    Blackout Defense has announced that they now offer California-compliant compatibility.

    From its aerospace manufacturing roots, Arizona-based Blackout Defense has emerged in the last few years as an AR manufacturer striving for design innovation. From their Zero triggers to their barrel and receiver locking systems, to their hybrid muzzle device, Blackout endeavors to improve and refine components of the well-established AR-15 design. This has won them support from buyers in many parts of the country, but California shooters haven’t had an option for compliance with their state’s particular regulations – until now. In the following press release, the company announced that they are now offering a Cali-compliant option in their website’s custom rifle builder tool. Read more below.

    Phoenix, Arizona – Due to popular demand, Blackout Defense will begin building fixed magazine California-compliant rifles. Their rifle builder web page allows customers to fully customize a Blackout Defense rifle, and it now includes a fixed-magazine option specifically for California residents.

    “Our triggers and accessories have always pleased the California market, and we are thrilled to finally offer a complete rifle option to our California customers,” said Brooke Afshari, Owner & President. “We believe strongly in supporting the Second Amendment community by making options available within the bounds of the law even in restrictive states.”

    The California compliant maglock will come installed from the factory and is available for both the award-winning Quantum Mark 2 and Quantum DTL rifles. Blackout Defense’s rifles are also already compliant in Maryland, and readily may be made compliant in New Jersey. All Blackout Defense rifles ship with one state-compliant magazine.
