That is the ugliest AR I believe I have ever seen.And not counting sheiks or druglords maybe the uglist rifle ever.if I lived in Cali I would get a Mini-14 or an old school M-14 or heck even a lever action before I would get that.

At Bison, most of our customers come from Texas, Florida, and California, in that order. The guys in Cali mostly just use the “bullet button,” and one guy is even telling me that they expect their AWB to be history by summer.

Those are kinda embarrassing, but you know that. ๐ There’s a better – or at least prettier – way of doing it (over 200 pages of pictures anyhow) here: I just use a bullet button.
I kinda like this one, it cracks me up.

And I thought we had it bad here in MA

I use a monsterman grip on my california-legal AR, which is perhaps even uglier, though I prefer the ergonomics (and price) to the U-15 stock in Uncle’s link.
Bullet buttons are for people who care more about how their rifle looks than how it operates. Someday I might want to change magazines in a hurry ๐

Someone should probably explain what a bullet button is, so I’ll elect myself. The cali assualt weapons law says detachable mag + one evil feature = assault weapon (where a pistol grip is one of the evil features).
But a magazine release that requires a tool does not make a detachable magazine, so people have invented a mag release with a ring around the button so that your finger can’t press it. You use the tip of a bullet or a key or something else thinner than a finger to press the mag release.
Then, since there’s no detachable magazine according to the law, you can have all the evil features you want, including most importantly the pistol grip.

That’s what Californication looks like.

What stupidity. What an abomination of a rifle those ‘California legal’ ARs are.
And I now hear California is a ‘failed state’.
Figures.

Legally, you can only use ten round (or less) magazines with a “bullet button” AR.
“Pre-ban” higher capacity magazines are legal with U-15 stocked or Monsterman gripped ARs.
Don’t get me started on the rimfire rules . . .

Having handled an AR-15 with a U-15 stock (though never shot it), I would prefer to be handicapped by a bullet button than have to deal with that monstrosity. That firearm’s ergonomics were never set up for that kind of grip, and forcing the situation is a losing proposition for all parties involved – with the version I tried, the trigger was too far away, the grip involved 90-degree edges rubbing on uncomfortable portions of my hand, and the entire arrangement left me with a very unsecure feeling holding the firearm.
Sure, it is a workaround, and it probably does work… but that is far from a “solution”.

“The guys in Cali mostly just use the bullet button, and one guy is even telling me that they expect their AWB to be history by summer.”
PLEASE tell me there’s a news story or a court case that back that up.
We just have the federal style ban…but it STILL sucks, and I’d LOVE to see ours get struck down too.

I’m with you Linoge. The U-15 stocked gun I handled at a show was not fun to hold. I’ll stick with a regular pistol grip or a monster man grip.
