42! As in the secret to life, the universe and everything?No more so than any other modern cartridge revolver.
Can I assume conversion revolvers are illegal in Mass too?
Thank you
An original cartridge conversion revolver from the post-Civil War era would be an unregulated antique.
Legal Revolvers from that time frame would accept Black Powder only.
The only Antique Handguns that accept modern propellants, in cartridge form, and are not very expensive, are some early Nagants - to the best of my knowledge.
They would typically be Belgian and not Russian.
Under $1000 for usable examples.

I'm still looking for a reason why they'd be illegal in MA. This is the first I've ever heard of it. You should FA-10 it, but not have one?? What makes it different than a P80 or 1911 build????? You are buying a non-firearm set of parts and turning them into a firearm.

that I can't buy in Mass, the Roster really annoys me.

This.
Ruger makes a convertible Blackhawk revolver which are 100% legal to own/buy/sell here in MA. Am I missing something??

No!On the Roster = LEGAL.
That much is simple.
No!
On the roster means legal for a dealer to sell. Has no bearing on possession.
I think there is some different interpretations of "legal" being used here. Legal with a license, Legal without a license, Legal for a dealer to sell, Legal to possess.

Actually you are showing how confusing it really is. You list on the roster as including legal to buy, sell, own. But the roster only regulates selling by a dealer. An off roster gun is legal (with a license) to buy and own, and even to sell in a FtF.ON THE ROSTER: Legal to buy, Legal to own, Legal to sell = LEGAL (with appropriate LTC, of course).
It's not complicated.
Once you get Off Roster, that's when it gets difficult.
I'd still like to know what the attraction is of a Conversion.
