I apologize if this question has been beaten to death, but is a piston AR15 with a M4 profile barrel in 5.56/.223 legal?

My opinion, yes, they're legal. In order to be copies, MSP has said they need to have completely interchangeable parts. Since you can't change all of the parts, not a copy. But I am not a MD Regulated FFL, a lawyer, nor MSP (The order MSP wants you to ask such questions in...). But I know some FFLs are still selling piston rifles.
This was my understanding until I saw the MR556 as banned.

Not to sound dumb, but where is the MR556 banned by name?

Not banned by name though, banned as a copy. Personally I too think MSP got this one wrong. I'm just a guy, just my .02.

I completely agree. No way is that a "copy".

Yeah I'm really interested in this too, I only have 1 pre oct 1 lower and it has a piston upper on it in M4 so I'd love to be able to get another lower now that they are sold again and put my piston on there then get another upper for the grandfathered lower I have.

Is that a 16+" piston upper you have? If so, unfortunately you couldn't swap it onto a lower bought post-10/1 (that'd be making a banned ALG).
If you planned on SBRing that new lower, making it a pistol or an HBAR you'd be all set though.
Yes it's 16+ but that I thought was the point of this thread. Is a piston m4 not banned because of the inter changeable parts line designation where it does not share interchangeable parts with other banned rifles.
