Alright folks here it is again the usual how to build an AR15 that is MA compliant chat .... welcome to the grind.
I'm going to put this down as all assumptions for the time being but let me outline a few assumptions first that I want to get off my chest. Let's assume I was to purchase the following which is of course all legal to do in MA ...
1) Sig M400 Tread "Assembly Kit" meaning upper and lower receiver
2) Purchased from a reputable FFL who sold it as an assembly kit and it was derated as such
3) A nice 30 round magazine that is manufactured prior to the ban as evidenced by the same reputable FFL
How do I make it MA compliant because as soon as I hypothetically put the lower and the upper together and insert that magazine I have 1 week to register it with the state and in that hypothetical state it would be illegal therefore making me a terrifying felon!
The reason that it is illegal is the fact that this particular model would have a threaded barrel with a flash hider, a pistol grip and a telescopic stock and is capable of removing the magazine. Truly terrifying stuff if you ask me!
Now the main question, it's my understanding that there are 2 options which I have outlined below and I want to check if I'm correct in this;
1) PIN the magazine (10 rounds) which would automatically make it compliant and negate the need to remove anything else?
2) Keep the detachable magazine meaning I can use a 30 round mag however remove the flash hider and install a muzzle break that is pinned and/or welded, also pin the stock in position so it cannot be moved thus meaning the weapon now passes the test of the two features?
Follow up question to this is what would you do and why?
