Germany's HERA Arms work with LAN World for California legal rifle
LAN World Inc. started over 13 years ago in Salt Lake City, Utah, as a provider of California compliant firearms.
I am certainly no expert on the California firearms legislation, but with new upcoming and stricter rules (sigh) LAN World have been working with HERA Arms in Germany for several months on a new design that will meet the new 2017 California laws.
The pictures show the California option, called HERA Arms CQR Stock.
There will be another version for other states, and according to rumors there will also a CQR front grip, with a very special design.
The design will allow for normal magazine drops.
The design will work with carbine buffer tubes.
There is no mentioning of available calibers yet, but .223 Remington is a safe bet.
HERA Arms also work with 9×19 mm and .300 Whisper. In fact, their 9 mm rifles look very nice, with dedicated 9 mm lowers.
Below: Note the subtle Magpul PMAG D60 in the picture, as well as HERA magazines. I have tried the HERA Arms magazines, and at least my rifles didn’t like them at all. The handguard looks very nice.
Note the “HERA Gmbh” on the back of the CQR stock. GmbH stands for “Gesellschaft mit beschränkter Haftung”, which is German for a “company with limited liability”.The HERA Arms safety stands out.
The design reminds me a little bit of the H&K SL8.
(In fact, HERA Arms probably have the coolest SL8 accessories I’ve ever seen, almost wanting me to get one. However that design is pretty far from the pictures above, and makes the SL8 look more like the Magpul Masada rifle.)
I know, nobody likes or prefers pistol grips that are integrated in the stock, but all in all I think the HERA Arms design is pretty successful.
What do you think of the design? Light the comments section up below with your input.
At the moment there is no pricing, and the parts are being setup for production.

In regards to California laws, just take common sense and throw it out the window. Just think about all the stupid, ridiculous memes you find on the internet about liberals and our legislators live up to them. I'm not even kidding you. That joke,"Dumbfuckistan"? It was written for our legislators. One just need to watch the YouTube video about Kevin DeLeon and his Ghost Gun rant to know no more about it. Or just read about the "Microstamping" law that the Herr Attorney General Kamala Harris was so kind to put in place but then turn right around and violate the following year by allowing the P1 for sale which did NOT have microstamping. It is my sincerest hope that President Elect Trump comes to this state and teaches the "leadership" here how to read.
The question I have is this:
If I move out of California, am I able to cut that part out?
Plus is the forward grip being considered the same as a vertical forward grip?
It probably would have been cost effective to sell a removable kydex wrap with it to California, that way if the product does move well in California, it could be redirected and sold elsewhere.
