Sorry if this has already been discussed, if it has I honestly didn't see it. Can I ship a "banned' rifle out of state to have repair work done on it then have it legally shipped back to me after Oct. 1..??
Yes you can ship a banned rifle out for repair and get it back after Oct 1.
If requires transfer it is a new weapon and you will probably not be able to receive it. not a lawyer but seems like common sense.
Was curious about that myself although my situation would be a bit more involved than repair.Was going to send out a kit I have for a refinish and assembly.Of course I own the receiver already but the assembly of the parts and then reshipping the gun back is a concern especially considering the fact I had planned on using the mag as a 922r compliant part.Don't have "Md compliant" mag for it come Oct 1. Don't want to be in a grey area in regards to ownership,manufacture of a banned firearm,or shipping of a mag at or greater than 20rds even though I have owned for years in this assbackwards state.Fine with crossing state lines and legally purchasing mags,just not wanting to risk shipping my own property back to me.May just send the kit off for a refinish and assemble myself and save the time and aggravation.At last check there was about an 8 month to one year wait list for assembly anyway.
Unless they completely replace the receiver in the kit, you are good to go. Same with magazines owned before Oct 1, they are grandfathered as well and can be sent for repair.
