Is it possible to purchase an HBAR upper or do you have to go with a completed AR, such as the Colt Sporter?

Great, what kind of weight difference should I expect between a lightweight/typical barrel and an HBAR, generally. I know it can vary greatly.

And a fluted HBAR is fully MD compliant?
I will add a piece of caution that isn't supported by law, precedent, or anything other than personal opinion.
Per a private discussion with a few knowledgeable people. The advice was that the flutes should not be cut deeper than .750" so that the barrel profile no matter where it is measured is greater than .750". This arbitrary measurement is based off of the M16A2 which had a thicker (heavy according to Colt literature) barrel profile forward of the handguards.
Caveat emptor, your mileage may vary, and I'm not a lawyer.
That said I don't have the money or time to fight a lawsuit over a few extra ounces.

Caution is warranted. There is no law about it. It's based on very vague regulation that can change on a whim at a moment's notice, retroactively. The state will assume your guilt until you prove your innocence. Granted, Hogan might be a fly in their ointment, but there's still the turd in the punch bowl named Frosh.

So the safe route would to get a non-fluted?
The only safe route is to live outside MD in Free America

YUP!
C'mon down south. I saw a full hanger of 40rd AR PMAGs and 25rd .308 PMAGs in the ACE hardware store today while my wife was filling out her 4473 for a new CCW gun. We both have our permits.
Haters, you may proceed.

It's discontinued now but I picked one up last year before the craziness. 4.3 lbs just for the barrel. My baby!
