One certain solution is to remove the gas block to make it a slide pull action or change the LRHO to make it a penultimater action. If it ain't semi then it ain't MSSA.

An open bolt conversion will fly for, oh, about as long as it takes Joe and Co to change this:

Military style semi*automatic firearm means—
(a) A firearm which, after being loaded, fires, ejects, and
chambers a cartridge with each pull of the trigger;

To this

Military style semi*automatic firearm means—
(a) A firearm which, after being loaded, fires, ejects, and
chambers, or chambers, fires and ejects, a cartridge with each pull of the trigger

Admittedly that could be quite some time but is such a conversion really worth the cost and effort...
I doubt it.

Looks like you have not read the new arms amendment act. 'Semiautomatic' has a new meaning as from December.

Meh. Which can just as simply be modified thus:

“semi-automatic firearm means a firearm that (if it is loaded), with each pull of the trigger, and in no particular order—
“(a)fires a cartridge and ejects its case; and
“(b)(unless all cartridges loaded have been fired) chambers another cartridge”.
