Looks like post 98 Glocks are now 100% illegal!!!I can't find any info on this on the GOAL website or through a web search. Any more info on what that means?
The new guidance says if it's in the EFA-10 database it will be registered to you automatically. How is this going to work in practice with guns that have been sold out of state etc? There is no requirement to record this in any way. I guess more add-on charges to screw you with, or justification for an arrest and keeping you locked up.

I think that this is an hysterical interpretation by GOAL. Unfortunately, not the first, and likely not the last with respect to H.4885I can't find any info on this on the GOAL website or through a web search. Any more info on what that means?

Yep. GOAL being GOAL. I don't see the conspiracy and monumental threat, but maybe I just don't care anymore.
I don't think it was the intent to regulate use, but if you think some activist judge in MA won't point to that and say it means possession, you haven't been paying attention.
Judges in lower courts don't give a shit if they get overturned, in the meantime you get punished by the process or jail.

131M deals with firearms you are not allowed to possess
Section 123 deals with dealers only.
My interpretation would be a rental range would no longer be able to rent an off list gun.
If the state decides to interpret the "use in the commonwealth" phraseology as one can own off roster firearms but cannot use them, either for carry or range use, then that is a outright ban directly applicable to Heller's holdings. Further, we wouldn't need to go through federal courts as Canjura has already ruled on this broadly enough to indisputably cover this type of action.

Concur - the section directly calls out per section 123 which is only applicable to dealers.
However, there is ambiguity therefore while a stretch a DA could charge it and a lot of Mass judges would rubber stamp a charge for carrying an unapproved firearm.

A new thing I noticed - no more shipping of 80% lowers to Mass - noticed on 5D Tactical site.

This may be because 5D is a MA based company.

Or 80-lower.com just hasn't been gotten to yet - I notice they won't ship barreled uppers to Mass. Damn am I glad I got that LaRue upper a couple years back and that FN upper last summer.

Do you have a friend in NH, RI, or VT? Have it shipped to them. Remember, you aren't circumventing a law. You are just circumventing a companies policy.
If the credit card needs to have an address in a free state, go into your cc account via their web portal and change the billing address to your friends address.
Make the purchase with your cc with your friends address as both billing and shipping.
Once you receive the notice that the item has shipped, switch the address back to your MA address.
Pretty simple.
Are they? They still have their 508 number but google does say permanently closed. TBH, I don't really follow them.

I'd just give him the cash and have him/her/it order it.
