Bring me up to speed, about building my own AR-15 in MA? And why can we buy similar rifles but not the copies of an AR how does that work.....

[Keven]

Hi all, I am trapped in the commie state of Mass and looking to buy but not sure I want a sig speer LT type, and would like to build my own AR copy from a stripped down lower so I have a few questions like how the hell is the sig speer on shelves but not AR copies here in Mass?!!? Secondly what is the "gray area" to buying a stripped down lower and building a complaint version and submitting all the proper forms? Can some someone please explain this process? Thanks

Hi, Maura!

There are like forty threads about this...

Buy stripped lower.
Buy all the parts that attach to stripped lower.
Attach all the parts to stripped lower.
File an EFA-10 within a week of completion.

Would that include, say, a pinned and welded barrel? Or unthreaded barrel? How about an adjustable stock? Brace? 30 round standard capacity magazine?

Such a fountain of knowledge

I don’t trust Kevins without an I in their name

 

[walter62]

It's mostly about 'evil features'. You can have an AR but you cannot have
1. adjustable stock
2. non pin-weld'd barrel
3. shorter than 16" barrel (unless SBR)
4. bayonet mount
5. > 10round magazines

So, as Mr. Picton indicated, you purchase the lower (which is the only part the ATF/Feds serialize),
buy all the other parts, assemble. Have the stock & barrel 'fixed' and then eFA10 the mess once
you finish assembling.

So if I buy a Sig Speer would the state know? BUT by filling out a EFA10 they would, am I correct?

 

[Keven]

and I did not know Lake Trout could type ......

Hi Andrea.

If you're interested in buying it legally? Yes, they would know. Because any lawful transfer of non-antique firearms needs that EFA10.

Op just start with five rifles and save 2 months of your time. Don't forget lr308 as well!

You got one for sale illegally? I'm listening

OK so its the Feds that might not know then maybe? Unless the state shares the info?

 

[Picton]

Now you're getting creepy.

Why on earth would you ask that? You have FAR less to fear from the Feds than from the Commonwealth.

Oh GOD! sorry Maura!

Run under the assumption the feds already know everything. it makes life easier.

 

[Picton]

Oh GOD! sorry Maura!

Hint:

"Gun show loophole."

That's what you're asking about. Look it up.

sorry to hear that because now the anglers are tracking every hole you swim to hopefully you de-googled it, and junk

I had no idea ..... but all this crap is bs you know it and I do based on our 2A rights except we have screwed up state laws that make it all very very confusing

What are your pronouns?

the Feds are probably trying to figure out mass laws still, but I get your point.

Well, yes. That's why I said...

I know I sound all flippant 'n' shit, but I'm actually giving you useful answers. The same answers you'd get from about forty other threads, though, it must be said...

Yeah. I think I've posted it at least 39 times, in various places.
