Non compliant handgun purchase

[MrMajestic]

Looking to possibly purchase a Blued Beretta 92Fs Compact in Massachusetts ..can it be done,and how is it done?

If you look around enough you can probably find one.

There out there yes, but How is it done. Do I have to buy it in separate pieces from a store in Mass and then register my self? I have done it with one other firearm...same deal?

 

[Sf Becket]

I believe it would have to be in Ma before 98 or whenever the approved list was created or from someone that moved to Ma and brought it in

A frame is not a firearm per Mass regulations so, yes, you would need to purchase parts and manufacture your own firearm.
Once it is in a state where it can fire you would have 7 days to report a transfer in the portal.

This is not 100% correct.
It would need to be pre 98 for a dealer to transfer a firearm as defined by Mass regulation.
Mass currently does not regulate firearm parts under the consumer protection sections regarding firearms so one can purchase parts and create a personally manufactured (assembled) firearm.

I heard they are out there. But they are only available to those who dare to go the way of the GREEN and learn the super secret handshake........

Understand your response and from my research, you are correct. But....(isn't there always one of those in these discussions??) to address OP question, once assembled, doesn't said build have to be registered within 7 days of completion? I know this has been discussed hundreds of times, but just looking for a quick answer with current topic. Thanks.

The acquisition or transfer of a firearm needs to be reported to the portal within 7 days.
That is what is required to comply with the regulations.

What the person chooses to do is up to their own risk tolerance.

I failed to consider the part about the lower or a disassembled firearm…..

 

[PATRON]

I don't think Gov. Strap on will let this happen.

If you can find a dealer willing to do the frame off transfer. Some will not. Don't ask why my new caliber is .380

I didn't have to look very hard.
If you are active in the community in real life, there are plenty of people who can point you in the right direction

If you want to purchase an off list gun, you just need to fill out Form 420 from the MA AG's website. Then pay the $69 fee.
