Is it possible to synth n-methyl-2,4,6-trinitroanilinium picrate. Anybody know CAS?

You can only make salts between acids and bases. Therefore, since N-methyl-2,4,6-trinitroaniline is not really a base (being only about as basic as water) it will not form stable unhydrolysable salts. However, some ionic compounds form trough
interactions that are not truly salt-like, at least not the one implied by the name (for example urea nitrate or ammonium carbonate), so it is not
impossible that a 1 : 1 adduct, or a co-crystallizate between the two can not form.
PS: Please use proper IUPAC prefixes: "n-" means something completely different than "N-".
