California Compliant Firearms

Yes, you can own an AR-15 in California — as long as it’s configured to meet the state's legal requirements. Dark Storm Industries offers several California-legal firearm configurations, including Fixed Magazine Rifles, Featureless Rifles, and Bolt Action Rifles.

Our Fixed Magazine Rifles include a permanently affixed 10-round magazine, which allows them to retain standard features such as a pistol grip and adjustable stock, all while remaining compliant with California's assault weapon laws.

Our Featureless Rifles are configured to avoid all restricted features. These include a fin grip, fixed stock, and standard magazine release—offering a compliant solution for those who prefer detachable magazines.

For those seeking a non-semi-automatic option, our Bolt Action Rifles are exempt from assault weapon classification in California. Built on our billet receiver platform, they are legal with detachable magazines and provide a compliant tactical or utility solution.

California residents may also purchase stripped lower receivers to build their own compliant rifles or pistols. If you're new to the platform, explore our DSI Builder Boxes for an easy entry point into building a legal AR-15 in California.

Important Points:

• All firearms listed here are legal to own and purchase in California.
• Fixed Magazine Rifles ship with a non-removable 10-round magazine.
• Featureless Rifles ship with compliant grip, fixed stock, and 10 round magazine.
• Bolt Action Rifles are not classified as assault weapons under CA law.
