ATTENTION: As of 10/2/2024 with the passing of H.4885 the following now applies:

Since all firearms sold in MA must now be on approved rosters, and there are none available for long guns, The Commonwealth of Massachusetts Executive Office of Public Safety and Security has stated that under the Act and 501 CMR 7.00, dealers may continue to sell shotguns and
rifles so long as they are not otherwise prohibited in Massachusetts, pending further guidance from
the Firearms Control Advisory Board.

Pump action is a type of manual firearm action that is operated by moving a sliding handguard on the gun’s forestock. When shooting, the sliding forend is pulled rearward to eject any expended cartridge and typically to cock the hammer or striker, and then pushed forward to load a new cartridge into the chamber. Most pump-action firearms use an integral tubular magazine, although some do use detachable box magazines. Pump-action firearms are typically associated with shotguns, although it has been used in rifles, grenade launchers, as well as other types of firearms. A firearm using this operating mechanism is colloquially referred to as a pumpgun
