Yes. Meet up, then EFA10, then unmeet.

If it was purchased in Mass yes it was registered. go sell it. If it’s not registered, say it was purchased in NH and you never registered it, shouldn’t be hard to sell it without efa10. Not that I would of course, but you know, somebody would buy it.
The prosecution are always first up to make their case against the defendant. It's up to them to prove you have an illegal firearm. They have to prove their case or there is no case.

Did this MA AWB "enforcement notice" get yet another rehash?
"If a weapon, as manufactured or originally assembled, is a Copy or Duplicate under one or both of the applicable tests, it remains a prohibited Assault weapon even if it is altered by the seller. Therefore, a Copy or Duplicate will be treated as an Assault weapon even if it is altered, for example, by pinning the folding or telescoping stock in a fixed position, by removing the pistol grip, by removing a bayonet mount or flash suppressor, or by preventing the weapon from accepting a detachable magazine.
Purely cosmetic similarities to an Enumerated Weapon, such as finish, appearance, or shape of the stock, or appearance or shape of the rail, will not be treated as relevant to a determination of whether a weapon is a Copy or Duplicate."
Appearance or shape of the rail? Who's writing this crap?

Am I misunderstanding this or are AR lowers with a pinned mag gone too?

Citation please? Was this a newly released press conference or memo? I haven't been watching TV lately to learn what the latest new "laws" are?

Ah, partof her everything after 1994 is illegal edict! Something I totally ignore and subject of numerous lawsuits.
Leave’s one to determine if the pinned mag AR’s versus any other AR with evil features are any different in the eyes of the law. Would you feel comfortable with one or the other on the range? In my estimations it seems pointless to own one over the other. That’s my grumbling......

The LAW doesn't require pinned mags to be legal. The AG rants are NOT LAW!!!!!!
I know and you know but say a leo or other authority doesn’t know. How will that play out? Yes, you may not ever be prosecuted but will it cause some trouble and time lost to have to surrender the pinned mag build for a brief period? And then what else could happen next in this state? I’m playing devils advocate here.

OK, what makes you think that almost any LEO can tell when an AR/AK was made from merely looking at it from a distance?
If you are that paranoid, hide all your guns and never bring any to a range . . . after all they may think you stole them too.
For me, my AR and AK go to the range to teach and if I'm planning on shooting rifle. Nobody has ever questioned vintage or asked to look at it unless they only wanted to shoot it. And BR&P literally has hundreds of LEO members, people shoot their ARs all the time there and nobody has hassled anyone for proof of mfg date. I have fairly close ties to the LE community and local police have no interest in Maura's pronouncements.
But feel free to hide if you don't believe this.

There will be no test case, the AG knows that would likely lead to her made-up edicts being invalidated.

Well, If you WERE prosecuted, it would suck for you and MOOORA. You would lose a lot of time and money, she would get exposed for the sham she is.
DO IT!

Yes, it is the DOB of the receiver that is used to determine true pre-ban (per the expired Fed Law).

like plasic surgery, getting the outside done doesn't mean you can change your birthdate.

No, because you're still not supposed to own them, so if you register one you're sort of admitting ownership. So . . .
Just remember, the last thing she wants to do is prosecute someone over this and shine light on her wrongdoings.

Build it up and register the gun when finished. Shoot it, enjoy and stop worrying.
