Wow, good for your neighbor, even an LE who is exempt from the rules of the Assault Weapons Ban, he even is keeping his assault weapon less dangerous so if it got in the wrong hands, it'd still be a little less deadly. (That's what I call RESPONSIBLE GUN OWNERSHIP that some other forum members should take an example from
) I'd be careful and say that is a major No-No because that is against the AG's enforcement notice. (You can find it in the Boston Globe)FYI I am NOT a lawyer but if you want some good MA gun related advice, I'd reccomend visiting the MAGuns page on reddit.com! Have a great day and stay safe out there (we are in the middle of a pandemic btw)

So, I was talking to some of my local gun buddies at the range shooting our .40 Shields (with manual safties or a 10lb trigger pull) and we were thrilled to find out that Maura Healy is a big fan and frequent flyer at Kimball Farm Ice Cream right down the street from the mill in Littleton. I heard her favorite flavor was the lickety-split

Just buy it from him if you want it… if it goes soulth point the finger at him.. unless you think it’s a “sting”.
It’s likely illegal under healey fake redefinition…
If you’re worried about it why don’t you just shell out $500 more by a real legal firearm…a true preban.

@Guzzi don’t take offense to the boys around here… the sarcasm you’re probably picking up on is because when a new member asks a Newb question about the law or what’s legal in an Internet forum it tends to send up a bunch of red flags.
Here is some sound and sincere advice:
Go “Green” on the forum. By paying the modest fee for membership, you’ll avoid some of the heartache of being accused of being an Internet troll or fake account. Stick around a while, complete more than a few FTF transactions and join the community to earn a bit more credibility (and trust). In the process you’ll get a lot of those dumb Newb questions answered along the way.
Join Goal. They have excellent classes in MA firearms law. Educate yourself without the need to ask others… if you have kids you know how annoying it is when they ask you what time it is as they are literally standing next to a clock.
Consult a competent and qualified attorney in the relevant jurisdiction. I’m sure your neighbor is a fine fellow… probably great to have a beer with in the summer and let’s you borrow his lawn mower. But even the best LEOs dont command a mastery of the law, more of a ‘working knowledge.’ There is no way of you knowing his level of knowledge. Trust but verify, as with everything in life. When in doubt, pay a professional.
My opinion is irrelevant to your situation. You do you. Best of luck, hopefully you’ll consider sticking around. Happy holidays.

Wow we love to eat newbies alive here. What you describe sounds completely legal.
Yeah, and its pretty fricken annoying in what should be a more technical subforum and not the GD/OT forums.
Yes, the information could probably be found with a search. Maybe the OP doesn't know the specific search terms. Let's face it, Mass doesn't have a huge "gun culture" and the 87 brazillion Mass gun laws often obfuscates what are common federal laws.
What is wrong with someone popping in and asking a question that deserves a real simple answer. AFTER he gets that answer and replies is the time to start f***ing with him.
Having a thick skin is cool and all that, but deliberately being a cocksucker and driving away new members is not the way to keep a forum or the 2A community running and growing.

just don't tell your cell mate you're friends with someone in law enforcement.
My apologies if i opened up Pandora's box with my question. Neighbor has failing health, he's just getting rid of a bunch of stuff, offered this to me for $800. I just posted to get some info from those way more knowledgeable than myself. I tried reading the "law", but just got more confused. I guess I just want to ensure that if i do purchase it, there won't be a SWAT team knocking down my door once we hit enter on the transaction website. Thanks

sheesh..
Is neighbor licensed gun-owner ? Yes
Is price reasonable? definitely
does gun meet AWB? Yes (if not, make it AWB legal)
Do the deal before you start getting pings from NESers asking to buy it from your neighbor for $801.

You say he's your Massachusetts neighbor - are you a Mass resident?
Buy it, welcome to NES
Or driveway?

When you say that he pinned and welded the brake I'm going to make the assumption that he did so to make the barrel 16 inches long or longer.
I'm also assuming since you didn't say otherwise that this is a semi-automatic rifle, not full auto.
If these assumptions are correct, the firearm is NOT an NFA item.
Therefore it's legal to buy/sell under Federal law.
It's legal under published Massachusetts laws.
It's contrary to the Attorney Generals published opinion. Which isn't published law.
To legally transfer it to you, you have to have a Mass LTC, ('cause it's a large capacity firearm).

I'll buy it for 800 if you aren't comfortable buying it. I'll do you and your neighbor that favor

Great price, buy it and have fun. Do you know what make/model the gun is?
By the way, are you a fed or some sort of official? Asking for a friend.

Prayers for your dog.
Seriously if it’s neutered to ma standards you’re good to go.
