Washington, D.C. Compliant Firearms

Dark Storm Industries offers several firearm configurations for customers in the District of Columbia, including Fixed Magazine Rifles, Fixed Magazine Pistols, and Thunderbolt Bolt Action Rifles and Pistols.

DSI Fixed Magazine Rifles and Pistols use our patented DS-15 fixed-magazine lower receiver, which is manufactured without a magazine-release pocket. Rather than relying on an aftermarket magazine-locking device, the fixed-magazine configuration is built directly into the receiver and uses a permanently affixed 10-round magazine.

This purpose-built design allows the DS-15 platform to retain familiar AR-style ergonomics and features while using a fixed-magazine configuration intended for restricted jurisdictions such as Washington, D.C.

Our Thunderbolt Bolt Action Rifles and Pistols provide a manually operated alternative. The Thunderbolt is manufactured without a semiautomatic gas system and requires manual operation of the action between shots while retaining DS-15 ergonomics and component compatibility.

Important Notice:

  • Firearms supplied for Washington, D.C. are configured with 10-round magazines where applicable.
