****typo in title. Firearm is chambered in 7.62x54R****
I recently won a bid on gunbroker for a vepr 7.62x54R in standard configuration (wood furniture and no aftermarket parts). The seller, a well known importer, is telling me that from what they interpret from the law they cannon ship it to MD. I've called numerous other companies that have been shipping the 54R versions to MD without an issue. The companies that do ship them to MD say that it's legal because it's not chambered in 7.62x39.
Is there anything in writing that I can use in my defense? Otherwise I have to wait until they get a response from the AFT and I have a feeling that will take a while
To make this easy I'll just copy and past their exact response.
"Our FFL responsible authority is having a hard time finding approval for this rifle to enter the State of MD. Here is the reason why highlighted in yellow ; area highlight in green lean towards it being ok. The problem is (xxvii) Avtomat Kalashnikov semiautomatic rifle in any format; We are waiting for the State to respond to us on this issue. Man I hate MD gun Laws"
