Here's the definition of a pistol 'assault weapon':
Semi-automatic pistols with detachable magazines and two or more of the following:

* Magazine that attaches outside the pistol grip
* Threaded barrel to attach barrel extender, flash suppressor, handgrip, or suppressor
* Barrel shroud that can be used as a hand-hold
* Unloaded weight of 50 oz (1.4 kg) or more
* A semi-automatic version of an automatic firearm

well it looks like it only has 1 of those features, the threaded barrel.
-magazine attaches inside the pistol grip, not outside(tec-9). so the AWB doesnt apply to this pistol, correct?

hence why you cant have anything cool on a Keltec 5.56 pistol [frown]
 
A tac should be OK because it weighs far less than 50 ounces. Even the MK23 with the FH on it is still less than 50 ounces, as the MK23 only weighs about as much as a typical 1911 does.

You'd only ever run into a problem with this legally if you were putting an FH on something like a desert eagle.

The Kel-Tec PLR-16 is "illegal by default" in MA anyways, so it doesn't matter. It weighs more than 50 ounces, and has a forward magazine well. (At least if the manuf specs of 3.21 lbs unloaded is correct).

ETA: For all I know it might be possible to hack some material out of the gun to make it pass, but that'd look pretty
hairy.
