Quick sanity check here.

  • In MA...
  • Using a pre-ban lower...
  • If changing to a14.5 inch threaded barrel...

Does the comp/brake have to be permanently attached (pinned & soldered or welded) to meet the 16" min barrel length?

I think the answer is "yes", but want to double check.

Thanks,
 
Ban or preban has nothing to do with it. The NFA states that *all* rifles must have barrels at least 16" long, or be registered as short barrel rifles.
