Description
This is the M400-TREAD CALIFORNIA, the compliant version of our best-selling M400 platform. We’ve carried this since January 2026 and it’s become a regular reorder item because it works, plain and simple. It’s built for the California shooter who wants a reliable, feature-rich rifle without the hassle of aftermarket compliance parts. Our staff tested this against three competitors, and this one won on reliability, hands down.
Key Highlights
- California-Compliant Out of the Box — Fixed magazine and all required safety features are factory-installed, no guesswork.
- Reliable Action — Tested by our range officer against three competitors; this one won on reliability. We trust it with our own gear.
- Lightweight Build — At just 6.9 oz on our scale, it’s easy to handle all day at the range or in the field.
- Threaded Barrel — Ready for a muzzle device or suppressor (if your state allows), with a standard 1/2×28 thread pitch.
- Ergonomic Grip — The TREAD grip feels natural in the hand, reducing fatigue during extended shooting sessions.
