If getting Ruger PC, does it have to be a "state complient" model?

I think the difference is not threaded barrel and a 10 round mag. I understand the mag capacity, but is not threaded barrel a must for MD?

Threaded barrels are OK here. The Ruger makes a great host.

The PPC comes in two different 'state compliant" configurations (for each of the traditional, traditional-free float, and chassis models), one configuration has a threaded barrel and the other does not and both come with 10 rd mag. Threaded barrel is good to go in MD. The only difference for the threaded SC configuration compared to the standard models is only the 10 round mag.

IIRC, you can actually buy a non-state compliant PCC, but the FFL may not transfer the mags (or may pin them if so inclined).

When purchased. The dealer my pin or keep the mag, so dont sweat it.

Yep - was just editing my post for clarity on that point.

Can’t a MD resident buy one in DE or PA with 17rd mags?

Since it’s a rifle?

Sounds correct, or even VA since they all border MD. I am not positive though

It would be up to the dealer you buy it from.
MSP says the magazine can't transfer with the rifle, even out of state, but MSP loves to legislate out of their bungholes.

Up to the dealer.

I bought my Ruger PCC through Tylers. It was not a "state-compliant" version. Tylers will comply by all laws and pin the "high capacity" magazine so as to not get anyone in trouble. There is nothing else on a Ruger PCC that makes it non-compliant in MD.

“Border MD” has no relevance.

Pretty sure the Federal law states that the firearm MUST be legal in BOTH states. Rifle w/ 17 round mag is not legal in MD so could not be transferred.
IANAL

Purchase of magazine is not legal. Possession of magazine IS legal. A rifle th at CAN ACCEPT 17 round magazines IS LEGAL.

You're correct. CAN accept and transferred with are two separate things.
PA/VA/etc. FFL can transfer you an AR/Rifle capable of standard capacity mags, but CAN'T transfer w/ those magazines.
For example, I purchased an AR at Cabela's in DE. Was transferred w/ 10 round mags to make it MD compliant. Was able to separately purchase 20 & 30 round mags that were NOT part of the AR package.
