In general, no as dealers in MA are prohibited from transferring any ARs that weren't made on/before 9/13/1994 per the AG's diarrhea of the mouth edict. Dealers will likely give him almost nothing for ARs/AKs that the AG has deemed "banned".Can I purchase a Pre ban AR 15 from someone who’s father just passed away? The person is ready to sell his lot to a gun store for way under the value because he does not have a LTC
This changes things. A C&R FFL can indeed buy guns from ANYONE, ANYWHERE if the guns (by S/N) are C&R qualified. If you do this, do the BB and eFA-10 as registration with NO info on the source of the guns.Basically a guys dad died and he had about 12 really cool historical pieces. All are C&R eligible. I would love to pick up the lot without dishing out a lot of $ in transfer fees
No what I am saying is that if kiver was buying the guns from the guy in MA. He would have to do an EFA-10 with the seller. or take them to an FFL.Yea C&R still has to efa-10 you just do it without sellers info like Len said.
He has to efa-10 them but nothing to do with the seller, he can just record them in his C&R bound book and then efa-10 without the sellers info. The guns are C&R and he has his C&R FFL so he doesn't need to involve another FFL he can transfer them into his bound book on his own.No what I am saying is that if kiver was buying the guns from the guy in MA. He would have to do an EFA-10 with the seller. or take them to an FFL.
Nope. Since the guy is unlicensed in MA, just do it as a C&R and eFA-10 registration. No need to make it more complicated than that.No what I am saying is that if kiver was buying the guns from the guy in MA. He would have to do an EFA-10 with the seller. or take them to an FFL.
Of course not. And I fully expect them to rescind the law change after the election (that would allow non-list guns that are C&R to be transferred by a dealer to a C&R FFL).So MA now recognizes C&R licences?
Len, I have a C&R And am to lazy to look it up ,but are any Colt ARs listed by serial number in the C&R list. I thought there was some super secret evil black rifle rule that kept them off.
Understanding that you are being expedient but not lawful. MA does not permit the transfer of guns between two private parties unless both have resident LTCs. The C&R is not recognized so both people are private parties and one does not have an LTC.Nope. Since the guy is unlicensed in MA, just do it as a C&R and eFA-10 registration. No need to make it more complicated than that.
The exception is an estate executor transferring the guns to an LTC or FID (as required) holder within 180 days even if said executor does not have a LTC/FID.Understanding that you are being expedient but not lawful.

180 days is irrelevant, read the actual law on inheritance. The law allows an unlicensed "personal representative" to hold and transfer the guns per the will or state law on intestate passing if no will.The exception is an estate executor transferring the guns to an LTC or FID (as required) holder within 180 days even if said executor does not have a LTC/FID.
Thank you
These guns probably never have been FA-10'd before and the Commiewealth had little or no record of their ownership... Once known, they cannot be unknown.
If one is nervous about this, take the guns and current heir/personal representative up to anywhere in NH and do the transfer there FTF with the C&R FFL. Since a C&R allows transfer from anyone anywhere in the US, doing it outside MA is beyond the reach of MGLs (IANAL).Understanding that you are being expedient but not lawful.

I assume the OP means pre 13-sep-1994 when he says pre-ban so pretty much any FFL will do the transfer for you. The only guns I cannot think of how to transfer are post 1998 off list revolvers and 1961-1998 off list revolvers that have no paperwork showing they were in the state pre 1998. Everything else is transferable with the help of a knowledgable FFL.
Hmmm...two FUD (not Fudd) questions:If one is nervous about this, take the guns and current heir/personal representative up to anywhere in NH and do the transfer there FTF with the C&R FFL.
