Respectfully, I don't think you know what you're asking for.
If you want someone in Mass to transfer you an NFA item you've already found, that isn't difficult - there are a surprising number of SOT in Mass. If that were the case, you should already have had a referral, or checked
If you want a pre May '86 machinegun in Mass....you're really restricting yourself needlessly.
What do you want to do?

I have GFA arms do your in-state transfer.
You can go pick out any machines that you want and shooter out post on New Hampshire.
Where you can look around and do a private sale I’ve done at least two of those but it’s very sketchy sometimes when you get all that money out there and you don’t really know what’s going on. Just do your research to make sure it’s not a outright scam or there’s not a problem with the paperwork because that’s what you’re buying not the gun itself.
You didn’t say what you were looking for, but the cheapest thing you can get is a mac10. Go to LAGE website.. buy an SMG upper or converted to rifle configuration..
I don’t have any money or I would’ve already done it. mine was new un-fired before I fired it.
I don’t know maybe it’s got 300 rounds on it now I just had to do a little work on it.
You’re gonna pay a little more for a new one or you’re gonna get a used one that already has a bunch of accessories that you may or may not want. just be prepared once you buy it and customize it. You’ll probably be at $12,000 minimum.
That ammo is expensive to

Seems a little expensive but it’s worth but the grip is nice so much nicer than the original one and it’s got the new mag catch so you can use unmodified grease gun magazines or Macon magazines strange thing is I got a brand new Mac 10 magazine from a member on here and for some reason it won’t engage the mag catch…
I think it might be that it’s just literally too new.
If you get the mag 10 and you can also go back down to 9 mm.
There’s also a lot of magazine options. They’re important, but if you’re in Massachusetts, you kinda miss the boat. By posting this here.
I have magazines for guns I might theoretically own at one point because they were dirt cheap

So I am looking to find a machine gun either locally or have one bought and brought to a dealer for transfer.Respectfully, I don't think you know what you're asking for.

What do you want to do?
What I’m really looking for is a site or a contact of someone who specializes in finding transferable machine guns.
What do you mean by restricting needlessly if it’s pre may 86?

I assume you already know that "transferable" is the most expensive class and likely the only one available to you. What caliber are you looking for? Machinegun, submachinegun or assault rifle? The military differentiates. The ATF calls them all machineguns. Cost of ammo will vary greatly between .22 rimfire, handgun and rifle.

If you get a Mac, look into the Lage upper. Otherwise, it's just a way of getting rid of a bunch of ammo in a hurry. I'd also consider a 9mm over a 45acp to save on ammo. Maybe Lage makes a 22 conversion kit. I don't know. 22 machineguns are a bit finicky, but a ball to shoot.
Also keep in mind the new AWB. All transferable MGs (as receivers) are pre-94 ban, but you can’t import anything new into the state. You’ll will need to find an MG that was in MA as of 8/1/24 unless it somehow doesn’t trip the new features test. The Mac should be fine but many others will not. As of 10/23/24 of the Mac isn’t on the roster… a dealer can’t transfer it to you.
DIAS are likely banned now since the law bans “conversion parts” and does not have a carve out for green card holders. (I need to find the reference for this)

The features test only applies to semi auto pistols/rifles. The tricky section is copies and duplicates because the word "firearm" now includes machine guns.
"(e) Any of the following firearms, or copies or duplicates of these firearms, of any caliber, identified as: (i) Avtomat Kalashnikov, or AK, all models; (ii) Action Arms Israeli Military Industries UZI and Galil; (iii) Beretta AR70 (SC-70); (iv) Colt AR-15; (v) Fabrique National FN/FAL, FN/LAR and FNC; (vi) SWD M-10, M-11, M-11/9 and M-12; (vii) Steyr AUG; (viii) INTRATEC TEC-9, TEC-DC9 and TEC-22; and (ix) revolving cylinder shotguns including, but not limited to, the Street Sweeper and Striker 12"

The m11-9 (which is the 9mm version of the Mac 10) with a Lage upper is a good shooter and much less expensive than an MP5. If you'd like to try one out, I have one. If you're looking for a machinegun, I assume you have a green card. If so, you're welcome to try mine.

You may be right, but I’m pretty sure you’re smoking dope with that one. That’s not what the law says to my interpretation by definition of machine gun isn’t an assault weapon. As dumb as that sounds, if you could quote something that backs you up, I’d love to read it.
It has to be semi automatic or a duplicate or copy there of which a full auto gun typically isn’t but there are some exceptions

A registered sear, regardless of what firearm it goes into it’s not a conversion device. It’s a registered machine gun in itself.
The people who wrote these laws are so f***ing clueless. They’re still up their saying “well you can’t own a machine gun.” “ you can’t own a grenade launcher”
Nobody needs an M-16 to take out a deer. My sear is actually registered as an M-15 or something like that…. So I guess that’s one time Joe didn’t know what he was talking about, but he was actually right that they exist.
Yes, yes, you can
