Private Transfer Question

[EzGoingKev]

We get three private transfers per calendar year. Does registering a stripped AR lower that was built into a rifle count as a transfer?

It's four and no, as it's not a transfer.

in mass you get 4 sales via private transfer. you can buy until your wife throws you out

4 transfers out of your possession
You can buy as many as you want.
Registration of a lower doesn't count

So that would mean, if you buy a lower, which is not a firearm under MA law and does not need to be registered, then build it into a firearm the next week and register it. It basically doesn't count right?"

So… selling a stripped lower to a friend. Never been registered because never been built. Not a transfer?

Correct. It won't count unless you registered it as a firearm then sold it in a private FTF sale.

There is no option for lower/other when conducting a private transaction. Not considered a firearm by the state. Prudent to do over a bill of sale of sorts and make sure the buyer has an LTC (although not required, still a good idea). Spread the lower love while everyone is still in the mood, if you know what I mean and I think you do.

Did you buy a $2K Noveske lower?

Is there a comprehensive understanding yet as to if the pending MA 2A rights killing bill will prohibit the C&R transfers in MA?

Registrations / purchases / transfers to you have no limit. You can build 100 guns off frames and register them if you wanted. You can only transfer 4 firearms out though via FA10.
