Bah you answered before my edit, they are more different than I realized. Unfortunatly the AG specifically enumerates that a weapon is a copy if the mag well and one other item (in this case the extractor) are similar. AFAIK the SU takes ar mags, and the extractor is interchangeable between the two firearms.
gun owners need to simply stop complying. Period.
We’re the innocents, she’s the criminal. That’s it!
Apparently not though:
Those two morons from Salem were found with a apparently loaded AR in the back seat, but according to media reports were not charged with possession of an assault weapon.
Holy crap there is a ton of tinfoil in this thread! Op if you find(found) an FFL that will sell it to you, grab it. Everyone has there own tolerance level, but I WILL not get caught up in the "what if" games. If I want it, I will buy it - period!
Gee I don't know..... portability?What difference does the folding stock feature make if the rifle does not function when it's folded?

And please.... Stop posting who is selling potentially banned items. Nobody knows WTF is legal anymore so lets not needlessly get anyone jammed up or get even more items added to the list.
AR-15 Extractors and extractor spring inserts will fit and work in the SU-16 bolt, so I guess that makes all SU-16 models verboten in MA, at least until the rules change again.Maura said:[h=3]Guidance:[/h]A weapon is a Copy or Duplicate and is therefore a prohibited Assault weapon if it meets one or both of the following tests and is 1) a semiautomatic rifle or handgun that was manufactured or subsequently configured with an ability to accept a detachable magazine, or 2) a semiautomatic shotgun.[SUP]3[/SUP]
If a weapon meets one of the above tests, it is a Copy or Duplicate (and therefore a prohibited Assault weapon), even if it is marketed as “state compliant” or “Massachusetts compliant.”
- Similarity Test: A weapon is a Copy or Duplicate if its internal functional components are substantially similar in construction and configuration to those of an Enumerated Weapon. Under this test, a weapon is a Copy or Duplicate, for example, if the operating system and firing mechanism of the weapon are based on or otherwise substantially similar to one of the Enumerated Weapons.
- Interchangeability Test: A weapon is a Copy or Duplicate if it has a receiver that is the same as or interchangeable with the receiver of an Enumerated Weapon. A receiver will be treated as the same as or interchangeable with the receiver on an Enumerated Weapon if it includes or accepts two or more operating components that are the same as or interchangeable with those of an Enumerated Weapon. Such operating components may include, but are not limited to: 1) the trigger assembly; 2) the bolt carrier or bolt carrier group; 3) the charging handle; 4) the extractor or extractor assembly; or 5) the magazine port.

I think I found my new car rifle. I need to double-check but looks like it's Connecticut legal with pinned stock. I guess folded will be my cup of tea.

Which is honestly, to me, the most odd part of the whole guidance. Why the hell does the extractor of all things matter? That's such a ridiculous stretch.

Ah, I see you've worked with BATFE beforeLovely. So if I walk down to my nearest Ace Hardware and get a bag of springs and dowel pins, I have a bag of assault weapon parts? Awesome.
