Would it be legal in mass? I will one day leave this state and have a real suppressor, I am building an sbr and would like to do a sig mcx style in the handgaurd suppressor setup.
Not sure on the legality part but I do know the MCX virtus with that sig wider suppresser handguard and a real socom mini is pretty front heavy. The hand guard itself is a brick. I have both hand guards and prefer the stock hand guard over the one that flares wider for a suppresser because of weight.
"Faux" suppressors are dumb. When you have a real suppressor, you accept the ugliness and adverse effect on the handling of the gun to get some quiet. Adding ugliness and adversely affecting how the gun handles without the quiet is dumb.
