    Well I guess you need to spend 30 bucks then
    It's not about 30 bucks, it's about the extra hassle and the extra fees. With all things combined at what point does it equal infringement?

    It is infringement, but it’s the law in Maryland if you want to purchase a handgun. Just like the HQL is an infringement. If you don’t want to deal with the hassle the only current options to buy newer handguns are to move to a state with less infringement or build an 80% handgun.

    The only problem with moving out of state, we're giving up ground. Then we'll eventually all be surrounded. We have to stay and fight!! Lol

    I’m just giving you all the options. That’s them. You could try to get the laws changed and people are doing that by supporting various organizations, lawsuits, and protesting however none of those are fast. Democrats control Maryland and I don’t see that changing anytime soon.

    As soon as I have the money I’m leaving for somewhere free where there isn’t a handgun roster, banned rifles, an HQL, or a ridiculous 29” OAL requirement for a SBR.

    I hear all those states are also changing slowly but surely, I have someone offering me a 380 lock would that work? Do they really scrutinize if you bring your own?

    Sent from my SM-G930P using Tapatalk

    The 380 lock can’t be installed in the 9mm as it’s a different size, so it wouldn’t meet the requirement. You need a bore lock for the caliber you are purchasing.

    I'll bite . .380 and 9x19 share the same bore size , if the length is compatible, shouldn't they interchange ?

    Is it the same? I haven’t looked at .380 and Omega has one for each size. I would think since they have different ones maybe ones shorter than the other and that affects how it locks or something.

    google is your friend, I am not.
    Most of my bore locks are multi caliber. 9mm and 380 ought to be interchangeable. The Franzen I have worls for 9mm, 357 mag, 38 special, anything in that diameter: http://www.franzenint.com/?product=franzen-interbore-bore-lock

    At least in theory, 22lr is .223 in and 223 remington is .224 in so the bore locks ought to be interchangeable as well. Franzen had a "5.7 mm" which appears good for 22lr and 223/556 (link above).

    bore locks are generally not sized by the cartridge they are sized by the bore diameter, plus bore length- Unless you get a fancy expensive one like Omega. A bore lock for a 4" barrel might not work in a 8" barrel. Omegas are sized by the cartridge and not flexible across calibers. I generally avoid caliber- specific.

    Mind you, FFLs do not inspect them closely. :innocent0

    That is good to know. I'll have to pick some of them up since having one to handle multiple calibers will be cheaper and easier. I just made an assumption based on the Omega ones that all were caliber specific.
