 30 rounds against you, your taking around 4 seconds to have 10 rounds against him. Stand no chance.
Toamaius D'Vignir is it not possible for you to move from this shit hole state of yours ? Come to Tennessee we are still free Americans enjoying every possible gun right
There are options to the featureless grip. It's not that you cannot wrap your thumb around it, the web of your hand between thumb and trigger finger has to be higher than trigger as in a commonly stocked rifle, so one option is you can use a Juggernaught Tactical featureless grip. To me it's a much better option than disabling my magazine release to have to crack open the action.
I went with a almost identical system. I utilize the Hogue Freedom Fighter, except I don't use the Jugernout pin. I use the AR maglock Kingpin. If there's a double feed and the bolt Carrier group is stuck back in the buffer tube you can push the AR Maglock Kingpin and it will break open far enough to release the magazine catch button, even with the bolt carrier group stuck back in the buffer tube. You will be able to remove the magazine.
I'm 64. Been in CA most of my life. I don't expect to see the state loosened from the grip of the socialists during my lifetime. Am I pessimistic? Possibly. I think that's more of a realistic viewpoint.
I know youre joking but lets say i want my ar15 to be plain jane style with none of this california compliant crap then all of sudden im a felon. So even though im an excelent example of a role model citizen their stupid laws make me a felon. Doesnt make sense at all.
You know what the saddest part of all this is? The resignation in the guys voice, as if this is just another day at the office. Imagine getting in a real gunfight with that thing. No thanks. They shit all over the K.I.S.S. principle in California. My M4 is pristine, unaffected by BS politics, and never will be.
Never say never. There’s a country wide agenda going and guess what.. it’s to take away guns. The more they do that the more we get closer to becoming like China. Less people to fight back, call it a conspiracy but your grandkids kids will most likely see it full action.
I own a Socom 16 and love it, but I'm a n00b to the AR platform I came across your vid and its a great start for research material I to also live behind enemy lines in Cali, thanks for the vid!
Only if it looks like a "military weapon". Semi automatic rifles are okay, just not features and accessories if your rifle is black. They only ban features, and restrict magazine capacity, it has nothing to do with how weapon operates or caliber.
6:00 In my setup with the Juggernaut rear pin, with the bolt locked back, I'm still able to pop the rear pin to the point of releasing the Freedom Fighter mag release pin to remove the magazine. I think manipulating the front pivot point in the event of a jam is not needed then.
I feel for you in California. Looks like such a pain. I don’t know how you can remember to do all that in a fight. Hope you never find yourself in that situation 🙏🏻.
Well, when all things are equal and capacity was the same regardless, then this was my choice. Of course freedom week changed everything. Legally I can't use any magazine bigger than 10 rounds on a "fixed magazine" rifle as it makes that an assault weapon as by definition they are only considered fixed magazine if it's limited to 10 rounds. Right now my main setup is not bad at all. featureless and ambi-safety a long with a Resurgence Arms featureless grip. I can legally used my mags on this one. and besides not having a flash hider, pistol grip or and adjustable stock its the same. I travel to AZ frequently and when I take my rifle a long for the trip I don't bother changing it back to a standard configuration, train the same way I would have to use it in CA.
I watched this vid about 2 years ago and had it installed on my AR. Hands down best way to go. Went to visit my brother in Nevada and went to the range with him and him and his friends. His friends were informing me that Cali gun laws suck, I said yes they do and most of the people do also. I informed them my AR is asshole compliant. They never picked up on the button you hit while changing mags. Way better than a feature less Bud Light AR.
I travel outside of California and rarely relive the mod because I am so use to it. In free state without fixed magazine laws you can add any magazine regardless of capacity. However if you wanted a taste of freedom removing the Hogue Freedom Fighter is only an Allen key away takes 30 seconds. Putting it back on will take about 10 minutes including adjusting to ensure magazine won’t drop without action being opened. Anywho glad you like the setup still best option if you like features. I like capacity myself now and went featureless so I can use my freedom week mags. I may do a quick video on it.
I really enjoy your AR! I'm in the market for my first AR and am trying to pick between a Daniel Defense or an LWRCI. I unfortunately moved back to the Bay Area here in California from Florida and feel like I got slapped in the face in regards to all the crazy laws here. In your opinion, what company do you recommend? I have a budget of about $2500 but would also like to use some of the towards upgrades if possible.
Also with the Hogue Freedom fighter combined with the AR Maglock King Pin it is even faster to change your mag than it used to be with a bullet button.
The latest mass-killing shooting was done with a Glock - doesn't that pretty much shoot down (pardon the pun) the argument that only and AR does the worst killing(s)?
Virginia Tech had over x2 the body count as Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida. Weapons used were both handguns, one was .22 and the other was a 9mm gun control isn't about ar 15, they want all semi-automatic period. Also, let's not forget those killed without the use of firearms in France, a truck can do so much more in less time. Not to mention car bombs or other means a crazy person intent on committing mass murder might use.. Guns aren't the issue.
@@toamaiusdvignir9468 Thank you Patriot! Once they get our semi's, they'll just ban all guns and confiscate- except for the Gestapo police who they want to control the FEMA camps. The NWO is lurking in our own gov't. Give up nothing! Take care, and keep up the good fight!
Palmetto State Armory is got some killer deals going on. One example is a similar set up upper. I paid 369.99 for mine, plus shipping and it is a 5.56 barrel. They have a .223 Wylde 18" with 15.5 inch MOE Handguard, comes with MBUS sights and Bolt Carrier and Charging handle, I saw it for 299.99 with free shipping. That upper is better than mine. If you aren't savvy on .223 Wylde, it is pretty much a match grade .223 chamber that can handle 5.56 pressures. Shoots both, but when you shoot .223 it will be a tax driver. PSA takes a long time to fulfill orders, but the value and product cannot be denied.
The Palmetto State Armory sale is only good through today for Labor Day. Hope you get this message before it ends and that you are financially ready to buy. Trust me when I say you will not get a better complete upper with true military grade spec parts and materials for the money uptown 1000.00 for only 300 bucks shipped. Good luck. Also, they have a Sig Sauer Rome5 red dot for 120.00 shipped which is a killer optic with an over 100.00 savings since they are shipping it free as well. Good luck.
@@mau5islife Yeah killer deals, like I said, if your build is standard 5.56/.223 That .223 Wylde complete upper for 299.99 shipped just cannot be beat. Probably a sub 1" upper. That Sig Sauer Romeo5 for 119.99 shipped also is just too good to pass on lol.
I agree: The Hogue Freedom Fighter combined with the Juggernaut Tactical Rear Takedown pin/release is the best combination to keep your AR compliant with the tyrannical Commieforniastan.
ask Matt Lol, yep. This should be good even when they redefine "assault weapon" I hear this year they are going to include any semi-automatic center fired rifle that accepts a detachable magazine. So featureless ar and all hunting rifles.
this is the combo i need to put on my Anderson Am15 cause man its a pain in the ass to drop the whole front to just change mags. glad Toamaius D'Vignir spoke bout these things!!
tuna0n3 Yep, this is truly the best combo. I travel to free states a lot and sometimes when I am feeling lazy, I find myself not taking the 1 to 2 minutes it takes to convert this to a standard ar15. Only thing I do different is use standard capacity magazines vs reduced capacity magazines. Even my Arizona friends who have no idea what compliance rifles are find this setup easy to train on. I also take every shooting opportunity to train on this. Bolt release, push to crack action open, release magazine, insert magazine, close action, charge weapon.(keep in mind this is a reload from bolt lock) Tactical reloads are, Crack action open, release magazine, reload fresh magazine, close action.... If you are okay with magazine modifications or buying special mags(make sure you verify 100% function and reliability). I highly recommend using complete Juggernaut Tactical Hell Fighter Kit. Will turn your operation of arms to that of an ak pattern rifle, you will lose your bolt catch. From empty, bolt will automatically slam forward, crack action open, release magazine, reload fresh magazine, close action and charge weapon. Double feeds can be cleared as well, it just takes a little more time than Hogue Freedom Fighter Kit combo with JT Hellfighter Kit.
i saw a few videos about a tether that seemed to do the job then came across your video and man did it change my mind! i have both styles of CA complaint AR's but this seriously made a whole difference to this style. im so glad to have came across this video. thank you again man! really much appreciated!
Well, that's very nice, but the AR Maglok with Kingpin does the same thing. The problem is that the first products were engineered a lot better than the ones you get nowadays. Now the button extension often doesn't fit through the small crack and the extended release button can't open the mag release. I'm to the point where I'm just going to disobey the law and put normal factory releases in all my rifles. The chances are I won't get caught because most cops don't understand the administrative regs about separating the upper and lower to drop the mag, and, to their credit, many don't care.
NOTE: I am not a lawyer, I am not giving you legal advice. If you need legal advice please speak to an attorney. With that said, Keep in mind that "fixed magazine" rifles are limited to 10 round magazines only. If you insert a magazine on a rifle that is, under law in a fixed magazine configuration, you will be in possession of an unregistered "assault weapon" please don't ne that guy. This is a "fixed magazine" setup and you must be careful. This is a setup if you want your rifle to look like a standard configuration ar15 in looks only. Eventhough you can legally own magazines with capacities greater then 10 rounds, do not put them in a "fixed magazine" rifle or a Registered "Bullet Button Assault Weapon"(BBRAW)
Glad you found it useful. I am going to be doing an update video. Added a Magpul B.A.D Lever to help make sending bolt home 2nd nature. I also replaced the red dot for a Holosun HS515GM and added an Inforce WML-X. Hope to have video up soon.
Have a similar setup to yours. Hellfighter rear takedown pin from juggernaut, and the fab defense gl stock with ultimags and couplers. A good setup. I’m using the “calcatch” shim that inserts in between the bolt catch from 33.3 Tactical. Nice video and good taste my friend. I run the same setup on all my ar rigs.
My personal opinion is. The only crappy part of featureless is the flash hider,other than that I don't see any issue with featureless, featureless rife you can straight click on the mag release pop in your mag and your good to go.
I see where you are coming from, however with that said, there are better featureless options that are more ergonomic than an featureless ar 15. I don't see a point of a featureless ar, unless it is a SCR or SU-16, those 2 rifles are naturally featureless, the SCR will take any standard ar upper assembly. These rifles do not have to be modified to be featureless and shoot just like any standard hunting rifle or shotgun. I won't even mention a mini 14. We like the ar, because it is a full featured modern sporting rifle, when you convert setup your rifle into a featureless configuration, you give up everything that makes it an ar 15.
@That grey area Hmmm.... How is defiance by legal compliance make anyone a cuck? The state wanted us to register our modern semi-automatic sporting rifles as "assault weapons" based on features only. Doing this allows me to defy registration and keep all the "evil feature" they were looking to ban. With that said, you sir are an idiot.
I don't understand why i can't have a pidtol grip muzzle brake and adjustable stock on a center fire rifle, but can on a rim fire. So if i did a .22 block conversion in my AR, and kept all the features, is it now ok or is it still an assult weapon?
@@jross13450 .22 not considered assault weapon lol i have all my features on my .22 AR and they even sell them with pistol grips, detachable mag and vertical grip.
That is crazy,I have an AR with twin 40 rd p-mags with the Taylor Freelance extenders on each mag & TF bolt that holds the mags together,86 rounds onboard.
In California fixed magazines are limited to 10 rounds. #freedomweek changed everything. Fixed magazine is no longer the best option. Featureless is the way to go. 30, 40, 60, 100, 200, 250 round options and a standard magazine catch/release is > forward pistol grip, flash hider, pistol grip and adjustable/collapsible stock.
Yea, NO. I mean, i guess wutever you gotta do to be compliant but... I jus can't imagine having to to all that. I don't even like driving thru California for that reason lol! Good job tho bro on your build. You did an awesome job installing the kit. Seemed to work flawlessly. It IS the best version of the choices you're allotted, i will say that. Atleast you can remove the clip and collapse your stock!
I watched two other cal complaint videos on this and you explained it better than they did. Totally subscribing!👍👍👍 Thanks for the info, I’m currently trapped behind the blue curtain of commiepornia and we’re still trying to fight this political corruption that has overwhelmed my once great state. What most Americans don’t understand is that where this state goes the rest will likely follow so we have to stop the spread of this mental disease here. It’s starting in Virginia...
I missed this message, but thanks for your comment and apologies the crudeness. I just wanted to get to info out and wanted to help out as many people as I could.
Actually, when no mag inserted, it is *still an assault weapon* by California standards. The actual definition includes, *the ability to accept* greater than 10 round capacity magazines. Which, at the time a magazine is not inserted, that rifle is capable of. Sorry to burst your bubble.
Yeah wouldn't be that bad for that application, if you are looking for a good hunting round I recommend .300 HAM'R, you lose 1 round of capacity, but hits harder than an AK, very similar to a 30-30
After a long tussle between deciding on which rifle to get i bought a barret rec7, some mags, nice 4x glass, grip,... then i found out my jobs taking me to northern california where my hobby is limited to this bullshit i’m watching rn. Spent well over 4k on everything just to say goodbye to it all.. ....just great...
It is only illegal if you can remove the magazine without first disassembling the firearms action. Ask yourself this, can you remove the magazine without opening the receivers? Can you remove it with the use of a tool(not disassembly)?
I was going to get the hellfighter kit but, opted for the 33.3 Calcatch kit. Fast to reload and also to fully take down your AR without disassembling the kit.
Sergio Moreno Okay, I checked out the 33.3 Tactical Gen 3.3 CalCatch and honestly it is slower than the Juggernaut Tactical Hellfighter Mod Kit Rear Takedown Pin. JTactical pin is push actuated and resets auto. Just push to open and close no need to touch pin after you close receivers. Also, to separate the receivers, just unscrew pin cap and push pin out like normal. You only need to twist pin to open position, kinda like CalCatch, but easier. Also, left hand friendly as you can push with right or left hand thumb.
Nice rifle. It sure stinks that we have to deal with this stuff in California, but I'm glad there are options. At 1:08 you mention that "if you can wrap your thumb around it, it is considered a pistol grip", I just wanted to clarify that there is more to the definition than simply wrapping your thumb around. I only say this because we make a grip that you CAN wrap your thumb around, but it is NOT considered a pistol grip according to the DOJ definition. The codes and laws are confusing and have changed so much, so I included the latest definition here... California Code of Regulations, Title 11, Division 5, Chapter 39, Article 2, § 5470, z) “Pistol grip that protrudes conspicuously beneath the action of the weapon” means a grip that allows for a pistol style grasp in which the web of the trigger hand (between the thumb and index finger) can be placed beneath or below the top of the exposed portion of the trigger while firing. This definition includes pistol grips on bullpup firearm designs. Keep supporting pro-2A groups and please vote!
Sparrow Dynamics Appreciate the clarification. I was generalizing, the term "pistol grip". I have seen similar wraps and finned pistol grips. Yours is the only other stock/grip I have seen that allows a traditional hunting rifle type grip such as Thorsden FRS-15 Gen III I took a look at your grip, and I got to admit it is quite ingenious. I saw it in combination with your safety levers. I have another lower receiver to build and seriously considering going the featureless route, definitely would consider trying Sparrow Dynamics Compliant Grip and AMBI Safety Selector. I appreciate companies that make products with us stuck behind enemy lines in mind. Thank you.
Okay... It is only seconds slower then a standard double feed malfunction. If 2 seconds or less is life or death you would be dead anyway. I rather not have to do it, but it is law and unfortunately I am a law abiding citizen. If I were only a criminal or government official, then I wouldn't have to abide by laws as they wouldn't apply to me.
@@toamaiusdvignir9468 not like its a stab at you but CA is dumb. I have a shotgun that can hold 14 shells + 2, 1 pump is 2 trigger pulls, But an AR has to be limited every 6 months. But sorry in a possible scenerio were your life is at risk even one second counts my friend.
@@michael3424 Not to the point you are talking about. Having a type 3 malfunction with a standard rifle sucks, at that point seconds don't really matter. As far as you can pull the front pin and drop.the mag is the only difference. What I am getting at is, if having to do the extra step makes that big a a difference it would matter if it was a standard rifle or not. You are dead either way. By the way, I hope that everyone has a pistol with them as well. Transition is always faster then reloading.
Plenty of money for a very nice rifle with fancy accessories, optics and the special compliant parts, but when it comes to spending two bucks on a new battery for the old smoke detector...well, you've got to cut costs somewhere!
Yeah, an option but not necessary, also over time the plunger will wear. If you ever get bound up and they hit that button and magazine drops, you are instantly a felon and probably losing your rights and going to prison... Not sure it's worth it.
I am a young shooter (not yet legally allowed to own a gun) and I love the sport and hobby. I planned on doing three gunning since I was really little but now I can no longer effectively do the sport because of these ludicrous laws :(
@@toamaiusdvignir9468 I’m not yet 18, I have to have my dad purchase a gun when I have the money. But in California these restrictions hinder the shooter ability to speed through courses that you find in three gun ranges. Such as the lack of pistol grip on a featureless and the fixed mag on a featured.
idk i think that the fixed mag option is just still way too slow compared to featureless option. It isn't slow by any means, just the standard featureless AR just blows it out of the water. It's great that you can clear a double feed with this system but again too slow imo for any defensive situation.
T0xicN0va Hmm... No, not at all. I go to Arizona a lot and stopped taking the 1 minute or less it takes to remove the magazine lock portion of this set up. I am not going to argue being able to drop magazine on a last bolt hold open situation isn't faster, it is. Before I can drop the magazine in a last round bolt hold open situation, I must first send my bolt home, then open receiver, drop magazine,.and charge weapon. The only thing this set up does vs a standard magazine release is having to charge weapon. Opening receivers by pushing a button is a non issue. So in Arizona, I have done reload tests vs this fixed magazine setup and a standard magazine release and time isn't that much. When I go against someone who is versed in guns as I am, reload is about 1 to 2 seconds faster. While their times stay the same or improve marginally, my time keeps getting significantly faster. I have about 500 rounds through this set up, and again I am no longer taking the time to remove lock and it takes less than 1 minute(a simple hex screw and remove magazine release button plunger) I disagree about times being so different that this rifle can't be used in a defensive situation. I find the battery of arms as fast as a standard AK, and would you argue they can't be used in a defensive situation?
Featureless is the way to go... It might be nice to have a pistol grip and a flash suppressor, but once you get a malfunction or actually need to depend on your rifle working flawlessly, you will understand why.
I always carry a handgun on me so, I am reaching for that instead of clearing the malfunction. With that said, you can clear the malfunction with minimal effort vs a standard configuration ar15. I say, if clearing a malfunction on this setup is going to get you killed, same is true of a standard ar15. As far as featureless being better, why even bother with a featureless ar15? There are way better, more ergonomic choices that don't have to be modified to be featureless. Here are a few that come to mind, Ruger Mini-14,Kel-Tec RDB-C, Kel-Tec SU-16, Fightlite SCR if you want the feel of an ar15 and takes a standard upper.
Hi there. This is a custom build. Lower is an Anderson Manufacturing Ghost Stripped Lower(means it only has model and serial number, no logo or graphics) In the lower is a Palmetto State Armory Lower Parts Kit(less the fire control group) Trigger is a ALG Defense ACT Trigger. Buffer Tube Extension Assembly is a carbine length Palmetto State Armory Mil-Spec. Grip and trigger guard are Magpul MOE. The stock is a FAB Defense GL-Mag with a 10 round FAB Defense Ultimag. Upper is a 16" mid-length Palmetto State Armory 7-1 twist Nitride with 13.5 inch Magpul M-LOK Handguard. Sights are Magpul MBUS Gen 2. Then what makes it compliant are Juggernaut Tactical Hellfighter Mod Kit Takedown Pin and Hogue Freedom Fighter. Should cost about 900.00 to build this yourself, plus or minus 100.00 Hope this helped, thanks for watching.
A double feed will result in the inability to remove the magazine without further disassembly of the weapon and/or magazine. While that may be ok on the flat range, for a defensive or competition carbine it's a non-starter IMO.
No type of ar pattern malfunctions can stop this setup. Double feed is taken care of by removing the front pin, lifting up slightly, then simply dropping magazine, pushing back front pin and racking the charging handle. Insert new magazine and you are back in the fight.
@@toamaiusdvignir9468 If you're in a fight by the time you do all that you're dead. But thank you for making something usable for a lot of applications in California. IMO life or death fights isn't one of them.
@@rickbrown9523 How long does it take to clear a double feed on a standard configuration rifle? Drop mag, rack, rack charging handle and insert fresh magazine and charge the gun and fire. To do this with this fixed magazine rifle only adds the step of pushing out the front pin lifting up slightly, push pin back and it is the same process. Again, not slow and maybe only seconds slower than a standard configuration rifle. Just being familiar with the and training. Let's face facts here, if you have a malfunction with a regular rifle you could die as well and the seconds it takes to push out a pin won't matter. I am not saying this is better than a standard rifle, not saying it is as good either. What I am saying, if you practice with, things become second nature and you absolutely can defend you and yours wirh it.
The only extra you have is a adjustable stock and a pistol grip. Wouldn't it have been better to just go featureless with a Resurgent Arms Featureless Grip and a stock lock? At least then you would have a normal mag release and regular take downs. Just trying to figure out why you chose the route you did. Not dogging it by any means. Nice video.
Only issue with these kits are you have to modify the lower receiver permanently. You can just run a compmag, transport your rifle with the BCG taken out, and it's fully legal.
There are tons of options that do not require any modifications and can be undone fast in an emergency or if you find yourself in a free state for a competition or just some free state plinking. You mentioned CompMag, that is a decent option for a no frills plinking ar and allows you to travel no problem. I own a CompMag, only thing I don't like about it is, it is a single stack only magazine. I am going to be doing video on other options and give my opinion. Have you heard of the FC Hook? This is a ingenious device made by Torque Precision that allows you to make any rifle compliant by just swapping out your magazine catch. It makes the rifle fixed magazine and allows you to use any double stack magazine and cannot be removed while receivers are closed and pins are pushed closed. What I like over the CompMag is, since it uses the magazine of your choice, you can use magazine port loaders like those made by MEAN ARMS or Bear Flag Defese the later being my favorite. Video to come soon. I just have to find time.
Toamaius D'Vignir Id personally not want to scratch up my cerakote rifle, but IMO that is a better option. My rifle can’t even accept a freedom fighter because it has an ambi bolt release which already has a passage in the way. I don’t have a problem with the single stack. They feed well, just the bolt catch chewed up the mag and doesn’t work unless I get a new one. I can live with it though.
@@DaveDuzzit Does your rifle use a standard magazine catch? If so, you might be a better candidate for an FC Hook. No modification and you can choose what magazine you want to use with it. I believe some mags require slight modifications (Magpul PMAG and FAB Defense Ultimags)
They do, but ask user of the AR Maglock and you will hear about marring on the side of the receiver. Hogue is iron clad, reversible and not an eye sore...
Assembly Bill 879, sponsored by Assembly Member Mike Gipson (D-64), would require precursor firearms parts to be sold/transferred through a licensed precursor parts dealer in a similar process to the new laws regarding ammunition purchases.
No doubt, an ar15 like this is for those who want to be defiant by staying within the letter of the law. This setup allows you to have a rifle which when fired is essentially the same as what they consider an "assault weapon" has all the evil features. So they lose. In my opinion if you chose to convert an ar15 to a featureless model, then they win. Like you said there are better options that aren't an ar15 that are naturally featureless. That new Kel-Tec rifle looks pretty cool. I don't like the MSRP tho. I feel like companies who make products for California want to make more money for their products than they can justify in free states.
Yeah who needs military pistol grips they add like +20 damage points with that you can deplete an npcs health points in like 3 shots not to mention +10dp for the rapid fire adjustabump stock and the another +30dp for the bird cage of death, its basically an instakill gun and once you land 100 nut shots you unlock chainsaw attachment.
The weapon would still able to fire a round (inside the chamber) even with the upper receiver cracked open, which creates a major hazard because the bolt carrier would not able to push back into the buffer tube... So beware if you are taking this setup to the range...
I don't understand your argument, ""The weapon would still be able to fire a round (inside the chamber) even with the upper receiver cracked open, which creates a major hazard because the bolt carrier would not be a legitimate to push back into the buffer tube... So beware if you are taking this setup to the range..." If you concern is the weapon firing and bolt carrier not being able to go inside buffer tube, that is a non issue. It's pretty much a single shot at that point. Nothing happens if the action doesn't cycle. No danger whatsoever. If your concern is legality, also a non issue. Only semi-automatic rifles are considered "assault weapons", when you press the rear takedown pin button it stops the semi-automatic action as it no longer is capable of firing in semi-automatic. I hope I cleared up any concerns.
I’m not concern about the legality of it, I’m just saying it could be a hazard because you can potentially fire the weapon without the upper receiver completely close.
@@gearykanel3697 Okay, so what is the problem with that? I mean, you would only fire the weapon if you pull the trigger. That is like saying handguns or rifles that can fire with out the magazine being inserted is a hazard... If you pull the trigger no damage will come to the rifle. So the only issue is an ND, but an ND is and always will be an ND. No such thing as an AD...
Thanks, I still think this is the best fixed magazine setup. I currently have a featureless setup chambered in .300 HAM'r as my preferred setup as even if you legally acquired standard capacity magazines you can't use them in a fixed magazine rifle. Featureless is the way to go in my opinion.
Thanks, I apologize for how the crudeness, I just wanted to get some info out. I been thinking about giving making videos another shot. Maybe if I hit the dreaded 1K subs lol.
If you want a real "fighting rifle", go FEATURELESS in California. Fuck dealing with double feed jams etc. I went featureless a d locked my stock where I want. I use a mega finshark that has a thumb rest.
When your done firing you open your action to drop the mag. You go to close it. Now its consider as an assault weapon. You have to load it then you close the action.
Hugo Vega Nope, no you don't. When receivers are closed together, it is a fixed magazine rifle. The laws language is only talking about removing the magazine when rifle is assembled. By being fixed magazine, it is and cannot be an "assault weapon"
fixed magazine rifles you can’t have a magazine capacity of over 10 rounds. being we had freedom week here in cali we are able to have standard capacity magazines in our featureless rifles. i prefer having a 30 rounder and the ability to drop the mag with the press on one button.
You said what I said during freedom week... This build only applies if all things are equal, all changed post freedom week. I will make another video update on what my setup looks like now. *spoiler* it is a fixed magazine variant.
Yes, it's legal. The pin doesn't make it compliant without using their "bolt catch lock" or other options like AR MagLock or Hogue Freedom Fighter. This rifle is legal as it was shown in the video.
Lions Pride No, if the rifle does fire, it will do so in a single shot operation which does not meet the definition of an assault rifle(assembled, semi automatic) Also, the back of the lower receivers buffed tube extension will stop bcg from flying out. I wouldn't recommend firing it as a single shot, but will not stop the rifle I'd you accidentally did.
I was born in California and now I live in Texas. I know that the laws in California don't affect me, but it does, it offends me that fellow gun owners in California can't enjoy the same rights I have in Texas. One of these days, I'm going to build a California compliant featureless AR in solidarity with my fellow Californians.
I hear you man very few states are still truly lost many states. Some of the most pro-gun ones too. Arizona is currently gun friendly, but there is a fight brewing. Now a blue state... Florida just had tons of gun control (under Republican watch too) Colorado, Nevada Gun control is coming and it does not discriminate...
@@toamaiusdvignir9468 If you're a Republican, they let you restrict 2A rights with no hitch. Reagan did it when he was governor and President and Bush senior did as well. And those 2 fall on the same pedestal as Obama and Pelosi. 2A rights are a political 3 point shot for both blue and red politicians. And I know Texas won't fall for it, guns are the literal culture of the state.
in Cali: What do you do at the practice range? Most every range I've used in California, during cease fire you need to drop the mag and have your weapon showing the chamber is empty. On an Umodified, or Bullet Button setup, the ejection port is open and the RSO can inspect the chamber, or you have a chamber flag in. If when the mag is out, and the charger is not locked back, the ejection port is closed, correct? do you have to pull back the changer, put in a chamber flag, and then let the charger return forward against the chamber flag? I know the RSOs were dreading this law because it adds more risk at the range during malfunctions. I think we all were taught besides maintaining muzzle in a safe direction, dropping the mag was one of the first things you do.
Not sure I followed what you were trying to get at? This rifle does have last round hold open and magazine can be removed, however since this is a fixed magazine rifle (kinda like a M1Garand or SKS) they don't expect you to remove the magazine. You can lock the bolt back to show clear. If you absolutely wanted when a ceasefire is called, you could fire last round, send bolt home after last round hold open, drop magazine pull charging handle back and have the bolt back and locked and no magazine in the gun. Laws only consider a gun an "assault weapon" if you can remove the magazine before first opening the action. Says nothing about assembly of a fixed magazine rifle before you can insert the magazine. This setup wouldn't fall under an "assault weapon" because even if you could insert the magazine, you couldn't remove it before first opening up the action. I hope this makes sense lol. If it sounds ridiculous it is, and so are the laws.
How is that ca compliant? You still have a pistol grip and adjustable butt stock right? I was under the impression that the grip needed to be modified so your thumb can’t be wrapped around and their are companies that sell good compliant grips. I was told also that if you change the grip to that funky new “compliant” one you can then “fix” the adjustable butt stock you have and that would make it compliant. Other choice would be to make it into a bolt action and keep the features 🤷🏻♂️ ????
Uncer California laws, your weapon is an "assault weapon" if your rifle is semiautomatic and has detachable magazine and any 1 offending feature. This a fixed magazine rifle. The magazine cannot be removed when in semiautomatic configuration To remove the magazine lower and upper must be separated (disassembled) before you can prove the magazine. Fixed magazine rifle are in compliance with state laws. Only way to make a fixed magazine rifle into an "assault weapon" is to put a magazine which hold more than 10 rounds. Another way to have a legal semiautomatic rifle that has a detachable magazine is a featureless rifle. This means no flash hider, no forward pistol grip(2nd pistol grip forward of the receiver), no pistol grip, no adjustable/folding or collapsible sticks. Think of a Ruger Mini 14 with a standard sporting stock. Just make sure I'd you have a muzzle device of any kind it is not sold/advertised by its manufacturer as "flash hiding" same applies to ar/ak pattern rifles.
Johnny, you can, that was the whole point of this video. As I said in one of my pinned comments Feedom Week changed everything. If you legally own standard capacity mags you would be a fool not to have featureless as your main setup.
This is what I'm looking for. I'm not interested in having an AR as a home defense weapon. I want to practice marksmanship. Going featureless is not an option
Yeah, definitely makes a sweet setup. I still stand by what I said about this rifle. Not slow, you can clear malfunctions quick magazine roads. Even if you decide only to use it as a range toy, still worth it.
I said fuck it and got the fin grip and muzzle break on mine since I can't fathom having to go through extra steps just to release a mag and put new one in if needed in the heat if the moment.
Just for looks honestly, besides the reload it feels like a regular ar. However like I said in previous comments, fixed mag is limited to 10 round magazines only. Even if you legally own standard capacity or 11+ magazines from before assault weapons ban or acquired thrm during freedom week, fixed magazine is limited. Look at my calguns post so you can see my featureless setup. Very sweet and can legally use magazines you acquired legally. Fin grips are no bueno.
@@toamaiusdvignir9468 Calguns post? Where do I find this?. And I can understand everyone's hate at the fin grip, served 2 tours OEF and OIF and then got out , moved to Cali from NC and was like ... wtf is this shit. But I can deal with the fin , I can't have a locked mag . Reloading in the heat of the moment is so important that 1 second difference can be life or death. But ima be moving back to NC so none of these Cali rules will matter to me. Then I can get the M45A1 ..

Cowardly is staying in that shithole cowering to your government overlords and thanking them for the scraps that resemble freedom they throw your way. Coming up with excuses as to why it’s “the better option” to comply. Ya real brave of you 😂🤣😂
**UPDATE UPDATE**
NOTE: I am not a lawyer, I am not giving you legal advice. If you need legal advice please speak to an attorney. With that said,
Keep in mind that "fixed magazine" rifles are limited to 10 round magazines only. If you insert a magazine on a rifle that is, under law in a fixed magazine configuration, you will be in possession of an unregistered "assault weapon" please don't ne that guy.
This is a "fixed magazine" setup and you must be careful. This is a setup if you want your rifle to look like a standard configuration ar15 in looks only. Eventhough you can legally own magazines with capacities greater then 10 rounds, do not put them in a "fixed magazine" rifle or a Registered "Bullet Button Assault Weapon"(BBRAW) here is the current "assault weapon" definition based on generic characteristics,
(a)Notwithstanding Section 12276, “assault weapon” shall also mean any of the following:
(1)A semiautomatic, centerfire rifle that has the capacity to accept a detachable magazine and any one of the following:
(A)A pistol grip that protrudes conspicuously beneath the action of the weapon.
(B)A thumbhole stock.
(C)A folding or telescoping stock.
(D)A grenade launcher or flare launcher.
(E)A flash suppressor.
(F)A forward pistol grip.
(2)A semiautomatic, centerfire rifle that has a fixed magazine with the capacity to accept more than 10 rounds.
(3)A semiautomatic, centerfire rifle that has an overall length of less than 30 inches.
@martinz1540 Don't confuse people. A 30 round body that meets California standards for a 10 round capacity is not the same as a 30 round magazine or 250 round drum lol. All that matter is capacity not body of said magazine/drum.
@martinz1540 I was just saying not to spread misinformation. If you have a "fixed magazine" rifle and have a magazine, even if it is permanently affixed with more than 10 rounds, under California law it is not a "fixed magazine" rifle.
So again, to clear any confusion, even if you legally own magazines that hold 11-1,000,00 rounds (exaggerating a bit) you cannot legally use them in a "fixed magazine" setup as it would fall under the definition of "fixed magazine"
You concede how your comment could cause some confusion, right?
@martinz1540 No they can't, again if you aren't sure on something please don't spread misinformation. Again, even if you legally acquired magazines holding 11 rounds plus, you cannot under any circumstances put them in a rifle that is "fixed magazine" only exceptions are, any rifle that does not meet the definition of an "assault weapon" or a pre-2001 RAW(Registered Assault Weapon)
If you need a link to any laws, penal codes let me know. I would be more than happy to share them with you.
Unless you want to be a felon don't put any mag holding 11-1,000,000 rounds in a rifle that is setup with "assault weapon" features.
@martinz1540 What you just said, I clearly explained in full detail in this video. Also, you are forgetting a crucial part of what makes a rifle "fixed magazine"
A rifle can only be fixed magazine if the magazine that is affixed to said rifle holds only 10 or less rounds. If it holds more than 10, that means 11 rounds or more than it is no longer a "fixed magazine" rifle.
If you think I am wrong on this, please seek legal counsel because again ignorance of a law is not an excuse.
@martinz1540 Arg... Sometimes I wonder if I am wasting my breath. This is my last attempt at keeping you out of trouble. You are dead wrong brother. I am not trying to or think that I am better than you but believe me, you are wrong. Hopefully this answered question will help put out by Firearms Policy Coalition,
Q: What are the "features" that can make a firearm into an "assault weapon"?
In addition to other categories of "assault weapons" (that we aren't going to talk about here), Cal. Penal Code § 30515(a) says that an "assault weapon" is:
(1) A semiautomatic, centerfire rifle that does not have a fixed magazine but has any one of the following:
(A) A pistol grip that protrudes conspicuously beneath the action of the weapon.
(B) A thumbhole stock.
(C) A folding or telescoping stock.
(D) A grenade launcher or flare launcher.
(E) A flash suppressor.
(F) A forward pistol grip.
(2) A semiautomatic, centerfire rifle that has a fixed magazine with the capacity to accept more than 10 rounds.
(3) A semiautomatic, centerfire rifle that has an overall length of less than 30 inches.
(4) A semiautomatic pistol that does not have a fixed magazine but has any one of the following:
(A) A threaded barrel, capable of accepting a flash suppressor, forward handgrip, or silencer.
(B) A second handgrip.
(C) A shroud that is attached to, or partially or completely encircles, the barrel that allows the bearer to fire the weapon without burning the bearer’s hand, except a slide that encloses the barrel.
(D) The capacity to accept a detachable magazine at some location outside of the pistol grip.
(5) A semiautomatic pistol with a fixed magazine that has the capacity to accept more than 10 rounds.
(6) A semiautomatic shotgun that has both of the following:
(A) A folding or telescoping stock.
(B) A pistol grip that protrudes conspicuously beneath the action of the weapon, thumbhole stock, or vertical handgrip.
(7) A semiautomatic shotgun that has the ability to accept a detachable magazine.
(8) Any shotgun with a revolving cylinder.
And, for purposes of [Cal. Penal Code section 30515], " 'fixed magazine' means an ammunition feeding device contained in, or permanently attached to, a firearm in such a manner that the device cannot be removed without disassembly of the firearm action." Cal. Penal Code section 30515(b).
If after reading this, go to calguns.net and look at the AW Flow Chart or start a thread and ask about using magazines holding more than 10 rounds in a fixed magazine configuration is legal if you legally acquired those magazines. I am only trying to help. Again you are wrong brother.
Gun community needs to get together and fight for California gun laws. Everyone should have the right to wield a full semi automatic ar 15 with no restrictions whatsoever

Featureless is better option, with a thordsen stock it changes hand position but its an easy train. Way faster than fixed mag, here you have to release the bolt, push the button to break action, press the button to drop the mag, close the action , finally recharge. Featureless: drop the mag, release the bolt. In high stress situation, muscle memory is faster with two steps instead of 5. Also you can have your grandfathered or freedom week standard capacity on featureless. So you have to reload more often with a fix mag option anyways. Featureless is the way to go imho
Your the best person that explained how this works, unlike other videos they just do it like the viewers already know what they talking about. Best info that you can also release the mag by the front bolt.
Pathetic, I'm moving. It's sad how accurate your word choice was, "I can't remove the mag to save my life."
Jacob Holloway To be honest compared to other fixed magazine options that are now considered "assault weapons" this is much faster.
Bullet button was a fixed magazine option which required use of a tool to drop the magazine and a bullet tip was considered a tool. This was in my opinion super slow and rifles like this were considered the norm.
I wish I could have a rifle that was just like everyone else's in a free state. However, I live in California and rifles with features are considered "assault weapons" so by complying with the law, I can keep all my features and have the rifle look and function as close to normal and stay legal.
Like I have said before, this is not slow at all. I go to Arizona a lot where they have no restrictions and I can freely remove mod which takes less than 1 minute(1 hex head screw). Now I find myself not taking the 1 minute to take off mod.
Instead I train on this setup and just keep getting faster. I would say it is as fast as a standard ak. The only difference is having to send bolt home.
Other than that, you just drop magazine and charge the weapon.
Toamaius D'Vignir I understand and agree, the only problem is knowing that it's faster obviously means next year they're going to ban this option as well.
It seems they are trying to do everything except physically taking them.I too live in California and I am starting to explore my interest in guns and it's sad how limited my options are.
I just bought an AR pistol upper and now I'm worried I won't even be able to complete my build.
But I will add that I am excited that if I can complete it this does look like an exceptional option.
Jacob Holloway Yeah, if you are now getting into firearms, it will come as a shock to see how many restrictions we have on commonly used firearms.
This option is very ban proof. In order for them to ban this set up they would need to do 2 things.
1, Somehow make the argument that a fixed magazine rifle is an "assault weapon"
2, Say that a single shot, bolt action action is an "assault weapon" this in my opinion would be impossible. Not only would they be coming after ar 15 or al weapons with a similar setup, but every hunting rifle in the state.. Fudds do not vote on black rifles. But talk about their wood guns and hunting rifles and they will come out of the wood work to stand and fight with us(at the polls)
This is a great set up for ar pistols, however after Jun 30, 2018 all 80% lowers require registration and you must ask for a serial number and have a certified FFL put it on your 80% lower before you can finish it. I also believe you can no longer make a pistol out of such lower in California.
There are tons of single shot exemption pistol lowers that are available for sale through private party which you can buy and use to complete your build using this setup, but instead of costing you market price they command a premium essentially it created a black market of sorts. Similar to buying any other off roster gun.
This makes me sad, good luck.
Toamaius D'Vignir
Military standard is to fire a shot, change the mag, and fire another shot within 1.5 seconds. Think about it. While a police officer can have his gun back up with 30 rounds against you, your taking around 4 seconds to have 10 rounds against him. Stand no chance.
Toamaius D'Vignir is it not possible for you to move from this shit hole state of yours ? Come to Tennessee we are still free Americans enjoying every possible gun right
I'm so sorry that your own government is working full time putting all of its efforts into oppressing you. Makes me sick.
There are options to the featureless grip. It's not that you cannot wrap your thumb around it, the web of your hand between thumb and trigger finger has to be higher than trigger as in a commonly stocked rifle, so one option is you can use a Juggernaught Tactical featureless grip. To me it's a much better option than disabling my magazine release to have to crack open the action.
www.calguns.net/calgunforum/showthread.php?t=1578369 currently similar setup exept it's now a .300 HAM'R, I might do a video on it later.
I went with a almost identical system. I utilize the Hogue Freedom Fighter, except I don't use the Jugernout pin. I use the AR maglock Kingpin. If there's a double feed and the bolt Carrier group is stuck back in the buffer tube you can push the AR Maglock Kingpin and it will break open far enough to release the magazine catch button, even with the bolt carrier group stuck back in the buffer tube. You will be able to remove the magazine.
Yeah, setup isn't bad, at the time this pin was the best. Still serves has it's place, but Freedom Week changed everything as per my pin comment lol.
Someone with common sense, and real ARs needs to take over California and restore it back to normalcy!
I'm 64. Been in CA most of my life. I don't expect to see the state loosened from the grip of the socialists during my lifetime. Am I pessimistic? Possibly. I think that's more of a realistic viewpoint.
Elder is the men that is needed in California and not Old ass Pelosis Nephews that take freedom and change the constitution
My stepfather has a ca compliant rifle and that front pin trick works incredibly great on 2 bullet jambs thanks.
Hey does this go for the criminals too?
Yes, all laws apply to criminals, however it only affects the law abiding.
SWATBOY21 the criminals are the winners here they don’t follow gun laws they can make there own guns anyway.
What stinks is if you don’t do this you become the criminal.
I know youre joking but lets say i want my ar15 to be plain jane style with none of this california compliant crap then all of sudden im a felon. So even though im an excelent example of a role model citizen their stupid laws make me a felon. Doesnt make sense at all.
@@toamaiusdvignir9468 so no?
I have the same setup on my ddm4v11.... the juggernaut takedown pin bypass is the best upgrade I ever did!
You know what the saddest part of all this is? The resignation in the guys voice, as if this is just another day at the office. Imagine getting in a real gunfight with that thing. No thanks. They shit all over the K.I.S.S. principle in California. My M4 is pristine, unaffected by BS politics, and never will be.
Never say never. There’s a country wide agenda going and guess what.. it’s to take away guns. The more they do that the more we get closer to becoming like China. Less people to fight back, call it a conspiracy but your grandkids kids will most likely see it full action.
I own a Socom 16 and love it, but I'm a n00b to the AR platform
I came across your vid and its a great start for research material
I to also live behind enemy lines in Cali, thanks for the vid!
Good thing semi automatic fire arms aren't assault weapons
Only if it looks like a "military weapon". Semi automatic rifles are okay, just not features and accessories if your rifle is black. They only ban features, and restrict magazine capacity, it has nothing to do with how weapon operates or caliber.
Heavy Jay was
6:00
In my setup with the Juggernaut rear pin, with the bolt locked back, I'm still able to pop the rear pin to the point of releasing the Freedom Fighter mag release pin to remove the magazine.
I think manipulating the front pivot point in the event of a jam is not needed then.
Yeah, they only went after features and magazine capacity. If you go featureless, you can have a standard magazine release.
I feel for you in California. Looks like such a pain. I don’t know how you can remember to do all that in a fight. Hope you never find yourself in that situation 🙏🏻.
Well, when all things are equal and capacity was the same regardless, then this was my choice. Of course freedom week changed everything. Legally I can't use any magazine bigger than 10 rounds on a "fixed magazine" rifle as it makes that an assault weapon as by definition they are only considered fixed magazine if it's limited to 10 rounds.
Right now my main setup is not bad at all. featureless and ambi-safety a long with a Resurgence Arms featureless grip. I can legally used my mags on this one. and besides not having a flash hider, pistol grip or and adjustable stock its the same. I travel to AZ frequently and when I take my rifle a long for the trip I don't bother changing it back to a standard configuration, train the same way I would have to use it in CA.
I watched this vid about 2 years ago and had it installed on my AR. Hands down best way to go. Went to visit my brother in Nevada and went to the range with him and him and his friends. His friends were informing me that Cali gun laws suck, I said yes they do and most of the people do also. I informed them my AR is asshole compliant. They never picked up on the button you hit while changing mags. Way better than a feature less Bud Light AR.
I travel outside of California and rarely relive the mod because I am so use to it. In free state without fixed magazine laws you can add any magazine regardless of capacity. However if you wanted a taste of freedom removing the Hogue Freedom Fighter is only an Allen key away takes 30 seconds. Putting it back on will take about 10 minutes including adjusting to ensure magazine won’t drop without action being opened.
Anywho glad you like the setup still best option if you like features. I like capacity myself now and went featureless so I can use my freedom week mags. I may do a quick video on it.
I really enjoy your AR! I'm in the market for my first AR and am trying to pick between a Daniel Defense or an LWRCI. I unfortunately moved back to the Bay Area here in California from Florida and feel like I got slapped in the face in regards to all the crazy laws here. In your opinion, what company do you recommend? I have a budget of about $2500 but would also like to use some of the towards upgrades if possible.
Also with the Hogue Freedom fighter combined with the AR Maglock King Pin
it is even faster to change your mag than it used to be with a bullet button.
This setup is faster than BB, BB was slow. This setup is fun, and fast. however Freedom Week changed everything.
Don't forget to message your House Representatives to vote AGAINST HR7115!
How do you name it 3D Gun Act when it DOESN'T include 3d Printers?
i was gone buy a AR was confused about the california complaint reload but you got it you got my like
The latest mass-killing shooting was done with a Glock - doesn't that pretty much shoot down (pardon the pun) the argument that only and AR does the worst killing(s)?
Virginia Tech had over x2 the body count as Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida. Weapons used were both handguns, one was .22 and the other was a 9mm gun control isn't about ar 15, they want all semi-automatic period.
Also, let's not forget those killed without the use of firearms in France, a truck can do so much more in less time. Not to mention car bombs or other means a crazy person intent on committing mass murder might use.. Guns aren't the issue.
@@toamaiusdvignir9468 Thank you Patriot! Once they get our semi's, they'll just ban all guns and confiscate- except for the Gestapo police who they want to control the FEMA camps. The NWO is lurking in our own gov't. Give up nothing! Take care, and keep up the good fight!
Mark H it’s the UN doing this, Obama and Nancy Pelosi signed your sovereignty over to a foreign entity. Treasonous
Hands down most dope CA complaint AR I have seen. Going to start my build soon, wish me luck.
Palmetto State Armory is got some killer deals going on. One example is a similar set up upper.
I paid 369.99 for mine, plus shipping and it is a 5.56 barrel.
They have a .223 Wylde 18" with 15.5 inch MOE Handguard, comes with MBUS sights and Bolt Carrier and Charging handle, I saw it for 299.99 with free shipping. That upper is better than mine. If you aren't savvy on .223 Wylde, it is pretty much a match grade .223 chamber that can handle 5.56 pressures. Shoots both, but when you shoot .223 it will be a tax driver.
PSA takes a long time to fulfill orders, but the value and product cannot be denied.
The Palmetto State Armory sale is only good through today for Labor Day. Hope you get this message before it ends and that you are financially ready to buy.
Trust me when I say you will not get a better complete upper with true military grade spec parts and materials for the money uptown 1000.00 for only 300 bucks shipped. Good luck.
Also, they have a Sig Sauer Rome5 red dot for 120.00 shipped which is a killer optic with an over 100.00 savings since they are shipping it free as well.
Good luck.
looking at the site now! probably going to buy the rest of my build before the end of the night!
@@mau5islife Yeah killer deals, like I said, if your build is standard 5.56/.223
That .223 Wylde complete upper for 299.99 shipped just cannot be beat. Probably a sub 1" upper. That Sig Sauer Romeo5 for 119.99 shipped also is just too good to pass on lol.
I agree: The Hogue Freedom Fighter combined with the Juggernaut Tactical Rear Takedown pin/release is the best combination to keep your AR compliant with the tyrannical Commieforniastan.
ask Matt Lol, yep. This should be good even when they redefine "assault weapon" I hear this year they are going to include any semi-automatic center fired rifle that accepts a detachable magazine. So featureless ar and all hunting rifles.
this is the combo i need to put on my Anderson Am15 cause man its a pain in the ass to drop the whole front to just change mags. glad Toamaius D'Vignir
spoke bout these things!!
tuna0n3 Yep, this is truly the best combo. I travel to free states a lot and sometimes when I am feeling lazy, I find myself not taking the 1 to 2 minutes it takes to convert this to a standard ar15.
Only thing I do different is use standard capacity magazines vs reduced capacity magazines. Even my Arizona friends who have no idea what compliance rifles are find this setup easy to train on. I also take every shooting opportunity to train on this.
Bolt release, push to crack action open, release magazine, insert magazine, close action, charge weapon.(keep in mind this is a reload from bolt lock)
Tactical reloads are,
Crack action open, release magazine, reload fresh magazine, close action....
If you are okay with magazine modifications or buying special mags(make sure you verify 100% function and reliability). I highly recommend using complete Juggernaut Tactical Hell Fighter Kit.
Will turn your operation of arms to that of an ak pattern rifle, you will lose your bolt catch.
From empty, bolt will automatically slam forward, crack action open, release magazine, reload fresh magazine, close action and charge weapon.
Double feeds can be cleared as well, it just takes a little more time than Hogue Freedom Fighter Kit combo with JT Hellfighter Kit.
i saw a few videos about a tether that seemed to do the job then came across your video and man did it change my mind! i have both styles of CA complaint AR's but this seriously made a whole difference to this style. im so glad to have came across this video. thank you again man! really much appreciated!
tuna0n3 Np, thanks for watching.
Well, that's very nice, but the AR Maglok with Kingpin does the same thing. The problem is that the first products were engineered a lot better than the ones you get nowadays. Now the button extension often doesn't fit through the small crack and the extended release button can't open the mag release. I'm to the point where I'm just going to disobey the law and put normal factory releases in all my rifles. The chances are I won't get caught because most cops don't understand the administrative regs about separating the upper and lower to drop the mag, and, to their credit, many don't care.
So Sad.
This is helpful I just started to build my first ar, good thing we can have 30 rounders again!
NOTE: I am not a lawyer, I am not giving you legal advice. If you need legal advice please speak to an attorney. With that said,
Keep in mind that "fixed magazine" rifles are limited to 10 round magazines only. If you insert a magazine on a rifle that is, under law in a fixed magazine configuration, you will be in possession of an unregistered "assault weapon" please don't ne that guy.
This is a "fixed magazine" setup and you must be careful. This is a setup if you want your rifle to look like a standard configuration ar15 in looks only. Eventhough you can legally own magazines with capacities greater then 10 rounds, do not put them in a "fixed magazine" rifle or a Registered "Bullet Button Assault Weapon"(BBRAW)
Exactly what I was looking for! Thanks so much for sharing.
Glad you found it useful. I am going to be doing an update video. Added a Magpul B.A.D Lever to help make sending bolt home 2nd nature. I also replaced the red dot for a Holosun HS515GM and added an Inforce WML-X. Hope to have video up soon.
Have a similar setup to yours. Hellfighter rear takedown pin from juggernaut, and the fab defense gl stock with ultimags and couplers. A good setup. I’m using the “calcatch” shim that inserts in between the bolt catch from 33.3 Tactical. Nice video and good taste my friend. I run the same setup on all my ar rigs.
I love the GL-Mag,OMC Ultimag combo, you too have good taste. Thanks for watching.
My personal opinion is. The only crappy part of featureless is the flash hider,other than that I don't see any issue with featureless, featureless rife you can straight click on the mag release pop in your mag and your good to go.
I see where you are coming from, however with that said, there are better featureless options that are more ergonomic than an featureless ar 15.
I don't see a point of a featureless ar, unless it is a SCR or SU-16, those 2 rifles are naturally featureless, the SCR will take any standard ar upper assembly. These rifles do not have to be modified to be featureless and shoot just like any standard hunting rifle or shotgun. I won't even mention a mini 14.
We like the ar, because it is a full featured modern sporting rifle, when you convert setup your rifle into a featureless configuration, you give up everything that makes it an ar 15.
@David Faria Agreed, even the thumb shelved ones don't feel quite right.
@That grey area Hmmm.... How is defiance by legal compliance make anyone a cuck? The state wanted us to register our modern semi-automatic sporting rifles as "assault weapons" based on features only. Doing this allows me to defy registration and keep all the "evil feature" they were looking to ban. With that said, you sir are an idiot.
I don't understand why i can't have a pidtol grip muzzle brake and adjustable stock on a center fire rifle, but can on a rim fire.
So if i did a .22 block conversion in my AR, and kept all the features, is it now ok or is it still an assult weapon?
@@jross13450 .22 not considered assault weapon lol i have all my features on my .22 AR and they even sell them with pistol grips, detachable mag and vertical grip.
That is crazy,I have an AR with twin 40 rd p-mags with the Taylor Freelance extenders on each mag & TF bolt that holds the mags together,86 rounds onboard.
In California fixed magazines are limited to 10 rounds. #freedomweek changed everything. Fixed magazine is no longer the best option. Featureless is the way to go. 30, 40, 60, 100, 200, 250 round options and a standard magazine catch/release is > forward pistol grip, flash hider, pistol grip and adjustable/collapsible stock.
Yea, NO. I mean, i guess wutever you gotta do to be compliant but... I jus can't imagine having to to all that. I don't even like driving thru California for that reason lol! Good job tho bro on your build. You did an awesome job installing the kit. Seemed to work flawlessly. It IS the best version of the choices you're allotted, i will say that. Atleast you can remove the clip and collapse your stock!
I watched two other cal complaint videos on this and you explained it better than they did. Totally subscribing!👍👍👍
Thanks for the info, I’m currently trapped behind the blue curtain of commiepornia and we’re still trying to fight this political corruption that has overwhelmed my once great state.
What most Americans don’t understand is that where this state goes the rest will likely follow so we have to stop the spread of this mental disease here. It’s starting in Virginia...
I missed this message, but thanks for your comment and apologies the crudeness. I just wanted to get to info out and wanted to help out as many people as I could.
Actually, when no mag inserted, it is *still an assault weapon* by California standards. The actual definition includes, *the ability to accept* greater than 10 round capacity magazines. Which, at the time a magazine is not inserted, that rifle is capable of. Sorry to burst your bubble.
you did open the rear with the bolt to the rear. so you should still be able clear a jam with the hellfighter kit pin
I like the features so I will go with your setups for hunting rifle.
Yeah wouldn't be that bad for that application, if you are looking for a good hunting round I recommend .300 HAM'R, you lose 1 round of capacity, but hits harder than an AK, very similar to a 30-30
After a long tussle between deciding on which rifle to get i bought a barret rec7, some mags, nice 4x glass, grip,... then i found out my jobs taking me to northern california where my hobby is limited to this bullshit i’m watching rn. Spent well over 4k on everything just to say goodbye to it all..
....just great...
Yeah that sucks man. Sorry to hear that. Only hope we have is the cases making their way up to SCOTUS.
I used the AR Maglock, and my local dealers are saying it's illegal... Yet, it is basically a breech open rifle, in order release the mag.
It is only illegal if you can remove the magazine without first disassembling the firearms action.
Ask yourself this, can you remove the magazine without opening the receivers? Can you remove it with the use of a tool(not disassembly)?
The "hellfighter mag release kit" is just about standard stuff for "fixed mag" compliance.
I was going to get the hellfighter kit but, opted for the 33.3 Calcatch kit. Fast to reload and also to fully take down your AR without disassembling the kit.
Forgot to add that it is the Gen 3 one.
Sergio Moreno I am familiar with it. I will check it out.
Sergio Moreno Okay, I checked out the 33.3 Tactical Gen 3.3 CalCatch and honestly it is slower than the Juggernaut Tactical Hellfighter Mod Kit Rear Takedown Pin.
JTactical pin is push actuated and resets auto. Just push to open and close no need to touch pin after you close receivers.
Also, to separate the receivers, just unscrew pin cap and push pin out like normal. You only need to twist pin to open position, kinda like CalCatch, but easier.
Also, left hand friendly as you can push with right or left hand thumb.
I'm using the POF Minuteman and so far with me I think the best combo is gen 4 maglock + kingpin + bad lever.
Nice rifle. It sure stinks that we have to deal with this stuff in California, but I'm glad there are options.
At 1:08 you mention that "if you can wrap your thumb around it, it is considered a pistol grip", I just wanted to clarify that there is more to the definition than simply wrapping your thumb around. I only say this because we make a grip that you CAN wrap your thumb around, but it is NOT considered a pistol grip according to the DOJ definition.
The codes and laws are confusing and have changed so much, so I included the latest definition here...
California Code of Regulations, Title 11, Division 5, Chapter 39, Article 2, § 5470,
z) “Pistol grip that protrudes conspicuously beneath the action of the weapon” means a grip that allows for a pistol style grasp in which the web of the trigger hand (between the thumb and index finger) can be placed beneath or below the top of the exposed portion of the trigger while firing. This definition includes pistol grips on bullpup firearm designs.
Keep supporting pro-2A groups and please vote!
Sparrow Dynamics Appreciate the clarification. I was generalizing, the term "pistol grip".
I have seen similar wraps and finned pistol grips. Yours is the only other stock/grip I have seen that allows a traditional hunting rifle type grip such as Thorsden FRS-15 Gen III
I took a look at your grip, and I got to admit it is quite ingenious. I saw it in combination with your safety levers. I have another lower receiver to build and seriously considering going the featureless route, definitely would consider trying Sparrow Dynamics Compliant Grip and AMBI Safety Selector. I appreciate companies that make products with us stuck behind enemy lines in mind. Thank you.
Right on, thank you.
"Push the front take down"....popopop
Oh shit im dead
Okay... It is only seconds slower then a standard double feed malfunction. If 2 seconds or less is life or death you would be dead anyway.
I rather not have to do it, but it is law and unfortunately I am a law abiding citizen. If I were only a criminal or government official, then I wouldn't have to abide by laws as they wouldn't apply to me.
@@toamaiusdvignir9468 not like its a stab at you but CA is dumb. I have a shotgun that can hold 14 shells + 2, 1 pump is 2 trigger pulls, But an AR has to be limited every 6 months. But sorry in a possible scenerio were your life is at risk even one second counts my friend.
@@michael3424 Not to the point you are talking about. Having a type 3 malfunction with a standard rifle sucks, at that point seconds don't really matter. As far as you can pull the front pin and drop.the mag is the only difference. What I am getting at is, if having to do the extra step makes that big a a difference it would matter if it was a standard rifle or not. You are dead either way.
By the way, I hope that everyone has a pistol with them as well. Transition is always faster then reloading.
Plenty of money for a very nice rifle with fancy accessories, optics and the special compliant parts, but when it comes to spending two bucks on a new battery for the old smoke detector...well, you've got to cut costs somewhere!
I can assure you, batteries have been changed.
Until something gets in that void between the upper and lower, like your shirt or small particle under a stress situation and your done.
I hope criminals are watching this so that they are not breaking the law.
😂
I myself went with the AR maglock with the kingpin .
Great video!! I feel more confident with my new featured AR. I will definitely get a bolt catch installed on my AR. Great tips!!
Slick set-up, for California that is.
Don’t forget about Bullet Buttons. That’s an illegal feature here in Calfornia as well now.
File the houge pin down a tiny bit and you can drop the mag with the bolt locked back...
Yeah, an option but not necessary, also over time the plunger will wear. If you ever get bound up and they hit that button and magazine drops, you are instantly a felon and probably losing your rights and going to prison... Not sure it's worth it.
I am a young shooter (not yet legally allowed to own a gun) and I love the sport and hobby. I planned on doing three gunning since I was really little but now I can no longer effectively do the sport because of these ludicrous laws :(
Are you 18? If so you can still own a long gun in CA.
@@toamaiusdvignir9468 I’m not yet 18, I have to have my dad purchase a gun when I have the money. But in California these restrictions hinder the shooter ability to speed through courses that you find in three gun ranges. Such as the lack of pistol grip on a featureless and the fixed mag on a featured.
@@zachshenanigansyt8139 My featureless setup is blazing fast and a side cosmetic looks, it is perfect fof 3-gun. I woll be making a video soon I hope.
idk i think that the fixed mag option is just still way too slow compared to featureless option. It isn't slow by any means, just the standard featureless AR just blows it out of the water. It's great that you can clear a double feed with this system but again too slow imo for any defensive situation.
T0xicN0va Hmm... No, not at all. I go to Arizona a lot and stopped taking the 1 minute or less it takes to remove the magazine lock portion of this set up. I am not going to argue being able to drop magazine on a last bolt hold open situation isn't faster, it is.
Before I can drop the magazine in a last round bolt hold open situation, I must first send my bolt home, then open receiver, drop magazine,.and charge weapon.
The only thing this set up does vs a standard magazine release is having to charge weapon. Opening receivers by pushing a button is a non issue.
So in Arizona, I have done reload tests vs this fixed magazine setup and a standard magazine release and time isn't that much. When I go against someone who is versed in guns as I am, reload is about 1 to 2 seconds faster.
While their times stay the same or improve marginally, my time keeps getting significantly faster. I have about 500 rounds through this set up, and again I am no longer taking the time to remove lock and it takes less than 1 minute(a simple hex screw and remove magazine release button plunger)
I disagree about times being so different that this rifle can't be used in a defensive situation. I find the battery of arms as fast as a standard AK, and would you argue they can't be used in a defensive situation?
Featureless is the way to go... It might be nice to have a pistol grip and a flash suppressor, but once you get a malfunction or actually need to depend on your rifle working flawlessly, you will understand why.
I always carry a handgun on me so, I am reaching for that instead of clearing the malfunction. With that said, you can clear the malfunction with minimal effort vs a standard configuration ar15. I say, if clearing a malfunction on this setup is going to get you killed, same is true of a standard ar15.
As far as featureless being better, why even bother with a featureless ar15? There are way better, more ergonomic choices that don't have to be modified to be featureless. Here are a few that come to mind,
Ruger Mini-14,Kel-Tec RDB-C, Kel-Tec SU-16, Fightlite SCR if you want the feel of an ar15 and takes a standard upper.
If the California police are not allowed to enforce immigration laws, then they shouldn't enforce gun laws. Leave that to Cal DOJ.
Police aren't immigration officers lol, but here in Riverside, our police do turn over people to border patrol depending on what crime they commit.
Why are we not fighting back? We’re basically just allowing them to punch us and were dodging it until they get a hit.
Not registering is defiance. They want registration. Skirting the law is a way to say FU to the legislature .
Thanks but you should put links to all products in your description
Putting links in video description is against the current UA-cam anti gun policies.
I am a beginner, but I think it’s really cool AR which I want to get, so what brand, model for this one & how much will this one cost? Thanks!
Hi there. This is a custom build.
Lower is an Anderson Manufacturing Ghost Stripped Lower(means it only has model and serial number, no logo or graphics) In the lower is a Palmetto State Armory Lower Parts Kit(less the fire control group) Trigger is a ALG Defense ACT Trigger. Buffer Tube Extension Assembly is a carbine length Palmetto State Armory Mil-Spec. Grip and trigger guard are Magpul MOE. The stock is a FAB Defense GL-Mag with a 10 round FAB Defense Ultimag.
Upper is a 16" mid-length Palmetto State Armory 7-1 twist Nitride with 13.5 inch Magpul M-LOK Handguard. Sights are Magpul MBUS Gen 2.
Then what makes it compliant are Juggernaut Tactical Hellfighter Mod Kit Takedown Pin and Hogue Freedom Fighter. Should cost about 900.00 to build this yourself, plus or minus 100.00
Hope this helped, thanks for watching.
A double feed will result in the inability to remove the magazine without further disassembly of the weapon and/or magazine. While that may be ok on the flat range, for a defensive or competition carbine it's a non-starter IMO.
No type of ar pattern malfunctions can stop this setup. Double feed is taken care of by removing the front pin, lifting up slightly, then simply dropping magazine, pushing back front pin and racking the charging handle. Insert new magazine and you are back in the fight.
@@toamaiusdvignir9468 If you're in a fight by the time you do all that you're dead. But thank you for making something usable for a lot of applications in California. IMO life or death fights isn't one of them.
@@rickbrown9523 How long does it take to clear a double feed on a standard configuration rifle? Drop mag, rack, rack charging handle and insert fresh magazine and charge the gun and fire. To do this with this fixed magazine rifle only adds the step of pushing out the front pin lifting up slightly, push pin back and it is the same process.
Again, not slow and maybe only seconds slower than a standard configuration rifle. Just being familiar with the and training. Let's face facts here, if you have a malfunction with a regular rifle you could die as well and the seconds it takes to push out a pin won't matter. I am not saying this is better than a standard rifle, not saying it is as good either. What I am saying, if you practice with, things become second nature and you absolutely can defend you and yours wirh it.
@@rickbrown9523 If there is a SHTF scenario, all of CA stuff is coming off. And with my AK, simple as taking off the grip wrap.
a m1a is better suited for battle then going thru all these extra steps to comply w a California ar reload
The only extra you have is a adjustable stock and a pistol grip. Wouldn't it have been better to just go featureless with a Resurgent Arms Featureless Grip and a stock lock? At least then you would have a normal mag release and regular take downs. Just trying to figure out why you chose the route you did. Not dogging it by any means. Nice video.
The evil flash hider duh..... I also want my ar to look like an ar in defiance of the left's dumb ass features ban.
Only issue with these kits are you have to modify the lower receiver permanently. You can just run a compmag, transport your rifle with the BCG taken out, and it's fully legal.
There are tons of options that do not require any modifications and can be undone fast in an emergency or if you find yourself in a free state for a competition or just some free state plinking.
You mentioned CompMag, that is a decent option for a no frills plinking ar and allows you to travel no problem. I own a CompMag, only thing I don't like about it is, it is a single stack only magazine.
I am going to be doing video on other options and give my opinion. Have you heard of the FC Hook? This is a ingenious device made by Torque Precision that allows you to make any rifle compliant by just swapping out your magazine catch.
It makes the rifle fixed magazine and allows you to use any double stack magazine and cannot be removed while receivers are closed and pins are pushed closed.
What I like over the CompMag is, since it uses the magazine of your choice, you can use magazine port loaders like those made by MEAN ARMS or Bear Flag Defese the later being my favorite.
Video to come soon. I just have to find time.
Toamaius D'Vignir Id personally not want to scratch up my cerakote rifle, but IMO that is a better option. My rifle can’t even accept a freedom fighter because it has an ambi bolt release which already has a passage in the way. I don’t have a problem with the single stack. They feed well, just the bolt catch chewed up the mag and doesn’t work unless I get a new one. I can live with it though.
@@DaveDuzzit Does your rifle use a standard magazine catch? If so, you might be a better candidate for an FC Hook. No modification and you can choose what magazine you want to use with it. I believe some mags require slight modifications (Magpul PMAG and FAB Defense Ultimags)
Toamaius D'Vignir the only problem with those is they scratch cerakote uppers.
Ar maglock makes a nice one too no drilling onto your lower involved
They do, but ask user of the AR Maglock and you will hear about marring on the side of the receiver. Hogue is iron clad, reversible and not an eye sore...

Assembly Bill 879, sponsored by Assembly Member Mike Gipson (D-64), would require precursor firearms parts to be sold/transferred through a licensed precursor parts dealer in a similar process to the new laws regarding ammunition purchases.
Thanks God there others good choices to make when it comes to weapons.
No doubt, an ar15 like this is for those who want to be defiant by staying within the letter of the law. This setup allows you to have a rifle which when fired is essentially the same as what they consider an "assault weapon" has all the evil features. So they lose. In my opinion if you chose to convert an ar15 to a featureless model, then they win. Like you said there are better options that aren't an ar15 that are naturally featureless. That new Kel-Tec rifle looks pretty cool. I don't like the MSRP tho. I feel like companies who make products for California want to make more money for their products than they can justify in free states.
Kel-Tec RBD-C
Yeah who needs military pistol grips they add like +20 damage points with that you can deplete an npcs health points in like 3 shots not to mention +10dp for the rapid fire adjustabump stock and the another +30dp for the bird cage of death, its basically an instakill gun and once you land 100 nut shots you unlock chainsaw attachment.
Lol, exactly...
The weapon would still able to fire a round (inside the chamber) even with the upper receiver cracked open, which creates a major hazard because the bolt carrier would not able to push back into the buffer tube... So beware if you are taking this setup to the range...
I don't understand your argument, ""The weapon would still be able to fire a round (inside the chamber) even with the upper receiver cracked open, which creates a major hazard because the bolt carrier would not be a legitimate to push back into the buffer tube... So beware if you are taking this setup to the range..."
If you concern is the weapon firing and bolt carrier not being able to go inside buffer tube, that is a non issue. It's pretty much a single shot at that point.
Nothing happens if the action doesn't cycle. No danger whatsoever.
If your concern is legality, also a non issue. Only semi-automatic rifles are considered "assault weapons", when you press the rear takedown pin button it stops the semi-automatic action as it no longer is capable of firing in semi-automatic.
I hope I cleared up any concerns.
I’m not concern about the legality of it, I’m just saying it could be a hazard because you can potentially fire the weapon without the upper receiver completely close.
@@gearykanel3697 Okay, so what is the problem with that? I mean, you would only fire the weapon if you pull the trigger.
That is like saying handguns or rifles that can fire with out the magazine being inserted is a hazard... If you pull the trigger no damage will come to the rifle. So the only issue is an ND, but an ND is and always will be an ND. No such thing as an AD...
Juggernaut tactical sells the modified rear take down pin and the bolt catch for the magazine as a kit on their website
Nice set up
Thanks, I still think this is the best fixed magazine setup. I currently have a featureless setup chambered in .300 HAM'r as my preferred setup as even if you legally acquired standard capacity magazines you can't use them in a fixed magazine rifle.
Featureless is the way to go in my opinion.
Great video. Well explained!!!!
Thanks, I apologize for how the crudeness, I just wanted to get some info out. I been thinking about giving making videos another shot. Maybe if I hit the dreaded 1K subs lol.
If you want a real "fighting rifle", go FEATURELESS in California. Fuck dealing with double feed jams etc. I went featureless a d locked my stock where I want. I use a mega finshark that has a thumb rest.
If you want a featureless ar, SU-16 or SCR is better. There is always the classic mini 14 which all are better than a featureless configuration ar 15.
I don't know. I heard that in order to comply with "full featured" , the mag must be welded, riveted, or glued in.
Not in California.
When your done firing you open your action to drop the mag. You go to close it. Now its consider as an assault weapon. You have to load it then you close the action.
Hugo Vega Nope, no you don't. When receivers are closed together, it is a fixed magazine rifle. The laws language is only talking about removing the magazine when rifle is assembled. By being fixed magazine, it is and cannot be an "assault weapon"
fixed magazine rifles you can’t have a magazine capacity of over 10 rounds. being we had freedom week here in cali we are able to have standard capacity magazines in our featureless rifles. i prefer having a 30 rounder and the ability to drop the mag with the press on one button.
You said what I said during freedom week... This build only applies if all things are equal, all changed post freedom week. I will make another video update on what my setup looks like now. *spoiler* it is a fixed magazine variant.
Don't worry about the gun rights worry about that battery in that smoke detector
Is this juggernaut rear take down pin still legal? I've heard it's not legal anymore in CA? I'm curious cuz I want to get one. Lol
Yes, it's legal. The pin doesn't make it compliant without using their "bolt catch lock" or other options like AR MagLock or Hogue Freedom Fighter. This rifle is legal as it was shown in the video.
They keep moving the flag post and everyone keeps complying. Now you can't have a flash hider, pistol grip, No collapsing stock...
When the upper is separated, The BCG is in battery and the hammer will still reach the firing pin leading to a catastrophic failure !!!
Lions Pride No, if the rifle does fire, it will do so in a single shot operation which does not meet the definition of an assault rifle(assembled, semi automatic)
Also, the back of the lower receivers buffed tube extension will stop bcg from flying out.
I wouldn't recommend firing it as a single shot, but will not stop the rifle I'd you accidentally did.
Great info! Thanks a lot!
I was born in California and now I live in Texas. I know that the laws in California don't affect me, but it does, it offends me that fellow gun owners in California can't enjoy the same rights I have in Texas.
One of these days, I'm going to build a California compliant featureless AR in solidarity with my fellow Californians.
I hear you man very few states are still truly lost many states. Some of the most pro-gun ones too. Arizona is currently gun friendly, but there is a fight brewing. Now a blue state...
Florida just had tons of gun control (under Republican watch too)
Colorado, Nevada Gun control is coming and it does not discriminate...
@@toamaiusdvignir9468 If you're a Republican, they let you restrict 2A rights with no hitch. Reagan did it when he was governor and President and Bush senior did as well. And those 2 fall on the same pedestal as Obama and Pelosi.
2A rights are a political 3 point shot for both blue and red politicians.
And I know Texas won't fall for it, guns are the literal culture of the state.
@@InfoBlox762 Colorado, Nevada, Florida? Florida was known as the Gunshine state. Stay politically active, no state is immune from gun control.
in Cali: What do you do at the practice range? Most every range I've used in California, during cease fire you need to drop the mag and have your weapon showing the chamber is empty. On an Umodified, or Bullet Button setup, the ejection port is open and the RSO can inspect the chamber, or you have a chamber flag in. If when the mag is out, and the charger is not locked back, the ejection port is closed, correct? do you have to pull back the changer, put in a chamber flag, and then let the charger return forward against the chamber flag?
I know the RSOs were dreading this law because it adds more risk at the range during malfunctions. I think we all were taught besides maintaining muzzle in a safe direction, dropping the mag was one of the first things you do.
Not sure I followed what you were trying to get at? This rifle does have last round hold open and magazine can be removed, however since this is a fixed magazine rifle (kinda like a M1Garand or SKS) they don't expect you to remove the magazine. You can lock the bolt back to show clear.
If you absolutely wanted when a ceasefire is called, you could fire last round, send bolt home after last round hold open, drop magazine pull charging handle back and have the bolt back and locked and no magazine in the gun.
Laws only consider a gun an "assault weapon" if you can remove the magazine before first opening the action. Says nothing about assembly of a fixed magazine rifle before you can insert the magazine. This setup wouldn't fall under an "assault weapon" because even if you could insert the magazine, you couldn't remove it before first opening up the action. I hope this makes sense lol. If it sounds ridiculous it is, and so are the laws.
How is that ca compliant? You still have a pistol grip and adjustable butt stock right? I was under the impression that the grip needed to be modified so your thumb can’t be wrapped around and their are companies that sell good compliant grips. I was told also that if you change the grip to that funky new “compliant” one you can then “fix” the adjustable butt stock you have and that would make it compliant. Other choice would be to make it into a bolt action and keep the features 🤷🏻♂️ ????
Uncer California laws, your weapon is an "assault weapon" if your rifle is semiautomatic and has detachable magazine and any 1 offending feature.
This a fixed magazine rifle. The magazine cannot be removed when in semiautomatic configuration
To remove the magazine lower and upper must be separated (disassembled) before you can prove the magazine.
Fixed magazine rifle are in compliance with state laws. Only way to make a fixed magazine rifle into an "assault weapon" is to put a magazine which hold more than 10 rounds.
Another way to have a legal semiautomatic rifle that has a detachable magazine is a featureless rifle. This means no flash hider, no forward pistol grip(2nd pistol grip forward of the receiver), no pistol grip, no adjustable/folding or collapsible sticks. Think of a Ruger Mini 14 with a standard sporting stock. Just make sure I'd you have a muzzle device of any kind it is not sold/advertised by its manufacturer as "flash hiding" same applies to ar/ak pattern rifles.
You can’t clear double feeds or jams with that kit and I heard they are expensive ! I use the AR mag lock with the king pin . Paid a total of $55
You can have the bolt locked back and release the magazine with the kit try it
Johnny, you can, that was the whole point of this video. As I said in one of my pinned comments Feedom Week changed everything. If you legally own standard capacity mags you would be a fool not to have featureless as your main setup.
A little gimmicky however, I am sure it has it's uses.
This is what I'm looking for. I'm not interested in having an AR as a home defense weapon. I want to practice marksmanship. Going featureless is not an option
Yeah, definitely makes a sweet setup. I still stand by what I said about this rifle. Not slow, you can clear malfunctions quick magazine roads.
Even if you decide only to use it as a range toy, still worth it.
I said fuck it and got the fin grip and muzzle break on mine since I can't fathom having to go through extra steps just to release a mag and put new one in if needed in the heat if the moment.
Just for looks honestly, besides the reload it feels like a regular ar.
However like I said in previous comments, fixed mag is limited to 10 round magazines only. Even if you legally own standard capacity or 11+ magazines from before assault weapons ban or acquired thrm during freedom week, fixed magazine is limited. Look at my calguns post so you can see my featureless setup. Very sweet and can legally use magazines you acquired legally. Fin grips are no bueno.
@@toamaiusdvignir9468
Calguns post? Where do I find this?.
And I can understand everyone's hate at the fin grip, served 2 tours OEF and OIF and then got out , moved to Cali from NC and was like ... wtf is this shit.
But I can deal with the fin , I can't have a locked mag . Reloading in the heat of the moment is so important that 1 second difference can be life or death.
But ima be moving back to NC so none of these Cali rules will matter to me.
Then I can get the M45A1 ..
Criminals better become compliant with the new law or the government is going to take their AR’s!!! 😂
SoCal Hispanic Lol, their goal is to make criminals out of the law abiding.
I put the patriot pin in mine she’s picky with mags gettin the bolt stuck
The best way to comply with California gun laws is to move
That is the cowardly thing to do. Plus, have you forgotten about,
Colorado, Nevada, Florida and coming soon Arizona?
@@toamaiusdvignir9468 you are correct on that. I really just dislike most of California. I live in Northern California or as the people here call it Oregon. Keep fighting
Or not comply
@@kingschwag4208 Easy to say, not as easy to do. Not compliance means you will be a 2nd amendment martyr and nothing else. You will be a felon, face real prison time and or ridiculous fees/lawyer expenses and lose your rights forever.
A lot wouldbw internet keyboard commandos come and leave non compliance comments, I never see them at the range, or any public shooting locations, **shrug**
Toamaius D'Vignir
Pretty ballsy of you to call people who uproot their lives and everything they’ve ever known, family, friends, home to find a better life free of restrictions “cowardly”. Cowardly is staying in that shithole cowering to your government overlords and thanking them for the scraps that resemble freedom they throw your way. Coming up with excuses as to why it’s “the better option” to comply. Ya real brave of you 😂🤣😂
I guess I’m not taking a AR-15 to a gunfight too much drama I’ll be dead by the time I reload! 😡
In all honesty, this isn't much slower than a standard reload. I dare say that a regular reload would be just as consequential.
