Ma has all kinds of crazy regs when it comes to ar pistols. IIRC you can't have anything on the barrel that even resembles a hand guard. I think the law words it like, any device designed to protect from heat... or act as a grip... Originally I wanted to build an ar pistol before a rifle just because I think it would be funny to carry one on a sling under my coat... lol But then I started looking at the restrictions here and realized it would just be an ugly bastardized version of an otherwise sweet platform.
I guess I could buy a SBR assembly except for a BCG then just leave the the 2 halves apart while waiting on the form 4. Without owning a BCG I should be covered on not having "a collection of parts that could be assembled blah, blah..."

As for "when I get to NH". Though I love the state and canoe there every year, I'm getting the **** out of NE all together. NC, SC and TX are on the table. It is prob. going to end up being SC since the wife has family there. I would prefer TX or UT, the wife wants nothing to do with UT, but I would rather move sooner than later and TX is way more expensive of a move. So one step at a time I guess...
