Hello, new to this forum and about to move to MA next month to start a new job in the Boston area. Coming up from Pennsylvania, I've got a handful of pretty sweet semi custom Larue and Geissele AR builds, both pistols and rifles. I know MA is one of the more stringent gun law states but jobs are hard to come by and this is really an offer I can't refuse. I know pistols are fine as long as they are designed to not take more than 10 round mags. Will need to turn in the over-10 round magazines to the local police for destruction. ARs must be registered, right? I asked the local police department and they said I would need to apply for a gun license right away and have a 60 day amnesty period where I won't be licensed yet. As for the ARs, the police said I would need to have a gunsmith convert them to permanent 10 round magazine that is not removeable [how do you even load the damn thing then... through the ejection port? wtf? OR sell it to an FFL within the 60 day amnesty period, OR relinquish the rifles to a MA police department so they can be destroyed. FFLs have offered and quoted me about 40% the value of the guns which leaves a sour taste in my mouth. Should I just leave them with a friend back in PA? Or sell at 60% loss to a MA dealer? Surrendering them to the local police seems like the worst option out of the three.
