You sell it to them and have your FFL ship it to their FFL.
You do nothing else here in MA, no FA-10 gets filed.
Only true if you also lived in NH.
Since you do not live in NH, you would violate federal law.

I've bought stuff from NH people in MA just by the two of us going to a MA shop. Perfectly legal.
Actually not legal as once the NH person crossed the MA state line, he broke state law for being in possession of a firearm.
If you drove to NH and met him up and put his gun locked in your trunk and then you drove to the shop you would be ok as you have your MA license.
Maybe I'm off here, but I thought bringing your gun across state lines to an FFL counted under federal travel laws. Example would be you need a gunsmith to work on your gun in a neighboring state.

Mass makes no direct exemption for this purpose. If they don't exempt it, then its illegal.
Federal travel laws (FOPA) means nothing except you are free to transport through the state as long as you can legally possess it in your destination state. But even this is not honored in some cases. Case law abounds where FOPA failed to protect people.
Bring the gun to an NH FFL, meet the buyer there, have the FFL transfer the gun to the buyer and give you a receipt saying they took in the gun for the transfer. Done.

How does this matter as you do not need a permit to possess in NH, therefore he is completely legal in his destination state.
Are we talking about a handgun or rifle? I thought you could do a FTF sale on a rifle, but not a handgun, is this correct?
Its was a diversion from the OP and directed to the poster I quoted and milktree regarding him buying a firearm from a NH person who brought it to a MA FFL. Has nothing to do with the OP issue.
Yes the OP can drive on up to NH with no issues.

If the buyer is twisting your arm not to use a FFL for a purchase across a state line, you need to find another buyer
Depends. The person from NH could be licensed in MA, or exempt from licensing.
I'd also let derek or one of the mods know (assuming it's someone from the forum), since chances are it's either a felon or John Rosenthal trying to obtain a gun for their own reasons.
