7.62x39 maryland legal rifles?

eARl · Feb 15, 2015

Hey everyone, I have been a long time reader of the board and don't post alot. I have become more interested in the 7.62x39 caliber and would like a rifle to add to my collection. I am not sure what semi - auto rifles are md legal. I have read about the sks, mini 30 and possibly the vz2008. Are their any others that anyone could recommend.

sig 556xi Russian

Any 7.62x39 AR. 16"+ of course.

CJB762 · Feb 15, 2015

There are still a few left.

Sig 556r.....not sure if still in production
Vz2008
Vz58
AK pistols
AR platforms in 7.62.

Just to list a few. There are still choices. Just no AK 47.

Seems like the PTR32 may be too?

A nice SKS.

Tried and true.

Ak pistols are really still legal? I did not know that

Mini-30

Yes, not a semi auto rifle, so therefore not banned.

I have a red dot mounted to my AK47. One suggestion is to use a 10 round mag because in Maryland you are only allowed to have 8 rounds loaded when hunting deer. I use Herter's 154 gr lead SP. One day I would like to get a CZ chambered in 7.62x39.

I have really thought about the sks for $300, but am now leaning toward an ak pistol. Especially if I can legally put on a pistol brace.

brace is kind of in murky water, but for right now the way it is being interpereted is this: you can buy a brace AFTER YOU ALREADY HAVE A PISTOL, but can not have PLANNED to build a pistol including it so as to skirt the SBR law. As long as your AIM was not to build a SBR without paying the tax, you are okay to OCCASIONALLY shoulder the brace. Like i said, it's murky.

The Vz-2008 is great other than the bare steel barrel.

Had mine melonited.

Atf released an open letter. Intent doesn't matter. You shoulder it, you made an illegal sbr

I'm aware of the letter

Read it closely and it says specifically that the intent is what matters

Like I said it's murky

"The pistol stabilizing brace was neither “designed” nor approved to be used as a shoulder stock, and therefore use as a shoulder stock constitutes a “redesign” of the device because a possessor has changed the very function of the item. Any individual letters stating otherwise are contrary to the plain language of the NFA, misapply Federal law, and are hereby revoked."

Seems pretty clear cut

There's a million page thread on this subject. OP did not ask for arguments about asinine atf letters.

As was said, the vz2008 is a great option. There's also the windham SRC ar15 as an ar style rifle that shoots the ak round.

RRA LAR47

That are still legal here in the Repubic?

SKS, or VZ2008. The VZ's won't be available much longer though. Get one while you can.

Thanks for all the great suggestions. This may be a dumb question, but if I want an ak pistol I am assuming it would have to be shipped with a fired shell casing. Does anyone know of any online retailers of ak pistols that could accommodate the needs of a Maryland resident?
