Curious about whether this pistol would be MA OK with regards to the AWB.
Ruger® Mark IV™ 22/45™ Lite Rimfire Pistol Model 43924
Specifically, if it violates:
(ii) a threaded barrel capable of accepting a barrel extender, flash suppressor, forward handgrip, or silencer;
(iii) a shroud that is attached to, or partially or completely encircles, the barrel and that permits the shooter to hold the firearm with the nontrigger hand without being burned;
Particularly, whether or not this would be considered a "barrel shroud." It's blowback so that part won't move like, say, a Glock. Not sure how hot or not it would get. I don't think anyone would logically hold the pistol like that but it's probably doable. I don't "think" a pistol like this was what was in mind with the AWB (compared to say a TEC-9), but when I read the law, it sounds like it might be borderline.
Basically, I have a plain-Jane Mark III and a friend wants a 22 pistol. I have a suppressor sitting in NFA jail and I'm going to want a threaded 22 to use with it, so I was thinking of selling him my Mark III and then buying a pistol like this, but I still want to be able to bring it to MA (minus the suppressor of course) legally.
