Frequently Asked Questions

Are vertical grips legal on featureless rifles in California?

Generally, no. Vertical forward grips are considered a prohibited 'feature' on featureless rifles under California law. Angled grips and hand stops, however, are typically permitted as they do not fall under the same restrictions.

What defines a featureless rifle in California?

A featureless rifle in California is configured to comply with state assault weapon laws by lacking specific features. These typically include a pistol grip, collapsible stock, forward vertical grip, and flash hider.

What is the difference between an angled grip and a vertical grip on a rifle?

A vertical grip extends straight down from the handguard, perpendicular to the barrel, often resembling a pistol grip. An angled grip extends forward at an angle, providing a different support point without being strictly vertical.

Can I use a hand stop on my featureless rifle in California?

Yes, hand stops are generally permitted on featureless rifles in California. They are designed to prevent the supporting hand from sliding forward and are not classified as a prohibited vertical grip.
