This video explores the Fold AR MOA, a folding upper receiver designed as a legal alternative to folding stocks for AR-15s in California. The presenter explains California's Penal Code 30515, which defines assault weapons based on features and overall length, making traditional folding stocks problematic. The Fold AR MOA allows for a compact, backpackable firearm without violating these laws by folding the upper receiver itself.
This video explains California's complex laws regarding folding stocks on semi-automatic firearms. It clarifies that folding stocks are generally prohibited on 'featureless' rifles due to assault weapon definitions. For fixed-magazine rifles, the overall length requirement of 30 inches in the shortest fireable configuration makes folding stocks impractical without significantly longer barrels. For AR-15 pistols, folding stocks are permissible if the overall length remains above 26 inches, but adding a vertical foregrip then triggers NFA regulations.
