I've searched through the forums but I can't seem to find an answer one way or another: do I have a snowball's chance in He11 of owning an FAL in Massachusetts?
Thanks for any info.
Yes - a permanently attached muzzle brake that's the wrong diameter for bayonets or rifle grenades, on a non-Para FAL will be just fine here. Preban mags are still easy to find, too. If you don't want to build that yourself, call DS Arms, and tell them you're looking for a MA legal FAL - they can build it, but it won't be cheap.
Or, if you don't mind a bare muzzle this DSA would work.
