Although a person may purchase a machine gun as an individual or through a NFA Firearms Trust it should be noted that in addition to a trust for form 4 sign off by the local CLEO you will also need to comply with The General Laws of Massachusetts, Chapter 140 Section 131 (o) which states:

No person shall be issued a license to carry or possess a machine gun in the commonwealth, except that a licensing authority or the colonel of state police may issue a machine gun license to:

(i) a firearm instructor certified by the municipal police training committee for the sole purpose of firearm instruction to police personnel;

(ii) a bona fide collector of firearms upon application or upon application for renewal of such license.
