This could be a real benefit to the small mfgs (Littleton), they can easily build MA compliant rifles. There is no reason they couldn't buy complete stripped lowers (sub out the production work) and then assemble complete compliant rifles. They wouldn't even need their own machining equipment. The small scale would increase the price a little, but stay away from the low end market should help.
You are conflating the issues here a bit. First off the AW ban/healey proclamation is still all bullshit and rifles that are made compliant should all still be legit. There are some folks that have bravely shirked the bullshit with compliant AR style builds, but the issue that most shops don't want to stick their neck out for (which is completely understandable). This would not have been an issue with the MCX (especially the second generation) because this is NOT an AR-15 spec rifle but but since it was THE MODEL that the Demauragoron used to pull her audition stunt for Hillary's AG and the fact that they dont actually care/understand mechanical realities/facts.
As I said at the beginning of the thread, all of this is really moot with the later MCX generations lack almost all compatibility with AR-15 lowers and parts . In the current generation the MCX is as similiar to an AR as it is to an ACR. Infact the ACR is MORE similar in the sense that it accepts most AR trigger groups and Ar barrels and this is a model that is sold in the massified configs with no problems.
The fact that the MPX is acceptable, but the MCX is not, is evidence of this clear double standard (no standard) as their qualification, to my understanding, the two rifle operate in a mechanically similar fashion.
I would love an MCX also, but the thought of being limited to 10 round mags without a preban option is a total buzzkill for he utility of the platform for such a high price.
