Finally got my C&R last month. I'm a NH resident.
Am I allowed to buy a C&R from a MA resident who holds an LTC? Are there any concerns as far as the FA10 goes on their end?
Thanks.
I think they would have to do a PAPER FA10 with you as the buyer and your 03FFL number in the license space. They Electronic FA10's don't work for out of state sales to FFL's either 01 or 03
This is a ticket to nothing but TROUBLE!!
Do NOT do this or you may get some visitors you don't want at both ends of the transaction.
Easiest/cleanest way to do this is the owner brings (or ships via UPS/FedEx 2-day Air) the gun to the NH C&R FFL. NH guy gives copy of C&R FFL and Bill of Sale (not required but good idea) to MA guy and the NH guy just records it in his BB with ID info on seller. IF MA guy wants to get it out of his name, he must do a paper FA-10 only (eFA-10 will NOT accept FFL # of any sort) BUT unless he can do it without it looking like a FTF private sale between 2 people who live in different states (a federal felony) I would skip it and avoid visits from unfriendlies looking to jack you up. Finding one is equal to finding a unicorn under your bed. Thus, MA guy can call it a day with his bill of sale and C&R FFL info stapled to his original FA-10 from when he bought it . . . it'll always be in his name as far as MA is concerned however.
This all has raised my concern as well. As a C&R myself, if selling online, I assume I can ship in-state and out-of-state to another C&R. However, if they do not have a C&R, I ship directly to their FFL? Or do I need a local FFL to ship? Either way I do an electronic FA-10 transfer and log the sale in the BB.
If I am wrong here, please advise.
Also, where are the seminars located?
We are talking about rifles, no hand guns.
Also, if you ship a C&R handgun the carriers all require you to use next day air service which costs a fortune. You're actually better off having an FFL dealer ship it for you since they can use priority mail flat rate boxes which ends up cheaper even after paying their transfer fee.

I think it's worth highlighting that paper FA-10's are no longer allowed per the law. The web portal is the only thing allowed for (and required) by MA law.
Except certain oddball transactions can NOT be reported thru the portal due to the way the portal was designed. I had hopes that they would have changed the software, but no dice.

Huh.. so, the portal *doesn't* actually work. Brilliant.

And I still find it outrageous that the head of the FRB is telling people to do things contrary to the law.
It surprises you that a firearms transaction system implemented by the MA.gov doesn't work correctly?
It's true. I tried to record a transfer online, and it will not accept an out of state ID number. I had to find the elusive paper FA-10 and file.
Don't be surprised if that ends up paying dividends in the form of retarded questions and accusations from the state and/or ATF.
