I’m sure this has been discussed some already in various threads but thought it should be a thread of its own. I’m guessing there are a lot of people like me and by that I mean:
Own guns but never really got into AR-styled semi autos. Planned to get into them in next few years when they had the time to learn enough about them and the money. Want to spend money wisely before bill to hopefully grandfather in some rights we are about to lose.
I’ve see some suggestions like: Bite the bullet, max out the credit cards and drop $3k on a preban Colt or new Sig Spear. Other have said, buy lowers which could mean (complete lowers), stripped lowers or 80% lowers. I’ve been learning just a little on the subject to understand what that means. It’s hard because not everything you read online is relevant to Massachusetts buyers.
My fuzzy understanding is that in Mass you can buy a semiauto rifle with at most one “evil feature” for example a pistol grip as long as you fix the stock not to move and weld the muzzle break on. But I also heard that Healy declared once in a press conference that even this isn’t ok. So I believe some gun stores will sell you these restricted ARs and some will not as the actual law being somewhat of a gray area. Is that basically correct?
So what are people’s suggestions for someone who has say $600 to invest now in ensuring they can get into the AR-15 or AR-10 game later? Would buying say two stripped lowers be a reasonable thing to do?
