    NFA laws weren't touched, but the question is how apparent conflicts will be interpreted. Something like a machine gun or suppressor shouldn't be any different, but an SBR AR might be iffy.

    Only if it's under 30" OAL, or has two evil features. The truth is, the vast majority of "serious" AR-15 SBRs will remain legal to manufacture. Only the stupid ones with < 10.5" barrels might run afoul of the ban.

    how about a factory ar sbr

    SBR is defined in MD the same as a handgun. What is funny, the evil guns MD wanted to ban because they look scary, were missed due to the gun grabbers stupidity.

    The new law takes effect after 10/1, make sure the SBR doesn't have a fixed magazine greater than 10 rounds.

    Remember, we Marylanders are blessed with 2 Constitutions, the U.S. and the Maryland one which is subject to wild interpretation. We have to jump through 2 hoops to exercise our 2A rights, and the second hoop keeps getting smaller! If you don't like our gun laws, just wait, they are sure to change.:sad20:

    When they change you can bet you will like them even less.

    A SBR is not a rifle. It is a SBR. NFA stuff is viewed differently.
    The problem is the definition of an SBR in MD state code:
    (f) Short-barreled rifle.- "Short-barreled rifle" means:

    (1) a rifle that has one or more barrels less than 16 inches long; or

    (2) a weapon that has an overall length of less than 26 inches and that was made from a rifle, whether by alteration, modification, or otherwise.
    The fundamental problem here is that the very definition of "SBR" states that it's a rifle. That gives the AG some wiggle room to apply the copycat tests on them. Do I think that's probably a misapplication of the law? Yes. But I need people to understand that some of these worries are not baseless.

    No. In fact, more than one ffl I've spoken to said they think this will spur an increase in SBRs. Nobody will know for sure, though, until the MSP tells us how they're going to enforce the law.

    Oh, SBR sales will shoot through the roof if it turns out that you can dodge it all with one of those. That said, they're not appropriate for every build...
