Well I live in Texas so no clue on MA laws yet I know they are very liberal and anti gun. Maybe post it in their Hometown forum and see if you get better responses.

Quoted:
I have a question. I don't live in a ban state. I have a pistol I'm selling and it isn't on the MA list of approved firearms. I have received several offers from individuals in MA for my CZ P-01 and all of them include instructions somewhere along the lines of: Ship frame to FFL. Ship slide to individual. Don't worry, it's "legal" because it counts as the purchaser "building" a firearm. I haven't accepted any offers from MA and it seems a little shady. Not trying to get in trouble, but also want to sell the pistol. I've searched around and can't find a solid answer. Any insight? Ask the potential buyer for his FFL's contact info. Call the FFL and ask whether or not the buyer is GTG. It's his license on the line. |

Call the FFL and ask whether or not the buyer is GTG. It's his license on the line. Best advice. What the OP posted is perfectly legal but some FFLs won't do it. Reason that it is legal is as follows: - Fed Law defines gun as the serialized frame. - MA Law defines gun as "able to fire a projectile" so that a frame is not a gun under MA law. [Can be found by reading the definition of firearm in MGL C. 140 S. 121.] Dealers are forbidden from transferring any guns not on the EOPS List of tested/approved guns and they must also meet the AG Regulations. Since the frame is not a gun under MA law, transfers of frames for guns that aren't on the approved list is perfectly legal. |
