Okay, here's the scoop. I've got a Colt Official Police on layaway at a local gun shop (xxxxxxx). It's not MA compliant, but it is C&R eligible. I have my C&R license.
Now... If I understand things correctly, xxxx will transact this as a transfer between FFLs. They record the transaction in their book, I record it in mine. That satisfies the Federal requirement for transfering a firearm.
As for the state requirement, I fill out an FA-10 form within seven days of receiving the firearm.
Now... The question... I assume that I still leave the "Dealer" portion blank and check off "Registration" rather than "Transfer" as the reason for the FA-10, even though the acquisition occured within the same state.
Anything I'm missing?
Thanks for your time...
