03 C&R eligibility I thought was based on the ATF's list of approved weapons. However, does the State then make changes to that list as to what's approved? (Very confused...)
From my experience, any firearm that is a C&R can be shipped to a dealer FFL and then transferred to a C&R FFL holder as an FFL to FFL transfer. An eFA-10 then needs to be done to "register" the gun.
This defeats the whole purpose of getting your C&R FFL. Its so you can have a C&R firearm shipped to YOU, not a dealer. Its a waste of time and money, just have it sent to you and fill out the eFA-10.
... Or just have the seller ship the firearm directly to the C&R... That still works, even in MA.
That's the distributor's choice, not the state's list. Lots of gun folks won't do business here, whether that business is legal or not.
