I've been looking through sale flyers at AK parts kits with the receiver torched and started wondering what the legality is of building an AK from one is here in Mass. I see ones like this Yugo Underfolder for $109.97
Now I know a folding stock is a no no here in Mass on a rifle like this, unless its pre-ban, which most of these kits probably are. If so ther are full wood stock kits avaialble too, but then theres the muzzle break, etc. etc. all the "bad" stuff for Massachusetts rifles.
I know I can get a Romanian AK at a shop for a little more than what i'd pay in the kit, receiver, and parts, not to mention the time building it. But being a collector and tinkerer I think it would be fun to build one.
Plus You can always get a Suomi M31 parts kit in 9mm for $19.97 by buying a kit from the first few pages of the flyer.
Have no idea what id do with a Finn sub machine gun with the receiver cut up except maybe build a dummy gun but it'd look pretty cool and would make for a hell of a Simo Hayha collection along with my Finn Mosins.
So, does anyone know what guideline there are for tinkering with these kits, be it AKs or sub guns? I'd love to get a semi auto receiver built for a sub gun. Is that possible?
