Minden, Nevada–based Franklin Armory will soon introduce a new firearms option for shooters trapped in California. The company says the new long gun for the Golden State will be neither “featureless” or “mag locked.” The Title 1™ will make its debut at the NASGW show tomorrow.
According to a company release, “The Franklin Armory Title 1™ was created for our friends behind enemy lines where the modern sporting rifle is neutered beyond comprehension. While fixed magazine and featureless platforms will continue to have their place, Title 1™ provides a full-feature option to the consumer in restrictive jurisdictions. It has a standard magazine release, and while it ships with a 10-round magazine, civilians can use legally acquired 30-round magazines with Title 1™.”
Franklin Armory further touts the Title 1:
- Because it is not a rifle, shotgun, or pistol, it can’t be defined as an Assault Weapon in CA
- Standard push button magazine release
- Usable with legally owned standard capacity magazines
- 3 points of contact including padded cheek weld
- Can be used with any flash hider or compensator
- 100% American made
Franklin Armory also makes the CA7, which the company calls “the only California Roster approved AR.”
