All Rifles
All semi-automatic rifles sold within Massachusetts to Massachusetts Licensees must comply with the H.4885 legislation!
We are a federally licensed manufacturer of firearms, which means we can do some limited compliance work for certain Semi-Auto Rifles.
You will also see rifles here that are available for dealers or individuals who live out of state. We are happy to ship to your local FFL!
ATTENTION: As of 10/2/2024 with the passing of H.4885 the following applies:
Section 121 of H.4885:
Any semiautomatic rifle will be considered an “Assault-style firearm” if:
1) It is a centerfire rifle with the capacity to accept a detachable feeding device and includes at least 2 of the following features:
(i) a folding or telescopic stock;
(ii) a thumbhole stock or pistol grip;
(iii) a forward grip or second handgrip or protruding grip that can be held by the non-trigger hand;
(iv) a threaded barrel designed to accommodate a flash suppressor or muzzle break or similar feature; or
(v) 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.
2) Any firearm listed on the assault-style firearm roster pursuant to section 128A.
3) Any of the following firearms, or copies or duplicates of these firearms, of any caliber, identified as:
(i) Avtomat Kalashnikov, or AK, all models;

(viii) INTRATEC TEC-9, TEC-DC9 and TEC-22; and
4) A copy or duplicate of any firearm meeting the standards of or enumerated in clauses 2 and 3; provided, that for the purposes of this subsection, “copy or duplicate” shall mean a firearm:
(A) that was manufactured or subsequently configured with an ability to accept a detachable magazine; and
(B) (i) that has internal functional components that are substantially similar in construction and configuration to those of an enumerated firearm in clauses 2 and 3; or
(ii) that has a receiver that is the same as or interchangeable with the receiver of an enumerated firearm in said clauses 2 and 3; provided further, that the firearm shall not be considered a copy or duplicate of a firearm identified in clauses 2 and 3 if sold, owned and registered prior to July 20, 2016
Section 128A of H.4885: A bona fide collector of firearms (O3 FFL) may purchase a firearm that was not previously owned or registered in the commonwealth from a dealer licensed under section 122 if it is a curio or relic firearm as defined in section 121.
Section 121 of H.4885: “Curio or relic firearms”, firearms which are of special interest to collectors because they possess some qualities not ordinarily associated with firearms intended for sporting use or as offensive or defensive firearms.
Federally, to be recognized as C&R items, firearms must fall within one of the following categories:
- Firearms which were manufactured at least 50 years prior to the current date, but not including replicas of such firearms;
- Firearms which are certified by the curator of a municipal, state, or federal museum which exhibits firearms to be curios or relics of museum interest; and
- Any other firearms which derive a substantial part of their monetary value from the fact that they are novel, rare, bizarre, or because of their association with some historical figure, period, or event.
Additionally, Section 131M. of the law:
(a) No person shall possess, own, offer for sale, sell or otherwise transfer in the commonwealth or import into the commonwealth an assault-style firearm, or a large capacity feeding device.
(b) Subsection (a) shall not apply to an assault-style firearm lawfully possessed within the commonwealth on August 1, 2024, by an owner in possession of a license to carry issued under section 131 or by a holder of a license to sell under section 122; provided, that the assault-style firearm shall be registered in accordance with section 121B and serialized in accordance with section 121C.
Finally, since all firearms sold in MA must now be on approved rosters, and there are none available for long guns, The Commonwealth of Massachusetts Executive Office of Public Safety and Security has stated that under the Act and 501 CMR 7.00, dealers may continue to sell shotguns and rifles so long as they are not otherwise prohibited in Massachusetts, pending further guidance from the Firearms Control Advisory Board.
If a gun does not meet these requirements, we will not sell it to a MA resident, sorry. Give us a call if you have any questions.
