Think I was sold a Mass non-compliance firearm.

bahhhhh bahhhhhh bahhhhhh goes the sheep

Bwahahahahahahahaha goes the NES members.

Great thread. We're grumpy. We're liberal hating. (Well, OK.) Window lickers. Lesbians. Price gougers. And those were only the ones I guffawed at.


I have truly been surprised at times what guns are available at what shops. I recall one new-ish shop that was plugging the G43 at the Plymouth show one Spring. "Uhhh, you're going to have G43's??" "Oh yeah!" OH NOES is what I thought. LOL. I believe they got a talking-to.

But the onus is on the dealer. I have a couple of non-compliant guns in my arsenal bought from FFL's. Every time I asked them, "This is for sale here?" "Oh yeah!" is the response I got. Bokay!

Have any of you window-lickers ever stopped to consider that a firearm might not be compliant with the regulations of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts because that firearm is patently unsafe, as evidenced by its lack of certain safety features? I'm shocked and appalled that anyone would even want a gun that our state government officials hadn't blessed. Even if I didn't live in Massachusetts I would screen all my future firearm purchases through the MA list (lists?) to make absolutely certain that I wasn't buying an accident waiting to happen. Hell, I even modified my great grandfather's WWI-issued 1911 modified to include a loaded chamber indicator. If the Commonwealth says it's critically important who the hell am I to question it?

Same here. I even engraved the end of a revolver barrel "Caution. the bullet comes out here". Jack.

This couldn't possibly be sarcasm, could it?

Took me a couple reads, but I think it was sarcasm done almost too well.

I like my guns like I like my women; dangerous and lightly oiled.

That was my master plan: to get the actual answer to my question in the first 3 posts then give the rest of you a 3 page yuk-a-thon.

I agree. I'm even Massifying my Crosman air rifle.
