Hey, hey, my, my
This is likely a noob question, but I just can't find an answer.
Why is a LWRC REPR regulated in Maryland while a Colt LE901 is not?

REPR regulated, LE901 not?

All I know...is that the LWRC gun factory is located in Cambridge, Maryland --- which could possibly mean that the REPR is state regulated for production --- here in Maryland.

Whiskey Tango Foxtrot?
Nope
The 901 is considered an HBAR.
I have one.
I have one.
I bought mine on impulse when I saw what MD was proposing. Lou had like 3 left and I snagged one.
No regrets.

Hey, hey, my, my
I know it's thin ice trying to understand the logic behind Maryland's firearms laws, but just why is my 20" REPR so much more "dangerous" and in need of regulation than my 901? I've done some other research into this with no clear answers.
I guess this is what I was getting at with my original post here and did not phrase it well: why is an HBAR not regulated in MD when a rifle with almost the exact same functionality is?
And, thanks for all the responses.
IIRC the HBAR was originally on the Colt Sporter which was classed as a "sporting rifle"

Colt LE901 non reg.

Yeah, Lou, I know. I got my 901 from you.
You sure about it not being regulated? I had to do the MSP regulated firearm paperwork, the 7-day wait and incur the 30-day till next purchase (before I got the designated collector) for the REPR. Maybe the FFL went overkill on this?
And, I know what both rifles are since I have them
Edit: Mopar, if you're right, and the FFL just got overzealous, that would solve the mystery for me.

Believe that bull barrel is regulated. Not sure why though.

My mini sass has a bull barrell. Had to do paperwork and dealer kept it until the ok came in from msp, so it must be regulated. I figure OnTarget would know the difference.

Just went through this! If its HBAR or match"bull barrel", it should be considered long gun. Cash carry.

I don't think the REPR is regulated as it is an AR-10 variant. To the best of my knowledge, AR-10's are non regulated while AR-15's are. Same reason SCAR's are non-reg.

Bull barrels are specifically NOT regulated.
