Why the need for a “Compliant Rifle Grip”?

Per recent California law, centerfire AR-15 rifles with bullet buttons are now considered assault weapons and must be registered before June 30th, 2018. Converting your rifle to a “featureless” rifle will mean that you will NOT be required to register it as an assault weapon. A “featureless” rifle is a fully functional rifle without the generic characteristics (or features) that define an assault weapon (such as a pistol grip, flash suppressor, telescoping stock, etc.). A “featureless” centerfire AR-15 rifle CAN have a normal and fully functional magazine release. Our CRG-15 rifle grip does NOT meet the California definition of a pistol grip (see details below*) due to the “forced” placement of the web of the trigger hand; therefore, we have classified this product as a “Compliant Rifle Grip”. The CRG-15 grip is an important aspect in the building of a “featureless” rifle.

Why the CRG-15 Rifle Grip?

There are other options to eliminating the pistol grip on your rifle to make it compliant or “featureless”, but many of them are not comfortable or functional such as kydex grip wraps or grip fins. Many also don’t look very good, or are downright ugly! Others are very expensive and difficult to change back if you want to go shooting in another state. In contrast, our CRG-15 rifle grip is very affordable and only requires one screw to install. We also designed it to be as comfortable and functional as possible, while keeping consistent with the modern look of the AR-15 platform (it matches other premium furniture already on your rifle). We believe our CRG-15 rifle grip is the highest quality, the best value, the best looking, and the most comfortable “non-pistol” grip available... we hope you agree!

Disclaimer:

We are not lawyers, and this is not legal advice. This and similar products have not been approved by the California Department of Justice. Even so, our attorneys, Michel & Associates P.C., prepared an analysis of the CRG-15 rifle grip and wrote an opinion stating that it is not a “pistol grip that protrudes conspicuously beneath the action of the weapon,” as that term is used in the definition of an “assault weapon” under California Penal Code section 30515(a)(1).

*Definition per State of California’s “Assault Weapons Identification Guide”, 3rd Edition, November 2001, page 80: “Pistol Grip, conspicuously protruding: A grip that allows for a pistol style grasp in which the web of the trigger hand (between the thumb and index finger) can be placed below the top of the exposed portion of the trigger while firing.”

FYI the current pistol grip definition is still the same, but as of January 8th 2019, the current DOJ definitions for general "assault weapon" identification are found in the California Code of Regulations, Title 11, Division 5, Chapter 39 Assault Weapons and Large-Capacity Magazines, Article 2, § 5471

Shipping Lead Time Transparency

We always strive to ship the next business day, BUT sometimes there are delays due to unforeseen circumstances. Please see the map below to determine the approximate transit days for USPS from our location in Shingle Springs, CA (we do ship to other states too, but mostly within California). These are approximate transit days from USPS and are NOT guaranteed (USPS is good but not perfect). Please also note that USPS transit days are just the travel days and do not include our order processing time (in other words, the transit time DOES NOT start on the day you place your order). Thank you for your understanding while we do our best to get your order to you quickly.

If your weapon is not in compliance at this time, we would like to remind everyone that you CAN disassemble your AR rifle (completely separate the upper from the lower) if you are unable to convert it to featureless in time. Below is an excerpt out of the Quick Reference Guide from Michel & Associates.

"DISASSEMBLY: A firearm has to be assembled and functioning to be an AW. Consequently, disassembling the firearm, or removing a crucial part of the firearm that will prevent it from functioning, or even taking the upper receiver off from the lower receiver, should take the firearm out from under the “AW” definition. But once disassembled, the firearm can never be reassembled in California into a configuration that meets the definition of an “AW,” and you should never manifest the intent to reassemble the firearm in an “AW” configuration in California (never discuss your firearm or how it might be reassembled with anyone). CAUTION: If a firearm is lacking a non-essential part, like a magazine, or a part not required for the firearm to function, or if the firearm is disabled by a gun lock but can otherwise still function properly, it is NOT a “disassembled” firearm. The firearm would still be considered an “AW”."

Helpful Review Video

Here is a great review video from Joel at GunGuyTV. He really praises our safety after 4:40 and it is definitely worth a look if you are using ANY kind of featureless grip. Be sure to subscribe to his channel to keep up with 2A news in CA. It was brought to our attention that at 4:10 in this video Joel incorrectly states that there may be enough room for your thumb if you are using a fixed stock... there is NOT. Please read all the FAQ articles (see FAQ tab above) and specifically this one about fixed stocks. We do not want to mislead any customer about the pros and cons of featureless rifles or our grip. Please call or email if you have ANY questions, we are here for you and happy to help.
