What stock is that? I haven't seen that before, but I like it...classic rifle style, looks good. Do you like it better than the Thordsen?

Yes, I am using an FRS-15. It is fine with an ambi safety. I flip the safety off normally with my thumb, but can't reach far enough to put it back on so I use the trigger finger on the ambi safety to engage it. It seems a little heavy (not much, but heavier than the pistol grip and stock it replaced), but it is back at the shoulder so no biggy. I LOVE have a standard magazine release. I'm quite happy with it given my current location and CA's current laws.

As soon as CA's AWB is overturned (not holding my breath, but we can hope) or I escape this communist paradise the rifles will return to their original configuration (unless they get short barrels and/or cans ) and all these 10 round magazines will go in a box, but for the current situation I am happy with this solution.

Sounds like the Thordsen should be pretty good, then, but guess I might need to add the ambi safety because I don't have one. I am definitely looking forward to the standard mag release myself. For me, that's the big plus of going featureless. I try to keep my stuff more on the simple side anyway, so I'll be content.

Stock Shotgun Stock with an adapter to mount be exile machine.

Cool thanks! I'll consider this route, as well.

I suspect once people start getting arrested, it will speed up the move to the Supreme Court.

I knew guys back in the day that did not register their "AWs". One of them was actually jailed and went to trial for getting caught. He was finally released, but at a cost.

All of my long guns were purchased before the mandatory registration law in 2014 (all had no make or model listed on the DROS). As I posted earlier, my ARs are in free American right now, I will not risk getting my life thrown into turmoil until I move. My M1 Garand is my official battle rifle for now.

And before anyone says it, yes I DID move out of California, not just my property, but me as well.

Anyone actually use the FRS? How do you like it? I've watched reviews, but yet to handle one. Planning on getting to the LGS to see how it feels.

Hopefully one day I'll get out of Ca, but pretty well stuck for now.

I went FRS-15 years ago because I hated the bullet button. I prefer it because it's more similar to the traditional stocks I learned on and you can drop a magazine without going through unsafe contortions required with the button.

The FRS-15 allows control with one hand, unlike the grip wrap options. It's defiantly not a looker, though.

It real easy to drop a magazine with the Bullet Button Magazine release using these.
All my magazines are these.If you notice there is a small nub on the Ranger Bottom plate.
They also sell the little nubs in kits you can install them yourself.
