FAQ

Is the Wilson Combat Protector Carbine fully California compliant?

Yes, this model is specifically built for California compliance. It comes with a fixed 10-round magazine and a Strike Industries Featureless Grip, meeting the state’s requirements for a fixed magazine and no pistol grip. The 16.25-inch barrel also meets minimum length requirements.

What caliber is this carbine chambered in?

It is chambered in 300 Blackout, a versatile cartridge that works well for both supersonic and subsonic loads, making it ideal for hunting, home defense, and target shooting.

Can I change the fixed magazine to a detachable one?

The fixed magazine is part of the CA compliance package. If you live outside California or laws change, you can convert it to a standard lower receiver with a detachable magazine, but that would require replacing the lower or modifying the setup.

What is the barrel twist rate?

The barrel has a 1:7 twist rate, optimized for stabilizing heavier 300 Blackout bullets (typically 150-220 grains) for better accuracy with subsonic loads.

Does this carbine come with a warranty?

Wilson Combat offers a limited lifetime warranty on their firearms, covering defects in materials and workmanship. Check with the manufacturer for full details.
