Long Gun Transfers (Rifle/Shotgun)

What Kinds of Long Guns We Will Transfer:

• With a valid Massachusetts FID card, you can receive non-Large Capacity long guns. This means a long gun that operates by manual action (pump, lever, bolt, etc.), or is semi-automatic with a fixed magazine that holds less than 10 rounds (rifle) or 5 rounds (shotgun).
•  With a valid Massachusetts License to Carry Firearms (LTC) card, you can receive both non-Large Capacity and Large Capacity long guns. This means a long gun that is semi-automatic and accepts a detachable magazine. Please note that we will consider any semi-automatic rifle or shotgun that accepts a detachable magazine as Large Capacity, regardless of caliber or magazine capacity.
• We will not transfer an “Assault Weapon” unless it was manufactured before 9/14/1994 and you have a valid LTC. Proof of manufacture date must be provided for any such rifle/shotgun. The Massachusetts Attorney General considers all AR-15s and AK-47s, as well as numerous other rifles, to be “Assault Weapons”.
