It's about threaded barrels not about anything that covers the threads. If it has threads it has threads no matter what is threaded on the threads. The idiots zeroed in on threads and nothing else. They are so F-up they don't even have any idea. Thread are threads, and it doesn't matter about anything else. I am not talking about if it will meet scrutiny it just the way these idiots wrote the law. They have no idea what they are even writing.
Does filing down the threads smooth make a barrel unthreaded?
Ship to UPS Store in Salem, NH. DoneYou will need to coordinate with a dealer. Sig will not sell this to Mass residents. There is a new release as well

That's potentially spoofable if you have a CC that will verify to an alternative address. I did that with multiple CCs in the early 2000s because i had to ship computer parts 1 town over (where i had rented space at a business address) numerous sellers would only ship to an address that verified with the CC issuer. You have to call your CC and get the other address on file with them for verification.
That would work turning down or filing off the threads will make it a non-threaded barrel. Because there will no longer be threads and no threads to install a device. Even though you could sweat fit a device it dosent matter it's about threads not the device that goes on the barrel
At that point just go to the sig store
Don't be shocked if they exert boxlike behavior on you though. This is the same store that had an infrared thermometer and wouldn't let you in during covid if you were a little " hot. "
The current law also says threaded barrel. It’s the nearly the same. Why are you interpreting it this way? We have 30+ years that shows a permanently attached device means it’s not a “flash suppressor or a threaded barrel designed to accommodate one”.
Assuming they don't rugsweep all the mass dealers are going to be done on like 10/22 at midnight. Listed glocks are not effectively blocked by any of this garbage. This was discussed elsewhere.
Depends on the vendor and/or your CC company I guess? When I shipped ammo and other stuff from Natchez shooters supply to the UPS Store, I put the UPS Store as my billing address and it went through.
Good point. I guess I was posting as more of a general PSA for those who don’t know about the UPS Store.
Change your billing address to the UPS store and then go paperless with the cc company?
I did the same for Midway and they called to verify the address
Interpret it as you like. Right now there is no guidance.
On a side note...
We also have the ATF guidance which says a permanently attached device is part of the barrel.
Yes I know. I don't think Massachusetts even cares what the ATF position on this is. Massachusetts feels they don't have to be in step with anything or anybody. They feel they can do what they please. As I stated before interpret anyway you want. I am certainly no authority on how the Massachusetts ledgeslature thinks or how they will ultimately interpret what they wrote in this law. I don't think they even know.
Because Massachusetts dosent care. They are so fixated on threaded barrel they have lost sight of everything else. They can't see the forest through the trees. Stupid and short sighted.
Thank you. Yes, I know how to get those guns.
I think the logic they will use is that if the pinned and welded device becomes part of the barrel thus negating the threaded barrel, and is used in the calculation of barrel length, so that the extending device becomes part of the barrel, then the threads on the device, which is part of the barrel, thus the threads are on part of the barrel as well.
I agree with this but also I'm simultaneously going to say that this issue will never be examined.
like there's a point of absurdity with this crap that is clearly detectable and once you go past that point you know it's never going to enter a court of law. Then again I kind of get it because they're stupid cases based off of shit like the Lacey act where dick self punching type bullshit actually ends up mattering but that's federal court and kind of a whole different ball game. Some typical mass DA isn't likely to turn an unusable threaded barrel into a capital crime. Especially not when a layperson can't tell how a device is attached to a rifle without a f***ing x-ray machine. It's not reasonable to assert that an average person would be able to know that there are actually threads under there or if it's just sweated on or if it's sleeved or if it's welded with a pin or some other bullshit. 
Except it's anyone's guess what these clowns were thinking or are thinking.
Or buy in person from SS store in Epping.
