IZ 240 and Mass

[tk421991]

Just wondering if a Saiga IZ 240 (5.45x39, 5 or 10 round mags) is Mass-legal. I'll be taking it coyote hunting in Mass, and I just want to make sure I won't waste my money on a rifle that would be illegal to bring across the border.

What about one of these? It's a .223 with a removable wooden stock.

I found the GOAL page and it explains the Mass AWB much more clearly. It looks like a Saiga with a removable stock is Mass-ok.

I don't see what a "removable" stock has to do with it?

It wasn't so much the stock that confused me, but it was Mass' ban-by-name of the AK. I called GOAL today before I paid for the rifle, because I didn't want to throw away $650 and become a felon.

Actually it's pretty great that Mass has GOAL, and you can just call them with a somewhat stupid question. I might give a donation...
