Stag Arms has announced a new line of AR-15 Featureless Rifles. Each rifle comes with a 16″ target crowned barrel made of 4140 steel with a 1:9 twist, and true to its name is lacking in “features” such as a pistol grip, muzzle brake, and forward grip that would define it as an “assault weapon” under California law. Additionally, every Featureless Rifle comes complete with the new Hera Arms California-compliant stock. These rifles are currently available for pre-order, and will be available in 6-8 weeks.

It’s a shame these are a thing due to narrow-minded politicians.
That being said, I’m curious about the dual sling loops up front?
Is this the only featureless CA legal ar 15 on the market?
Narrow minded? That term would legitimize the idea that they operate with a brain. No, I’m afraid they are completely brainless when it comes to the way they deal with firearms. Do a YouTube search of Kevin De Leon’s rant on his 30 Caliber Rounds per magazine Second to see a prime example of who writes our gun laws here in the great state of Dumbfuckistan. It doesn’t stop there though! It extends to our school system too! So awesome!
We you happen to know if these rifles are available in Canada?
Cheers
Why would you want one in Canada?
What are the magazine capacity and removal restrictions in CA now? I can’t keep up
Rule of thumb is 10 rounds on all platforms (all pistols/all rifles). There are niche exceptions but grabbers are hard at work eliminating those (prior to this year, there was no law criminalizing possession–only import or sale–of normal-capacity magazines).
AR-patterned rifles–or any rifle with a pistol grip and a way to change an ammunition magazine–are effectively done in California (10-day wait, meaning sales effectively ended last week). Any evil-featured firearm acquired between 2001 and 2016 must be registered with DOJ as an “Assault Weapon.” To many, this is the last step before constructive confiscation.
Hence an interest in workable solutions for “neutering.”
I think Muzzle Brakes aren’t considered a “feature” under CA law, but Flash Hiders are
I thought it was any threaded muzzle these days?
I’d guess that pinned and welded brakes would suffice, but I’d prefer a bare muzzle to a break if I was stuck with it possibly forever.
Muzzle Breaks are fine in CA
Muzzle breaks are never OK anywhere 😀
Installing a selector detent spring must be a bitch.
If you look closely at some of the pictures out there, especially this one:
http://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/1HERA2.jpg
There appears to be a removable rectangular plug that allows access to install the safety detent. Not sure what’s under there. Maybe a set screw or something, but it looks like they’ve got some sort of solution.
All gun companies need to collectively boycot sales to CA law enforcement but keep sell to civilians
I’d say they need to quit making this nonsense entirely. People in these states should quit supporting their elected leadership that comes up with those laws or accept that they support them. Either way take some accountability. Or even move to another state with the mindset of embracing how a new state does things. I don’t get it. And the more we act like CA laws make any sense, the more the feds do. Meanwhile pouring gas from cans without spilling half the volume gets tougher and tougher. Thanks california. I don’t even drive through the state anymore.
CA isnt the only problem state unfortunatly….NY, NJ, MA and CT
True, but the argument is still valid. Do what Magpul did and leave for a better state.
CT Here, all that the morons in Hartford do is copy CA and NY, they can’t think for themselves at all and follow the Dem platform like the drones they are, the state is tanking yet the people did nothing to make changes
There’s a reason me and many others are leaving in droves, would have left already but waiting for a work opening somewhere else
Problem is that the voters who elected grabbers also signed initiative petitions (to get grabber law on the books by a vote of the sheeple).
Lots of us don’t live here because we want to. We live here because we care for aging parents (and nieces and nephews) or work in industries where moving means re-establishing onesself professionally (presuming the work is even valued someplace other than Boston or NYC or an equally expensive city). I can’t wait to get out of here, and I was born here.
California Shooters mobilize and litigate. We fought back successfully against Sandy Hook hysteria (and thanks, Leland Yee for exposing grabber hysteria for the hypocrisy it is) but San Bernardino was too much, too soon.
How does punishing local law-enforcement change the minds of California politicians and the Libs Who vote them in?
Being held to the standards of the laws that you are enforcing doesn’t seem like punishment. And maybe it would even get your unions to stop backing gun control measures.
The police unions don’t back gun control measures – where did you learn that??
It is the big city police administrators who back these measures.
It’s not as easy as just moving for many people. Jobs (retirement systems), family etc …This also seems to suggest that this bullshit is isolated to California. It’s spreading and coming for many of us.
Support your statement, why?
Call me crazy, but Texas might be this way some day. Here’s why–California has made it so that no company that wants a chance at making a profit at all will keep doing business there. L.A.’s bread and butter, the movie industry, is there in name only. Check the shooting locations of most major movies these days and it won’t be in California. Other businesses are affected by the anti-business taxes and regulations as well.
As a result, many people are packing up and moving to Texas, and those fruits and nuts from California won’t be content to just move there and go along with the program. They will be bringing their stupid political agendas with them. They already have a foothold in the city of Austin.
I hope I’m wrong, but it’s something to consider.
I don’t call you crazy at all and I came to the same conclusions as you and crossed Texas off my move to list. Too bad.
Interesting. And quite possible.
Productions move to places like Louisiana because massive tax incentives lure them there. Google “Louisiana fiscal situation” to see how that’s worked out for them.
You can hire a shift of LE for what one salty traffic cop costs in Cali, and a caterer for what a Craft Services crew member will cost. If you think depressed labor costs are a good thing, cool that.
This whole deal arose from the writer’s strike, and the quaint notion that Charlie Sheen shouldn’t be snorting and screwing his way to bankruptcy on a million a week while the writers who make him seem funny (remember his one-man improv show? No? Me neither) are splitting rent on an RV in a Glandale parking lot. But hey, there’s enough Kardashian footage to keep that family on the air 24/7 nowadays.
All that said, the trucks that host all that temperature-controlled, moisture-controlled rack-mounted production gear have to home-base somewhere, and Louisiana is mighty hard on equipment, ensuring my side hustle keeps me evergreen. Until I can retire to Nevada…
And that’s my point straps–even the movie industry, which California is known for, has moved production to other states. And when Hollywood types move into a state even for a few months, they bring their wacky politics with them.
The only thing you got wrong was saying some day. It started a while ago. Austin has become a complete shit-hole, as it has been completely Calified. I see a straight up water war happening in Travis county a few years from now. My money is on the ranchers/native texans.
Meanwhile in Houston, I see more and more left-coast crunchy bullshit making in-roads. This place used to be alright. Now, I’m trying to leave for Ohio…
As someone born and partially raised in CA, I feel unclean admitting it.
By the looks of things, California will be the cause of all the sci-for guns from the 80’s.
Will be interesting to see the next round of evil gun bills:
“…appearance reminiscent of firearms seen in futuristic science fiction film releases shall be considered Assault Weapons, and their importation, manufacture, assembly, possession or distribution shall be considered a Felony…”
Is it wrong that I actually think it looks kind of cool?
If California’s elected officials have stated that they will not enforce federal law they feel are not constitutional or in keeping with their beliefs, doesn’t that establish a legal precedent for Californians and residents of other states with arcane gun laws to opt not to obey laws they feel are also not constitutional? Something about “Supremacy” comes to mind.
After all, the only people who can enforce state laws that don’t cross into federal laws are the state’s DOJ and local law enforcement.
So, unless there is a change to federal firearm’s laws regarding the configuration and/or ownership of modern sporting rifles, why should Californians feel compelled to adhere to this?
For anyone considering this as an option for a lower they already own, LANWORLD is their US reseller and you can leave an e-mail address to be informed when they get “re-stocked.”
oops.
Lan World told me they plan to have stock 1 week after Christmas.
California elected officials do not enforce federal laws. When a cop in California makes and arrest its for a Ca code or local municipal code violation. Only way they can enforce federal law is if that cop has a federal commission (specialty units often have this so they can cross state lines). I know what you’re talking about and those state and local retards said they would not cooperate with federal officials. Has nothing to do with actual enforcement though. It’s all talk to help generate votes from the pro illegal alien crowd.
Also, states can legally create their own gun laws so Californians feel compelled to adhere to these laws so they don’t got to prison and lose their jobs and watch their families go hungry. It’s easier to put a new stock on your rifle and swap out the flash hider to a muzzle break then ruin your life with some prison time.
Thank you Stag for at least thinking innovatively to provide for people in unconstitutional ban states until we can roll back these lawless, foolish, ill conceived, falaciously grounded, authoritarian mandates.
One day we will actually find lawyers who think as creatively about this issue as they do, say, class action consumer product lawsuits.
Oh yeah and once these go to market, the ruling authorities in NY will arbitrarily judge them part of the ban and covered by legislative “intent”, because that’s what dictatorships do. They override the law and constitution with their personal proclivities and lawless fiats.
By the way NY. What do you have when a small minority of legislators from NYC pass a “law” that most of the state simply ignores? How’s that registration going? Oh yeah, that’s right. Tens of thousands of them were “sold” out of state. M-Kay.
Sorry for the rant SSD. And I sincerely meant what I said about Stag. Great job gentlemen.
I would’ve moved out of CA by now. This is getting ridiculous.
Create a lower with a fixed 10 round mag that can be loaded with a stripper clip. Then create an upper to accommodate that. Similar to the M1 Garand or the Egyptian Hakim.
Look at what liberals have done to our babies. Can we just ban foaming at the mouth liberals instead of guns?
Shall Not Be Infringed.
In Ca. if a 15 is on school grounds and has a 12 oz can of beer it’s a misdemeanor if the same kid has any number of packages of marijuana for sale even on school grounds it’s an infraction, cite into juvenile traffic court. Our citizens and elected officials think guns are the problem…..
This place is lost and is working hard to bring the rest of the country down with it.
As California goes, so too does the rest of the country many times.
Look at the current vehicle emissions laws and ban on public smoking — these were in CA first.
Granted, those two examples were good laws…
But the rest of the country should not just say “Move out of California”.
Remember the Klinton rifle ban was based on California law.
Any current or future CA legislation may affect future federal firearms laws, so CA legislation must be reversed as much as possible.
So apples and oranges, but no. My aux tank on my truck, not ca legal. My gas cans with the grey caps, not ca legal. My guns not ca legal. I just won’t do it. Don’t care. F california.
