Franklin Armory CA11 Pistol .300 Blackout 10rd Magazine 11.5″ Barrel Black CA Approved

Franklin Armory's CA11 is a bolt-action .300 Blackout AR-pistol built specifically for California compliance — DOJ Roster listed, 10-round Magpul magazine, 11.5" barrel, and a Salus lower with CA Trigger. It draws buyers who want the AR-pistol format without the legal headaches, and TacticCAL stocks it for exactly that buyer.

AR-Pistol Format, California-Ready from the Ground Up

The CA11 isn't a standard AR-pistol with compliance parts bolted on — Franklin Armory engineered the Salus lower and CA Trigger as the foundation. That matters to buyers who want a short-format .300 Blackout platform they can own and use in California without modification. The bolt-action repeater configuration, foam cheek pad buffer tube, ERGO Ambi Sure Grip, and Triumvir muzzle device are all spec'd from the factory. The 11.5" medium contour barrel with 1:8" twist handles .300 Blackout at the platform's intended range. Optic-ready sights leave the top rail open for a Holosun or Trijicon red dot, which most buyers add early. Roster listed on the CA DOJ Approved Handgun roster.

Frequently asked questions

Why bolt-action instead of semi-auto on the CA11 — what's the practical tradeoff?

The bolt-action repeater configuration is what allows this AR-pistol to meet California roster requirements. Functionally it cycles deliberately rather than automatically. For most intended uses — range work, home defense positioning, suppressor-host roles — the tradeoff is workable and legally clean.

What optic fits this platform and what should I plan for during the 10-day wait?

The CA11 ships optic-ready, so the wait period is a good time to select a compact red dot — Holosun and Trijicon both have compatible options. Also source .300 Blackout ammunition, a CA-compliant locked transport container, and a secure storage solution if children are present in the home.

Does the included magazine count toward California's 10-round limit?

Yes. The CA11 ships with a Magpul 10-round magazine, which is California-compliant. No modification or substitution is needed. Replacement Magpul magazines in the same capacity are available if you want a spare before your first range session.
