2025 MA-Compliant Semi-Auto Rifle Recommendations

Hi all,

I know MA has historically been restrictive on semi-auto rifles, and new gun legislation has passed recently that muddies my understanding further, so I'm hoping to gather recommendations from the community on semi-auto rifles that are MA-compliant (aside from pre-bans).

So far I know about the following:

  1. Ruger Mini-14

  2. Springfield M1A

  3. Fightlite SCR (is this still legal?)

  4. Sig MCX (still legal?)

I generally want to shoot 5.56 NATO out of the semi-auto, .308 would be fine too.

Any recs on firearms that are compliant appreciated! Also feel free to offer your opinions on any individual weapons.
