The Atty. Gen. May 2000 Enforcement Notice #2 states that guns. mfg. on or before Oct. 21, 1998 may be transferred by an FFL if they have an approved lock and the dealer provides the required written and verbal warnings and disclosures upon transfer. The other requirements of the regulations will not apply, meaning that the gun does not have to be on the approved firearms list. However, when I approached my local FFL in Westport, Shooting Supply, asking them to do a transfer of my revolver mfg. in 1974 (which is owned and possessed by me here in MA) to my in state LTC buyer, they refused to do so and said they can only transfer handguns which are on the approved list. In view of what the Atty. Gen. Enforcement Notice states, this makes no sense to me. I am thus asking our NES brain trust if I am missing something, and whether it is true that no FFL can do such a transfer of a gun mfg. on or before 10/21/98 if the gun is not on the approved list? However, if this is not true and any FFL truly can do such a transfer (which the Enforcement Notice says in plain English that it can be done), are you aware of FFLs who will do so? I do not want to waste one of my personal transfers in order to sell a gun mfg. on or before 10/21/98 which any FFL should be able to transfer. Thanks!
