Hi guys,

As some of you may know, I live in liberal heaven, Massachusetts. This state has some very strict laws that determine how many rounds we have in a magazine (other than pre-ban mags), we have to have fixed buttstocks of a certain length, etc. As much as I try to find reliable sources of information, I feel that I am left more confused than when I first started to look for answers. So hopefully someone here can help me with my dilemma.

I have an M&P Sport that I recently purchased, and I LOVE IT! I just exchanged the pistol grip yesterday with a magpul moe grip+ (latest add on) and it is night and day difference. I am interested in exchanging my OEM stock with a 3rd party stock but I am afraid of "breaking the law" here in MA. I have a few Magpul stocks I am interested in as well as these 2 below. I just want to know if I can actually use either of these in MA without encountering any issues.

THE ? MBA ? MODULAR BUTTSTOCK ASSEMBLY :: Luth-AR

?SKULLATON? / MBA-2 :: Luth-AR

Thank You
 
Seeing know one has an answer I will charm in and tell you, you can not put a collapsible stock on an AR in MA as it would make it illegal.

They cannot have a bayonet lug, flash hider, or collapsible stock. No post ban mags larger than 10 rounds.
 
I do have a pre ban mag, may get more. I decided to keep the OEM stock after the guys over at northeastershooters answered
 
There may be a loop hole here.

The Luth-AR is adjustable for Length of Pull (LOP), but it is not collapsible. If you were to install the stock, adjust the LOP to suit you, then remove the thumb wheel adjustments and replace them with bolts, you will have created a fixed stock. This will satisfy the law because it will require tools to adjust it. Thus it will be fixed.

Here in CA it is illegal to have a removable mag on a center-fire rifle (there's a lot more, but that's enough for this discussion). However, if the magazine is fixed, the gun is legal. The much ballyhooed "bullet button" turns the mag into a fixed magazine because it requires a tool to remove it. The same logic should work in MA.

Just a thought.
