New CA compliant internal magazine AR from LWRC

We stopped by the LWRC booth and were fortunate enough to get to handle and photograph two guns that you’ll probably be hearing a lot more about this coming year. The first gun is a special magazine-less AR that’s designed to be legal in ban states like CA. Take a look at the shots in the gallery below, and you can get a good idea of how this thing works.

You pull down the box at the bottom, insert bullets into the bullet-shaped hole, and then shove the whole thing back up. It’s basically a non-detachable, reloadable “magazine” that you can get in either 7 or 10 round configurations, depending on your local laws.

The LWRC rep told me that CA is the company’s largest civilian market, so it’s clear that they’re not going to just let it go without a fight. This seems like a great idea, and while it pains me that all of my shooter friends in CA will have to jump through hoops like this, at least they’ll still have options.

LWRC has a patent pending on this device, but they’re hoping to license it widely. So those of you in CA might see this design crop up in a number of ARs in the coming year or so.

Hmm, I would have thought trying for stripper clips would have been the first idea.

I love it. Gun grabbers, in their infinite ignorance, try to regulate things that sound scary to them like "detachable" magazines, and the gun industry just turns around and fvcks it all up for them.

Can't stop progress!

Sad it had to come to that but still a neat idea.

I dunno what the other one was. If I had to guess, probably the 6.8 SPC one that someone else posted about.

I think the swell at the front of the upper is just so they can attach their proprietary rail. Looks like the swell serves the same function as a barrel nut or delta ring.

i thought pistol grips were a no-no in california?

This reminds me of back in the 70's when some kid choked to death on his Battlestar Galactica toy so they started making all future toys with missiles that only popped out, but didn't actually shoot out.

Basically, they turned the toy into a piece of $h1t because one kid did a stupid thing. I'm still pissed off about it.
