Not sure I understand what you are asking but if you have a semi-auto and it has a folding stock it is an MSSA
Air rifle? Best steer clear of those things - bit poncey
If you have an air rifle that looks like an AK47, than the MSSA restrictions do not apply.
MSSAs can only be a firearm. (other than a specially dangerous airgun)

No not a firearm
if that was the case then just about ever gun in an airsoft shop would have a restriction of some form,
