      Retroactive AR Ban?

      Tries, legislatively at least? 100%. Succeeds? Much more murky.

      grab a gun

      Be careful with their refund policy. I had a snafu with them a few months ago where the rifle stock that was described wasn't the pictured item. I ordered after hours and when I realized the error the next morning, I contacted them. They hadn't shipped yet but wouldn't give a full refund (i.e...

      Rack and Roll is banned

      Yeah, but who's wearing the bullseye? :innocent0

      Rack and Roll is banned

      Sad and detrimental, but mod's discretion. The rules are pretty clear and easy to find. I've done my fair share of forum modding. If you allow any members, no matter how popular or special or important, to run roughshod, you're fvcked. Trust in the mods, it's a thankless but very necessary...

      NFA item woes

      I don't mean to nose into your business, and feel free to ignore this therefore. Why SBR these? Other than a VFG, what are you gaining? A stock is nice, but the pistol brace industry is pretty impressive and always growing. I have an SBR which I ended up spending several hundred dollars extra...

      Missouri bill bans all federal gun control, taxes and stamps.

      Other than criminalizing federal government actions, I don't see why it would lose in court. It is the same logic as the "sanctuary state" policies. (Just keep your Missouri-based non-NFA SBRs away from federal installations.)

      Finish for bare steel barrel

      Depends: Do you have an oven and paint gun? Cerakote. Do you have nothing but a hope and a prayer? Duracoat. Do you have a few bucks to spare and want a forever finish? Salt/nitrate bath from local gunsmith. I'd go with option 3, although for most people it's beyond what we'd do in our...

      Barrels for a new build

      They do advertise as such, but they are around $300. If OP can increase budget, it opens up a lot of options...but I am not a fan (personally) of putting a lot of bills into what is (for me) a plinking round, as I don't compete with, defend livestock, use 5.56 for primary HD, etc. YMMV. Have...

      Barrels for a new build

      Windham advertises a heavy barrel, pg. 41, at $205. https://ty1gp1y141k12fk1dp5xpx1a-wpengine.netdna-ssl.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/windham2017.pdf I don't see anything "heavy" or "HBAR" profile on Ballistic Advantage or Faxon websites. I'm not aware of anything else that's not a budget...

      Some hunters aren't aware of current MD 2A laws

      Respectfully disagree with you here. Significant numbers of crazy bills do not become law due to, at least partially, actions of citizens. Many of them are here and very active. They write, call, protest, and/or testify. I'd rather have more people understand how ridiculous the bills are every...

      Some hunters aren't aware of current MD 2A laws

      But that would kind of ruin the "SURPRISE MUTHAF*CKA, where's your license?!?" aspect. What fun is that? /sarcasm Reality is that publicity/distribution of knowledge to the rural counties is exactly what most delegates and the far left media wish to avoid. It falls on us to spread the word...

      Moving to MD from VA, FML

      Welcome to MDShooters, head over to the Intro section and say hello when you can. >=16" barrel, >=29" HBAR rifles are non-regulated currently. There is a process to register pre-2013 lowers...
