No, but since MA has some of the most restrictive firearms laws in the country the following is quoted for your information:

"What kind of license is needed to possess a primitive arm in Massachusetts? According to the

exemption listed in Chapter 140, section 129C(p), residents and non-residents do not need a

License to Carry a Firearm or a Firearms Identification Card to possess or carry a primitive rifle

or shotgun. However, the state courts have decided that a License to Carry a Firearm is necessary

to possess a black powder handgun outside the home."

More: The definition of a "primitive" arm exactly mirrors the federal statute:

"(A) any firearm, rifle or shotgun manufactured in or prior to

the year 1899; (B) any replica of any firearm, rifle or shotgun described in clause (A)
