Smith & Wesson M&P15 Sport II CA Compliant .223 Remington/5.56 NATO Rifle

A: James, unfortunately it is not Massachusetts compliant Sir. Details under Rifles/Prohibited here : https://www.budsgunshop.com/feeds/state_reg/massachusetts_restrictions.pdf

A: sorry its still illegal in MA as a ar15 it is illegal in MA under the assault weapons ban https://www.budsgunshop.com/feeds/state_reg/massachusetts_restrictions.pdf

A: Rebecca, yes, there is a QD (Quick Detach) Sling Swivel Attachment Point (bottom of gas block). --- https://www.krollcorp.com/swfg12055le-m-p15-sport-ii-548.html

A: Correct.

A: Rebecca, the bottom of the front gas block (bottom of where the front Sight fits) has a hole for a quick detach sling mount - as an example : https://www.budsgunshop.com/product_info.php/products_id/77184/troy+pbs00bt00+quick+detach+w%2fswivel+black

A: Red-Dot would be great for fast acquisition of targets, and you can use any type that fits on a standard picatinny rail so you can just mount it right out of the box ... Anything from as low as $39.99 for a simple basic NCStar D4B, or $259.99 for the awesome Midas TSP3 Tubular Prism that is very small but with 3x magnification and numerous features & adjustments ... Both sold right here on Buds, both are highly rated, and I've owned both and agree ... BTW I love that Midas TSP3 since it gives me magnification & red/green dot in one small package (I used to have to buy a separate magnifier to install ahead of a separate red-dot years ago).

A: A perfect reddot that is a balance between not costing a fortune and being very rugged and reliable is the sig Romeo5 ot is on sale right now to for $99 (It won't let me link to the sight where its on sale, but this youtube video says it) It says the store name in the video description https://youtu.be/zUq0sZDR3Bs

A: If NY doesn't classify the finned pistol grip as a pistol grip you'd be good to go. It looks like I was incorrect according to this site a finned grip is not classified as a pistol grip, keeping you under the threshold for banned features, https://www.pewpewtactical.com/best-ar15-ak47-featureless-grips/ -------------- I would still verify with a local ffl just call them with a model number or upc code to verify.

A: James with the removable magazine and threaded barrel, it is not. With a pinned Magazine it would be NY legal. A pinned magazine NY legal example AR is here : https://www.dark-storm.com/new-york/

A: James, you are absolutely correct. The threaded barrel makes it illegal in NY. You want the non-threaded model 12001, currently out of stock at Bud's. Google that model and you can find it in stock, Bud's won't let me post the link.
