I endeavor to build my own AR from parts. I'm a confused AR newbie with a question about MA compliance.
Is it true that I could order say an upper from LMT that has the evil features such as bayo lug and flash suppressor and have it shipped to my MA residence since the upper is not considered 'the gun'? This would be perfectly legal, yes?
Or can you not get an upper shipped to MA with those features?
However, once I mate that with a lower the 'gun' is now non MA compliant and I cannot register it as I am supposed to do, correct? Or since you have to register the lower when bought / sent to an FFL, you do not need to do anything once you mate upper and lower...?
If this is true there must be many non MA compliant guns in peoples safes at home...
