We recommend that nobody uses the current online transaction reporting system until such time as they fix the many glaring errors.
We have paper FA10 forms available at the GOAL office for our members should anyone need any. They should also be available at your local PD as well.

The house oversight committee is investigating it, we are awaiting the results.And this error has been known since day 1. The fact that they haven't fixed it is appalling.
As always the FRB will continue to provide sequentially numbered, standardized, three part paper FA-10 forms to police departments for their residents. The FRB has provided a sufficient number of paper FA-10 forms to all non - MIRCS departments and departments in municipalities with limited internet options. All police departments have been asked to contact FRB if the department's supply of paper FA-10 forms has run low. In addition, enclosed please find a supply of paper FA-10 forms for GOAL member who wish to use them.
E-FA-10 and the approved, sequentially numbered FA-10 forms will provide residents of the Commonwealth with two convenient options for complying with the requirements of G.L. c.140, s128A and 128B.
EOPS website said:The E-FA-10 replaces Form FA-10, the three-part form previously used to file a weapon transaction record and is the current “form” furnished by the Commissioner of the DCJIS in accordance with G.L. c. 140, §§ 128A and 128B.
I dont know about the rest of you, but I just don't trust filling out an FA-10 online (especially when it is so buggy). Ill chose paper over online forms anyday.
But do you really know what happens after you put the paper form in the mail? Does it get lost at the post office, misfiled or thrown away by the hungover FRB intern? I've never gotten an acknowledgment of compliance.
It seems like the paper and online versions are equally crappy.
