Hey 84ta406,
Depends on the date of manufacture.
If Sept/1994 or later would be subject to the AW laws governing it being semi-automatic only.
If it does not have a bayonet lug, flash suppressor, grenade launcher mount or threaded barrel for such.
Then the Ag can determine if it copies an operation of or parts that an AW has making it therefore somehow a copy of an AW here in MA.
If you take out any part so it can not fire a round while it is here in MA then you are not a felon at this time due to it not being considered a firearm unless it is capable of firing a round of ammunition at the time of arrest. Or you admit or someone states they saw you firing said weapon. And if said weapon was manufactured after Sept/1994.
The AG said she will not prosecute if you acquired it before 7/20/2016.
Now if you are stopped and the rifle is capable of firing any town or state police agency can and most likely will prosecute you.
Now do understand why so many are outraged!
Yes I understand the outrage believe me! Luckily just looked, suffix code G- 1970
