This . Laws can be confusing and it’s vague as well, we’ll sort of.No - He's giving you shit because that's what we do around here.
There's what's legal and what people believe is legal.
The "copies and duplicates" memo/press release did not change what is actually legal.
His "brain is breaking' because you stated a 80% fixed mag.
So you know that "ghost guns" are actually legal but don't understand that fixed mags aren't required unless you want a different evil feature.
He's having trouble understanding the disconnect and is being very polite by NES standards about how he states it.
Evil features #1 is pistol grip.That’s the part of the law that I was very confused about. The law states “
Semi-automatic rifles manufactured after 9/13/1994 with detachable magazines and two or more of the following features:
Semi-automatic pistols manufactured after 9/13/1994 with detachable magazines and two or more of the following:
- Folding or telescoping stock
- Pistol grip
- Bayonet mount
- Flash hider or threaded barrel designed to accommodate one
- Grenade launcher
- Magazine that attaches outside the pistol grip
- Threaded barrel to attach barrel extender, flash suppressor, handgrip, or suppressor
- Barrel shroud safety feature that prevents burns to the operator
- Unloaded weight of 50 oz (1.4 kg) or more
- A semi-automatic version of a fully automatic firearm “
I had the same reaction, lol.His "brain is breaking' because you stated a 80% fixed mag.
You have learned Lesson 1 already, you're ahead of the game.This . Laws can be confusing and it’s vague as well, we’ll sort of.
Do it! Share the build pics too. It would be cool to see it. The price of the ammo is not bad either.I loved my 9" 300 BO upper. Sold it because wanted to finance something else and at the time, subs were like $1.50/2 a round. Now that I can find 200 grain subs for under $1 now, I am having the urge to maybe put together another 300 BO upper.
Well I do have a pistol grip so I’d have to swap that out then.Evil features #1 is pistol grip.
So you can't have anything else on the list unless you don't have a removable magazine.
Not complicated.
200+ grain cast bullets for subs are around $0.20/each.I loved my 9" 300 BO upper. Sold it because wanted to finance something else and at the time, subs were like $1.50/2 a round. Now that I can find 200 grain subs for under $1 now, I am having the urge to maybe put together another 300 BO upper.
Good for you Golddiggie. Idk if I might buy maybe one day I’ll do the same. HopefullyAll of this talk about the stupid MA "laws" just makes me even MORE glad I moved out of that swamp over a decade ago now.
It happens. Even people that have been here for years have a hard time understanding the law.No actually. The state law I was not so sure about and decided to buy a fixed lower. Due to my ignorance I did not know the AR-15 fixed mag I bought was a .556. Not I didn’t ask. Yes I could have researched more but the AR-15 platform is unique which I like.
No not a troll account. I some times explain more than I need to. But no not a troll acc.Not sure if this is a troll account... New member and first post is about a 80% fixed mag AR.
Yes hence why I posted this. I will do some more research because I would like to get a 10 round mag and not worry about the law because I’m compliant to the law and I’m not doing anything illegal.It happens. Even people that have been here for years have a hard time understanding the law.
Even lawyers find it challenging.
The summary.
MA has an AWB - this is a law.
MA also has an INTERPRETATION of that law from the AG - this is NOT a law.
The interpretation has an FAQ and a "TEST". If the gun fails that test it is illegal, per the interpretation.
But the LAW does not say this. An interpretation is not LAW.
Food for thought -- Thousands of ARs have been sold in MA since the interpretation, the State has the FA10, yet no one has been arrested or gone to trial. At least no one has been able to share information of someone getting arrested for buying an AR.
That is as high level as I can explain it.
Provided you built a rifle, not a pistol, you get the pistol grip for free. If you wanted any additional enumerated feature, you'd need a fixed magazine.actually I don’t have to remove it because it says “Two” or more.
Or just buy some pre 94 30 round Stanag or polymer magazines IE Okay Industries, Adventure Line, Orlite, Parsons, Center Industries, Colt, LaBelle, Thermold, etc.Yes hence why I posted this. I will do some more research because I would like to get a 10 round mag and not worry about the law because I’m compliant to the law and I’m not doing anything illegal.
I think misunderstanding. AFAIK, DSI doesn’t offer 80% parts. OP bought a stripped lower with a fixed mag (4473, FFL, serialized, etc.).Not sure if this is a troll account... New member and first post is about a 80% fixed mag AR.
That’s right thanks for catching that. Lol I didn’t type that right.I think misunderstanding. AFAIK, DSI doesn’t offer 80% parts. OP bought a stripped lower with a fixed mag (4473, FFL, serialized, etc.).
I bought an upper separately for 10.5 inch. I don’t need additional features just the darn proper mag.Provided you built a rifle, not a pistol, you get the pistol grip for free. If you wanted any additional enumerated feature, you'd need a fixed magazine.
If you built a pistol, you'll need to fix the mag.
There's a lot of discussion of this in the AWB thread in the Mass Laws subforum

No problemThat’s right thanks for catching that. Lol I didn’t type that right.
