IIRC there is a very short list of prohibited long guns in MA and since I don't recall what they are, I won't try to answer this part. I may be thinking of a Fed restriction, but seem to recall that it was MGL that restricted a handful of long gun.

Wrt Gunbroker (or similar), by law the only time that the seller would have to be an FFL would be if you were picking it up at the guy's shop and he wasn't a MA resident. ANYONE can (per Fed Law) ship a gun to an FFL in any state . . . however many FFLs will refuse to accept shipment from anyone but an FFL. Some states have laws which will over-ride this and require only FFL to FFL shipments, but MA is not one of those states.
