C&R question

[Arioch]

I may purchase a C&R eligible single shot rifle in a private sale. I know I have to enter it into my bound book, but is any other paperwork needed? Do I have to file an FA-10 with the state?

...Do I have to file an FA-10 with the state?

Yes, a FA-10 must be submitted.

If purchased from a MA resident, it is the seller's responsibility to submit the FA-10 within 7 days of the sale.

If purchased out-of-state, it is the buyer's responsibility to submit the FA-10 within 7 days of the firearm entering the state.

Thanks Kevlar. The interface between MA law and federal law can be a bit murky.

There is no interface. You are best off treating each acquisition under both sets of rules.
