FNS2000 rifles in MA?

[nanerclip]

I noticed that the FN PS90 is MA legal, is the FS2000 MA legal as well? I'm guessing that it's legal w/ threaded BBL and flash hider because of the lack of a "conspicuously protruding" pistol grip.

Edit to add: if it is legal, is it neutered in any way (fake FH perm attached, etc)?

Depends what shop you go to.

Some have no problems selling you this rifle, and others find it falls into the grey-area concerning our foolish AWB laws. The usual concern is that they are normally sold with 30rd mags included, and FN just swaps these out for 10rd mags when they ship to Massachusetts. Some dealers will only sell rifles that have a listed "Massachusetts compliant" version, as they fear selling anything other than that will jeopardize their license.

I would like to make it clear, that I'm not the authority on this subject. It's just what I have run into dealing with the purchasing of a FS2000.

Thanks, there's a shop near me that had a PS-90, I'll have to stop in and ask if he can order me an FS. Time to start saving my pennies!

Here is one.

$1950.00 + $20.00 shipped to your dealer.

I bought my PS90 and other things through them and they have been great. Takes about 2-3 days to get to your dealer.

Both are obtainable in MA. You can get the whole touchy feely experience over at Zero Hour Arms in Easton

There are no problems getting these guns in MA other than
the price. (which is the same everywhere- high!
I know FS transfers them in, because when I was there a couple
months ago I saw a guy getting a black one.

Four Seasons has a used one for sale. Might be worth checking out.

Completely legal as long as you don't add a bayonet lug or a postban mag.

Can't you just buy it in NH (or other bordering state) and just bring it in yourself as long as it meets the AWB criteria? It is a rifle afterall.

 

[vellnueve]

Yeah, but why do that when you can just buy it in MA? Many dealers carry it.

Someone might not want to pay the 5% tax on a $2000+ rifle.
Although you could still just transfer one in and dodge
the tax anyways.
