I thought that I knew the answer to my question, but I was told that I was wrong, so I am bouncing this off of you guys to see what you think.
I am looking to get a STI frame to build a gun with, I spoke to my dealer and he told me that he couldn't get me an STI frame because it was not on the approved list, but that he could get me a SVI frame because it was. I was under the impression that the "list" only applied to firearms and that MA considers a frame a "gun part" not a firearm, so it was kosher to transfer a frame that was not on the list. Once that gun is completed then I, the owner, would be obligated to register it via a FA10 form. Am I mistaken in my thinking?
