Cool thanks for letting me know. Ya I was going for a standard plane jane government frame.

One other thing, are the high capacity ones legal here?
Thanks,
Nick

The frame is legal if you meet/agree to their target and sporting only requirement.
Sept. 14, 1994.Any high capacity magazine has to be pre-ban regardless of the gun or frame. I can't remember the exact year, so I won't post it to avoid misinformation.
There is no such requirement in the law. Caspian or whoever might make you sign some kind of waiver but that's just ass covering crap on their part, and is completely and utterly meaningless. You can do whatever you want with that frame.

If by "their," you mean Caspian, there is nothing "legal" about any such "requirement."
First, a bare frame is not even a firearm under MA law. As has been discussed here MANY times, a frame does not even require an FA-10 unless and until it is built into a functioning firearm.
Second, any such manufacturer's "requirement" is a devoid of any legal significance. Unless and until a firearm is approved by the GCAB and placed on the Target Roster, it is not "target firearm" under MA law. Any "agreement" between the manufacturer and the purchaser is a waste of paper and an exercise in mental masturbation.
Third, as Caspian does not even make complete firearms, it cannot qualify for either the AFR or the Target Roster.
Note that the rosters control what a dealer may sell to MA residents; NOT what a gunsmith may build. The "agreement" in question is asinine on several levels.
Short story - order the frame of your choice and have it built into the gun of your choice* by the smith of your choice. So long as you duly file the FA-10 upon receipt of the completed gun and don't use post-ban, "large capacity" mags, the firearm will comply with MA law.
* Excepting full-auto, suppressed or "assault pistol" configurations, of course!
