Do I need to fill out an eFA-10 when selling firearms to a licensed FFL?

[Bostonianboltgun]

I can’t find a legitimate answer to this, but I sold a couple .22lr rifles to Kittery Trading Post last summer in exchange for a 10/22. A couple years before I sold a Mossberg Patriot directly back to a mass based store.
I never filled out the eFA10 because I was told it only for private sale and transfers without an FFL involved. Am I screwed?

Selling a firearm at Kittery Trading Post

A friend of mine called me up to ask me "What he has to do if he sold a gun to the Kittery Trading Post?" He is concerned about the EFA 10 system and how to fill it out correctly. I have heard some folks say don't worry about it because you have documentation it was sold. I have also heard you...

Ok so it doesn’t matter for out of state sales I guess, what about the in state sales directly to a FFL? Same thing or does it vary?

How do people sleep at night without the proper papers in order?

I get the pant-shitting and desire to CYA.

It’s the need for hand-holding that’s annoying.

The EFA10 system is for the private sales of firearms between licensed individuals. You aren’t selling it to a licensed individual.

Nope, it isn't
how many threads do we need for this?

The law, very strictly speaking, says you should be doing a FA10 to the MA dealer as the seller as per MGL c.140 Section 128A

The EFA10 system is for the private sales of firearms between licensed individuals. You aren’t selling it to a licensed individual.

If you actually open the portal itself and not just the MA.gov website, the portal has the following language for "Personal Sale or Transfer”:

The MA Gun Transaction Portal has the capability to accept an MA State dealer’s license number. It should be “displayed on the premises in a position where it can easily be read" as per MGL c. 140 Section 123.

However, I wouldn’t give a crap about it if I were you. Even though what I’ve posted is indeed what the law says, in reality pretty much no one does this and I’m not aware of anyone being charged for this offense.

There’s no way to file an FA10 for an out of state dealer. You need the buyer’s MA LTC or MA dealer number.

Most do not file when selling to a MA dealer either because you usually don’t have their dealer number unless you’ve bought something from them before.

At least 5 a week, but worded slightly different.

You’re fine. The MA FFL did everything that was required.

I miss Jack, he would have shamed the op for not searching and not “going green” in the first reply…
