have him get his FFL03 curio & relics license and then they should be able to mail directly to him without MA ffl involvement
If its made prior to 1899 then I believe it is not subject to the typical laws regarding transfer of firearms, which means it can be sold and shipped right to him with no FFL required unless I'm missing something in the question. He's not a prohibited person I assume? It shouldn't be a straw purchase to have someone from a different state buy it for him since there's no 4473 being filled out, etc.
This.
Pre-1898 isn’t legally a firearm. No?
Ditto, did the same on a Trapdoor. Didn't need my C&R FFL, nothing but payment.That's been my understanding and experience. Bought a trapdoor at a well established store near me (one that wouldn't do something to jeopardize their license) and needed to give nothing more than the money and walked out with the gun and a register receipt and that's it!

I'm up against this same problem on an older collectible S&W revolver I'm looking at: Remote dealer just refuses to do business with any entity in Massachusetts. The revolver is not quite C&R, but it wouldn't make any difference. Just another benefit of living in the People's Republic of Taxachusetts.Shop apparently just doesn't want to have anything to do with MA.
LOTS of entities out there that have the mindset of "you are the moron who lives in a state with laws I cant begin to comprehend so I am not going to do business with ANYONE from MA". It is true of retailers, distributors, manufacturers, wholesalers, etc.I'm up against this same problem on an older collectible S&W revolver I'm looking at: Remote dealer just refuses to do business with any entity in Massachusetts.

Not a prohibited person. Has a MA license. Everything in good standing. Shop apparently just doesn't want to have anything to do with MA.
Probably going to pass on it. We discussed and I think he can do better
