Selling a gun to an MA resident.

[peterthefish]

Selling a SCAR 17 to a fellow NESr in MA. Because I'm a stingy ass mofo, and to ease transfer, plan is to strip gun down to receiver (upper for SCARs) and complete sale of all non-receiver shit in RI, then drive receiver to his FFL for transfer.

Any actual laws broken in transporting a stripped non-AR receiver to an MA FFL by a non-MA resident w/o an MA LTC? If it's legally dicey I'll eat the cost of shipping but would rather not.

Thanks.

Since it's not a firearm under mgl it shouldn't be a problem but i would obviously be discreet about it. Paranoid types would inbound it via shipment or get an LTC escort. I'd personally never go that full retard over just a receiver.

i guess you'll find out when you get that 2 am crash through the door some morning.

This. I'd just ship it in two boxes since alone neither box is a firearm.

Is the buyer going to be with you? (If the transfer of non receiver parts going to be face to face I assume so?)

I've sold several SCARS in MA through local FFLs. As long as the following two are done

1 - Muzzle Pinned
2 - Stock Pinned

You will be able to send to ANY FFL in MA that is willing to play ball (if they full understand what is OK and what is NOT) and have them transfer it directly to MA resident via 4473.

Or you can just send the Upper in this case to an FFL and transfer via 4473 but save yourself the hassle if you can ship it as a whole.

If receiving FFL isn't sure, find another one that will but it is 100% ok.

The receiver *is* a firearm according to the Feds, so you can't "just ship it" without following all the shipping rules.

Which is still shipping it, yes?
