If i buy a stripped unregistered lower, built it up with a pistol buffer, and registered the lower as a pistol. can i do this? And put a 7.5 or 10.5 upper on it? Is this legal in Mass or am i way off?
thanks

You won't get it below the required weight.
A semi-automatic pistol that has an ability to accept a detachable magazine and has at least two of the following:
1. An ammunition magazine that attaches to the pistol outside of the pistol grip
2. A threaded barrel capable of accepting a barrel extender, flash suppressor, forward handgrip, or silencer
4. Manufactured weight of 50 ounces or more when the pistol in unloaded
5. A semi-automatic version of an automatic firearm

That's not strictly true, check out this link: https://www.bushmaster.com/electron.../Carbon 15 Model PDFs/C15 P21-P97 Pistols.pdf
The P97 (the lower one) is 46oz and was the AR pistol of choice in New Joyzee, where we had the same ban restrictions. You'll have to do some legwork to get the upper and have to settle for a composite lower, but it's absolutely doable.

The other choise is to have a 'fixed magazine'. The only problem with that is that no one in Mass has ever defined what a 'fixed magazine' is so its all about your level of comfort with legal issues.
you could also take out the gas system and make it non-semi auto. you would have to cylce the weapon manualy each shot but it would be 100% legal...

You can do it . But you basically need to make it a Swiss cheese lower . Or use a bushmaster carbon parts .
What about polymer. It's not like it needs to be indistructable...... go with an 80% polly lower that way you can just cut pieces off if you need to. But it's always going to look stupid In MA because you can't have a handguard on it. Atlas that's my understanding someone else can clarify.

...or get your Form 1 for an SBR and don't be a pussy.
Dont be a pu55y and ask the goverment for permision and pay an extra $200 tax... OR just do it in a way to bypass all the messed up rules... OR just do it and STFup...
Im waiting for my tax stamp. Just filed a week ago. Im building a 300 blkout 10.5. But i also wanted a pistol 556. Seems like alot of work. Im just goingto have to donaye another $200 to uncle sam and ask his permission again.

Ha, glad I'm not the only who saw irony in someone saying "don't be a pussy" in the same sentence as "you should pay the government a bullshit fee for no reason to own a firearm you should be able to own anyway."

Yup. So much irony that it was painful to read.

only way I'd do a at pistol is of it was a build with out the buffer system .

Engrave the lower and just build any upper you want . But hold on to the one that the stamp was written for .
Does that fall under the 'constructive purpose' crap? Or do you need a 'pistol' or SBR lower for every short barreled upper?

You can have one sbr lower and a bunch of different uppers .
