Those of you who live in Massachusetts can pre-ban mags be shipped into the state? I thought it was like CA where they had to be in the state prior to the ban/law taking affect. Thanks in advance. | ||

Yes. Buyer needs a LTC-A. Up to you if you think you need to ask them for an image of it. Harshest Dream, Reality | |||

The magazine needs to be in the State prior to the ban. Very little enforcement on this as it's almost impossible to prove. Q. When and where did you obtain the magazine. A. Idk, I've had it for twenty five years. Make sure it's a magazine that was around prior to 1994. DPR | |||

It is perfectly ok to purchase pre-ban mags from out of state and also from licensed gun dealers. Local FFLs sell pre-ban mags to the public when they have them. Anything before Sept. 1994 is good to buy. John "Building a wall will violate the rights of millions of illegals." [Nancy Pelosi] | |||

The law says that the magazine had to be in the state prior to 94. This is impossible to prove, but a key distinction from "any mag made before 1994 is OK." As long as the person you're shipping to in MA has an LTC-A, that is what is important. They would already be in deep shit for some other crime before someone is paying attention to their magazines. People who have LTC-B and lesser permits, may not possess high capacity magazines in MA. Arc. ______________________________ "Like a bitter weed, I'm a bad seed"- Johnny Cash "I'm a loner, Dottie.

Yes, as long as the buyer has a class A license for high capacity. Local stores sell pre ban mags all the time | |||

Dumb question, but, what (if anything) counts as a "replacement part"? | |||

Tread carefully as possession of a high capacity magazine in Massachusetts is a ten year felony. "Chapter 140: Section 131M. Assault weapon or large capacity feeding device not lawfully possessed on September 13, 1994; sale, transfer or possession; punishment "Section 131M. No person shall sell, offer for sale, transfer or possess an assault weapon or a large capacity feeding device that was not otherwise lawfully possessed on September 13, 1994. Whoever not being licensed under the provisions of section 122 violates the provisions of this section shall be punished, for a first offense, by a fine of not less than $1,000 nor more than $10,000 or by imprisonment for not less than one year nor more than ten years, or by both such fine and imprisonment, and for a second offense, by a fine of not less than $5,000 nor more than $15,000 or by imprisonment for not less than five years nor more than 15 years, or by both such fine and imprisonment.

Hey, let's not be overly dramatic, and also, please let people who live here in MA answer the question. The OP is asking about shipping, not possession. I already laid out what the actual law says, and there is the reality of what happens every day. Guys, can we work to give people the correct answer to questions like these? If you aren't living in the locale asked about, please just move on from gun law threads like this.
