New Converted Saiga In Massachusetts?


Recommended Posts

Is there anyplace in Massachusetts where I can buy a new converted Saiga?

 

I can buy the saiga sporter, not sure about the convert (SGL21).

 

Does the 922r conversion make the gun Massachusetts legal? I really dont want to buy a sporter and do the conversion, just want to buy it done.

I'm not sure, but I think MA's gun laws are similar to NY's gun laws. If so, the SGL21 is no-go, as it has a bayo-lug/accessible threads/flash hider.

 

As far as "Does the 922r conversion make the gun Massachusetts legal?"......it all depends on what was done during the conversion. In NY, we can't have under/side folders, telescoping stocks, bayo-lugs, accessible threads, or flash hiders (permanently attached brakes are OK). So if MA's laws are similar, then you can't either. But like I said, I'm not 100% sure they're the same. I do you know that you guys have similar "pre-ban" exemptions, like we do in NY.

 

I know we have at least a few MA members here. I can't think of who they are, off the top of my head. Hopefully, they'll see this thread.

The SGL21 comes with a US-made copy of the 74-type brake. It definitely reduces muzzle climb, but it's no flash hider.

 

That said, it doesn't really matter, since NY and Taxachusetts have all the other ridiculous restrictions, (good thing they ban bayo-lugs, that prevents all those bayonet murders that plague the rest of the country :rolleyes:), written into their unconstitutional "assault weapon" bans. I just wanted to clarify what type of muzzle device the SGL21 ships with.

 

I feel bad for you guys who live in "occupied territory". Living under federal firearms law(s) is bad enough.

Mass laws are kinda strange, I can buy a new AR15 with 30 round mags, but not new AK's. go figure.

No, it makes perfect sense. Taxachusetts is run by ignorant, elitist, Socialist douchebags whose arrogance knows no bounds. To these people, all guns are bad, but *gasp* "AK's" are pure evil. :eek::rolleyes:

 

Logic has absolutely nothing to do with it.

You sure about that? I thought Mass was the exact same, as far as mags go, as NY; anything over 10 rounds had to be pre-ban.

You're right. I read it wrong.

The SGL21 is no-go, as it has a bayo-lug/accessible threads/flash hider. If you want a pistol grip you cannot have a threaded barrel, flash hider or a bayo lug.

 

To my knowledge there are no gun smiths in MA that will do a conversion for you.

 

If you really want to just buy something go check out these two shops:

Four Seasons Firearms

Collector's Gallery Firearms

 

Both of those shops will have MA legal pre and post ban AKs wich I think you will be happy with.

 

North Shore Firearms had a good supply of pre-ban mil surp 30rd AK mags last time I was in there.

I am more than sure about some, maybe not all AR15's, Got 2 buddies that bought 1 Bushmaster/1 DPMS new with 30 round mags, also, I went to a local gun shop and negotiated for a new Bushmaster w/30 round mag. The price was $999, couldn't work out a better price so I left the can where it sat.

Not sure what the 922r means to States like "ASSACHUSETTS and NY", so, can someone explain.

 

It means the same as it does for the rest of the country. It's a federal regulation. So, you have to be compliant with that, and whatever MA's laws are.

Yup, 922 is Federal. We have a couple of extra things we need to look out for as was stated earlier. No bayo-lug, flash hider, folding stock. Also, mags can not exceed 30rds after conversion.

I am in Northeast MA if you would like a hand with the conversion, it really is easy. way better deal than a $500 WASR.

What law (Federal or MGL or asinine pronouncements from the MA AG) makes you think this? This would be a new one on me. I believe that the law is that EVERYTHING must be 10rds or less unless the magazine or feeding device is pre-ban. If the Mag or feeding device is pre-ban it can be as big as you want. This is one of the primary reasons to buy a AK in 7.62x39. I can walk into any number of shops and buy pre-ban mil surplus AK mags off the shelf. This is not the case for any other caliber AK.

hmm, shut me right up.

 

<lots of MA bullshit laws>

 

I stand corrected, I was told when I received my class A that 30 rd mags were high cap that was the max. Thanks for the correction.

 

LOL... You had me worried there for a sec. Living in MA you practically need a law degree to keep all the laws strait. I make it a point to keep myself informed but it is always possible to f-up. When I saw your post I thought about the pre-ban 40rd mags sitting in my safe and thought "WHAT!?!?"

Sigbear, double check your "new 30 round mags" that you got with your new AR in Mass. It's either most likely pre-ban, or that shop is handing out felonies to it's customers. I've got some pre-ban 30 round AR mags that are still in the wrapper. Hopefully, something like that, is what your local shop is including with the AR's they're selling.........and they're not actually new post-ban 30 round mags.
