[lutstribe]

Apparently bc of the new law in Massachusetts you can't buy threaded barrel lol. I have the echelon love it. Its a great tool. Hopefully we will see if the shush bill passes next year.

Huh?

A threaded barrel on this is one feature. Find a better vendor.

(b) a semiautomatic pistol with the capacity to accept a detachable feeding device and includes at least 2 of the following features: (i) the capacity to accept a feeding device that attaches to the pistol outside of the pistol grip; (ii) a second handgrip or a protruding grip that can be held by the non-trigger hand; (iii) a threaded barrel capable of accepting a flash suppressor, forward handgrip or silencer; or (iv) a shroud that encircles either all or part of the barrel designed to shield the bearer’s hand from heat, excluding a slide that encloses the barrel.

I agree with MAJoe

147 be held by the non-trigger hand; (iv) a threaded barrel designed to accommodate a flash
148 suppressor or muzzle break or similar feature; or (v) a shroud that encircles either all or part of
149 the barrel designed to shield the bearer’s hand from heat, excluding a slide that encloses the
150 barrel.

Any pistol with a threaded barrel was considered an assault weapon in CT for a while now. Didn't MA just recently copy their law?

Proposed bill HR8306 (aka "SHUSH Act") doesn't quite go far enough to help with the mass law:

Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, a law of a State or a political subdivision of a State that, as a condition of lawfully making, transferring, using, possessing, or transporting a firearm silencer in or affecting interstate or foreign commerce, imposes a tax on any such conduct, or a marking, recordkeeping or registration requirement with respect to the firearm silencer, shall have no force or effect.

MGL c.269 § 10A is not a tax, marking, recordkeeping, or registration requirement.

No, a pistol needs two features.
Threaded barrel is only one.

And if the firearm was legally possessed in Mass on 8/1/24, then it is exempt so even if the threaded barrel was an issue on a new gun, it's fine for anything exempted

Just one more law that makes life difficult for gun owners and does nothing about crime or screwballs. This bullshit never ends.
