Is FN 5.7 available in Mass?

[GlockBy]

I tried using search but no luck.

Anybody knows?

Thanks

No.

The pistols aren't "compliant" (although I know a couple of people
that have gotten them via FTF ) but some vendors are selling the
PS-90s (carbines) from what I hear, with 10 round mags of course.

I'd place a fair wager that a place like Zero Hour Arms
has the ammo in stock. It is probably absurdly expensive, though.

Not only is it not available in MA, but the Boston City council voted to ban it (along with the S&W 500 and Barrett .50 BMG). However, I don't recall if the ban actually took effect or not (anyone have any update to that?).

Last I saw it was about $20 per 50 rounds

They think you can hide a Barrett under a trench coat, and pocket carry a S&W500

We have the ammo at Bass Pro Shops as well. But I can't for the life of me remember what it costs. I think that it's around 20 bucks as well. For some reason, 22 dollars is sticking out in my head...but I don't know why.

We have two kinds. Standard and Target.

Apparently so...

Council seeks to ban more firearms
The City Council yesterday unanimously passed a petition to ban certain ''cop killer" firearms and stiffen offender penalties. The legislation will add the FN Five-Seven, .50 cal. Smith & Wesson, and .50 cal. Barrett to the city's assault weapon's ban. Possession of illegal firearms also will now carry a minimum, mandatory one-year jail sentence under the legislation. Before it takes effect, the petition must be approved by the mayor and state lawmakers

I'm guessing it never got approved by the state legislature otherwise I think we would have heard more about it.

I got news for them, you shoot a cop with any kind of gun and theres a chance he'll die.

Need a frickin' long trench coat and a god-awfully big pocket!

Handgun.

Are even LEO's allowed to buy one on department letterhead?

Thanks

 

[FITH]

I guess if you can get letterhead!

This is a tricky situation.

If it is sold TO THE PD, no FET is charged. The PD can transfer title to an officer by FA-10, but if the Feds sniff that this was an end-run around paying FET, there will be hell to pay.

I bought my first service gun via letterhead, but back then life was simpler. My Chief ordered it from our police supply house, the order designated that it was specifically for me as an officer purchase. When it came in, they notified my Chief who notified me to go to the supplier and do the paperwork and pay for the gun (including FET and MA Sales Tax).

Today, that scheme wouldn't work, since the FN is not on the EOPS List and thus the dealer could not legally transfer it to the officer.

And ordering for the PD violates Fed Tax Law (and MA DOR on Sales Tax) if then sold/transfered to the officer.

Only clean way is for someone to buy in a private transaction LTC-LTC FTF.

Expect to pay a good bit more for any "Off List" handguns you do manage to find here as well.
