Hi everyone. I'm still new here so I'm probably asking stupid, redundant questions. But I've been looking for a while and I cannot find explicit info on what I'm looking for. So please bear with me.
I wish to build a few AR's at home, both with registered lowers and potentially starting with a polymer 80% and working my way into aluminum. Gradually gaining the tools and knowledge to be a competent amateur gunsmith.
I moved back from out of state recently and I'm still not clear on a few rules, again, probably beaten to death here. I am not asking for advice on how to break the law, I'm asking how I can adhere to the law of the land and maximize my 2A rights within those laws.
So, my questions are these:
If building an SBR at home, with a registered lower, tax paid, NFA approval etc. Do I still have to adhere to the MD HBAR regs since it's an NFA regulated firearm? It's really cramping my style as far as selection of short HBARs are concerned.
If I complete an 80% lower, may I fit any barrel that meets 16in, or does that also require HBAR advertisement/status? Even though I am not required to register it for personal use.
Can one simply engrave a barrel with HBAR? Or must it be advertised by the maker as a heavy profile or be factory stamped "HBAR"??
I appreciate your time, Thanks
