Legal or not ar

[mark schultz]

I saw some fixed magazine ar15s made by dark storm industries at Cape Gun Works recently. The salesman claimed it was legal in mass but I thought I'd get some more opinions. The looked ,Ike nice guns but of course are slow to reload. Any thoughts?

Just build or buy a MA compliant AR with no bayonet lug, fixed stock, and pin/soldered compensator. No need for fixed mag. Healey's edict isn't law.

There's a reason hundreds if not thousands of people have been doing this every year since 2017, including registering an FA-10 and literally nothing has happened. Because a press conference, a PDF, and an FAQ is not Mass General Law.

Don't buy a fixed mag AR do as daekken said above

I had my guns and license seized/revoked on some bullshit, one of which was an AR built/reg'd in like 2019/2020, got them all back no issue once my legal crap was resolved. I have to imagine if they were going to pursue anyone it would have been me given the situation and my dogshit luck

Sure the fixed mag guns are legal but you’re paying extra to punch yourself in the face. Detachable mag is far superior.

My Soul weeps at the thought of a fixed-mag AR... ~Enbloc

Like an intentionally crippled child that was once so full of promise...

Waiting for the courts to shake things up a bit before I settle for "current" mass compliant firearms.

Maura shops at CGW?
I knew there was a reason I didn’t like that place.

OP don’t buy into the fixed mag BS that some shops are peddling. They’re slowly inching back toward the letter of the law, those shops a year ago wouldn’t have sold you a fixed mag gun. AR pattern rifles are not illegal in massachusetts. You have to conform to some draconian rules about flash suppressors, threaded barrels and bayonet lugs (which few uppers even have anymore) but other than that it’s legal. Tons of people buy or build ar’s in MA every day.

So they came to you for something else? Only asking because I’ve been looking into building my first AR and I assumed if you register it, it will cause problems and you end up losing your stuff..

Without getting into pedantic debates about the use of the word register, plenty of people have filed eFA-10 on ARs without issue.

They are not showing up because you filed an FA-10.

Big shoutout to Neil Tassel

Wanted to make a public post to once again thank the great Neil Tassel. Last year I had a seizure while prepping for a range day and I had the audacity to not lock up my rifle in the 10 or so minutes between seizing and being rushed to the ER by ambulance (my landlord called 911 for me). The...

but long story short, I had a seizure while working on my AR, landlord called 911, emt told responding officer I had "guns everywhere" they tried to hit me with improper storage of a "high capacity" firearm yadda yadda

That’s good to hear, I’ve never owned and AR and as I’ve been looking to get one, I talked to a local shop and they made it seem like if I do get one and file the FA10 they would make sure to come and take all my shit.
