Thanks for the warning. I will go check my safe.Nobody in Mass has any SBR's either, so forget that.
no! you have to have been living in the state continuously for 10 years to own that stuff. the noble thing to do is have him join nes so he can karma the rifles to those of us who have the time in.Can he move any of the AR's to MA? What about the SBR's?
Trying to help a friend out. He lives in WA and is moving to MA next year. He has several AR's, some of which are SBR's (with stamps).

ETA2: If he plays by big kid rules BTW there's a well written nostrum that SBRs are not "assault weapons" under MGL... and thus don't require MA neutering, but this has never been really tested. I would trust it, but that's me, and my risk assessments are liable to be different from others.

The logic behind this is the illogic of MA law. Assault Weapon is defined in MGL 140 121 and mostly is a reference to USC 921 (a)(30) of 9/13/94. This has 3 clauses to cover rifle, pistol and shotgun. In MA a rifle is 16"+. A SBR is not a pistol under federal law. This would make a case for the AWB having no way to apply to an SBR the way MA and federal law are constructed.ETA2: If he plays by big kid rules BTW there's a well written nostrum that SBRs are not "assault weapons" under MGL... and thus don't require MA neutering, but this has never been really tested.
