You are forgetting dealer samples.
The "post may dealer samples" procedure is generally a very ineffective workaround. In order for a SOT dealer to get one, said dealer must have a "LE demo request letter". And no, local PDs are NOT interested in a demo of a machine gun from a small local dealer, and will NOT write you a dealer letter - even if the department is green. One of the commanding officers I know in a very green department told me about the regular supply of letters he gets requesting demo requests - and they get instantly circular filed.
The only wallhack for a place that is not legitimately trying to be a large scale LE reseller to get post-86 full autos is to become a licensed manufacturer of NFA weapons.
So FFL + good CLEO relationship = potential dealer samples. Thanks for the clarification.
It takes more than a "good relationship". You need a CLEO willing to risk his career on a press expose about how (s)he helped a private business s/he is buddy buddy with get access to full auto weapons using the official status of the department to do so. Ok, so it might work in a VERY unusual situation, or in states where the public reaction would be "good for him!" - but my guess is it won't happen in MA.
