    FWIW, Bill or no bill it is already illegal to transport a class III item out of the state it is registered in without informing the BATF.

    If you have to do this regularly you just do the paperwork with the pretext that the allotted time period of interstate transport should be long as in the course of several months, that way you limit the amount of paperwork and extend the time period you can legally transport the class III item.

    What the bill covers is future transport interstate of the rifles up for ban as once you take it out of state, it is illlegal to bring them back, even it you registered them and grandfathered them. What I don't understand is that if you currently reside out of state, and move to maryland (although if you are a gun person I don't see why you would want to) you have 30 days to register the rifle, what is to prevent someone not registering the rifle by the deadline, then saying they just moved to the state later.....I don't know, I just wish this stupid shit would just go away altogether at this point.

    ATF governs interstate transit of NFA firearms. If you want to travel with your SBR or other and cross state lines you need to submit a request/notification to the ATF that you are doing so and for what reasons.

    Only for DD's, MG's, SBR's or SBS's. You don't need to get a 5320.20 approved for suppressors.

    Only if it is in NFA configuration. If you put it back in non-NFA form temporarily (Put a 16"+ barrel on a sbr'd ar15) then you can travel freely without any additional atf approval.

    Don't think so, the serial numbered part is the NFA item, does not matter what upper or no upper is on it, it is still an nfa item. Same if you took all the parts off a machine-gun, the receiver is still a machine gun subject to atf approval for out of state travel.

    The ATF has made it fairly clear recently that, registered or no, you only treat it like an SBR when it's actually an SBR. Yes, that means the previous whining about how it needs to be engraved before the form comes back is basically completely wrong.

    Please familiarize yourself with the NFA handbook before you give out any more inaccurate info.

    So, is there a link to the current bill as it stands (amended and all)?

    I was thinking of getting one more suppressor and one more pistol with threaded barrel.

    I go to W. Va to shoot from time to time. So now I would not be able to take my MG, Suppressed pistols, and SBR there and com back to MD?

    Suppressor and pretty much all pistols are not touched in the new law. MG and SBRs don't appear to be either. No reason not to bring them back to MD if you want to...

    I think a lot of people are going off stuff they heard when the bill was first past. Its very different than what is finally ended up looking like.

    That's funny because when I take my RLL out of my AR 15 receiver, it's no longer a machine gun.

    Any questions, let me know, I (unfortunately) have read all 4 versions of this bill from the beginning. I was fortunate to be permitted to and asked to volunteer to help in Delegate Smigel's office for the last week of the session to work against the bill.

    I will try to answer any questions or point anyone to the proper thread up in the Maryland 2A section.

    We don't really know what the disposition of SBR's is yet, do we?
