Transfer question.

[Executive]

Let's say I have a hypothetical FFL who will transfer an out-of-state purchase of a non-compliant firearm, we'll call it a S&W M&P45. So, again, hypothetically, I end up as the legal owner of this firearm. At some point down the road, the M&P45 becomes "compliant". Would I, at that point, be able to transfer this firearm to another LTC holder via FFL? (Yes I know I could always transfer via FA-10) I understand that this particular firearm would not have the MA trigger, but would it be scrutinized that closely? I've never had an FFL use a trigger pull scale when doing a transfer! Just wondering, and thanks for any opinions...

Assuming it made the list, I'm sure most FFL's would transfer it without a second look.

I'm sure the legal folks will confirm one way or the other, but I'm under the impression that once an FFL in Mass transfers you a gun it doesn't matter if it's on the list or not. The FFL is taking on the responsibility, not you. Once you have the documentation saying the Mass FFL transferred you the gun, you can do with it what you want.

If the model is on the list, then more than likely they'd transfer it.

I think with the scenario you posited, is the answer is a "maybe" but
more than likely "Yes". I've moved guns through FFLs that have
had trigger jobs, etc, and none of them have ever cared. None
of them even played with the trigger.
