Q: What about 80% or “unfinished” lowers and receivers – possession, serialization, possession, building?
Does this mean that a "Private Build" - or when a person fully assembles an AR15 lower receiver into a working gun - is now illegal after August 1, 2024?
- Private builds for any firearm that would fall under the new semi-automatic Assault Style Firearm definitions are prohibited after August 1, 2024
- There is nothing in the new law that references 80% lowers, it simply refers to “unfinished” frames and receivers.
- All frames and/or receivers (unfinished or otherwise) that could be considered a copy or duplicate of an enumerated Assault Weapon must have been lawfully possessed and registered in Massachusetts on or before July 19, 2016.
- Any frames or receivers (unfinished or otherwise), not on the enumerated ban list, but meet the new features test must be possessed and registered in Massachusetts on or before August 1, 2024.
- Private builds for any firearm that would fall under the new semi-automatic Assault Style Firearm definitions are prohibited after August 1, 2024
