Hello all,
I am currently looking to build an AR-10 in 308 or as a multical with 6.5. Now I have been digging through forums and laws in Massachusetts trying to find a straight answer. I have gone to countless gun shops and its rather inconclusive. Now heres the question due to the 2016 AWB which as im reading is truly a reiteration of the 94’ ban. From what i hear in order to have a mass compliant AR variation that being a non copycat of an AR-15 or AK-47 now especially with my caliber choice not being 5.56 and not being determined as an intermediate sized cartridge which is what ive seen “assault rifle” defined as. Does an AR-10 even fall under the catagory of a copycat as the AR-10 technically came prior to the AR-15 and the AR would be a different build in theory. So if i were to follow along with mass compliance i would need to have a fixed stock, fixed muzzle break in order to have an open magwell as i am thinking of going the 80% route. As well because the state determines that a collapsable stock and pistol grip are super deadly laser weapons can i kill two birds with one stone by getting a stock that takes the place of the pistol grip to therefore make it so that I wouldnt have to weld my muzzle device? all of this is what my research has lead to in the good chance that i am incorrect about anything please call me out as i need to know and i typed this out rather quick ill try to clarify anything that is misunderstood. i essentially want to build my own AR-10 and have an open mag well thats all but i dont want to get in trouble
