are threaded barrels ok in MA... I know the AWB requires brakes instead of FH... but I wasn't sure if that meant all muzzle devices needed to be pinned/welded...

Threaded barrel is an AW feature, meaning if you had an AR-15 with exposed threads, it would be an AW.  The muzzle device needs to be perm. attached so that you technically don't have threads.

Yes threaded barrels are fine on pre 94 ban weapons.Muzzle brakes have to be permanently attached on MA compliant rifles AKA post ban or have no threads at all if no brake is attached.
