Hi guys,
Long time lurker, first time poster. I got my LTC in MA last May and due to recent unfortunate events, now is looking like the time to buy.
Specifically, I was looking for a tier 1 AR-15. I had decided on the Colt LE6920 (I know it isn't MA compliant, but knew the shop could make it) and went to the closest shop and they told me they could not even order it. I then mentioned the Colt MT6400 (MA compliant as far as I know) and they said they couldn't order that one either. They told me I would have to buy it (either one) in RI and have it shipped to them, where they would modify it as needed and then release it to me.
So next I went to a RI shop, and explained to them what I was told. They said there should be no reason a shop in MA can't get the MT6400. So next I called another MA shop, and they told me they can't order anything from Colt either.
It this legatimate, or is it true that MA shops can't get anything from Colt? Both times the sales person told me no without even looking at the weapon specifics.
This has taken a while to go though this as I am busy with work, and during this time, it looks like the AR-15 market dried up.
So at this point, does anyone know of a MA compliant tier 1 AR-15 I can get when supplies start moving again? MT6400 should be getable, but isn't so I don't want to assume anything.
Thank you.
