      AR Pistol and HQL?

      Thanks for clarifying. My edit was to fit the scenario I used, since I couldn't find a convincing enough document declaring stripped lowers as "Regulated Firearms". I guess by nature of requiring a 77r they are "Regulated". Perhaps the statement from MDSP Advisory LD-FRS-14-003, "However...

      AR Pistol and HQL?

      My posts are in good faith. However, after re-reading the law I realized that I may be misspoken. I am now not confident that a lower itself would qualify as a regulated firearm. For my HQL application I'd assembled the lower as an AR pistol. I've edited my previous posts to correct for this...

      AR Pistol and HQL?

      I used my post-2013 lower as my training exemption. I now have an HQL. The exemption is, "​​Lawfully owns a regulated firearm, you do not have to complete the training to apply for the Handgun Qualification License." Stripped lowers are regulated firearms.

      AR Pistol and HQL?

      Hence the qualifier, "If you were so inclined". Again, you don't currently need an HQL to purchase a lower receiver. However, you do still need to go through the 77R application process.

      AR Pistol and HQL?

      Stripped receivers are exempt from HQL requirements. You will still need to fill out a 77r and wait the 7 days for the "not-disapproved". If you were so inclined, you could assemble the receiver as a handgun and claim it as your previously owned regulated firearm to use as a training exemption...

      Us model 1917 rifle with brass pin through action

      For what it's worth, my Eddystone (May 1918) has a pin in front of the bolt handle. Mine's kinda weird in that it's an Eddystone barrel/action in a Winchester stock. The stock has a Canadian cartouche and the forestock has what looks like remnants of red paint (lend-lease). Regardless, it...

      Follow-up to "Maryland Arms Collectors Association (Suggestion Box)"

      MilSurpDan, SmokeEaterPilot, and myself were able to present your thoughts to the Maryland Arms Collectors Association (MACA) board members. The board's concerns were on increasing membership, particularly of younger members, while still maintaining an active social environment where members...

      That's just for the March show. You see more "modern" C&R pistols at meetings. For instance, there's a gentleman who has an extensive Luger and P-38 collection.

      Is the colt m4 expanse legal in md?

      They were directly quoting correspondence with the MSP. It appears the posted list has not been updated. Go figure. Edit: As checked early 9/16 it's specifically "not banned" http://mdsp.maryland.gov/Organization/Pages/CriminalInvestigationBureau/LicensingDivision/Firearms/FirearmSearch.aspx

      Home defense... how do you keep your gun?

      I subscribe to the belief that if I'm going to fire a firearm at someone then I must feel that my life or a loved one's life is in danger. Which warrants a lethal response. No warning shots. No racking slide for the sake of intimidation (action is only kept open due to gun pixies... working on...

      Home defense... how do you keep your gun?

      Remington 870P under bed loaded 6+1 with 00 buck. Action kept open with round sitting on the carrier. I do not have to worry about children or other family members getting their hands on it.

      Is the colt m4 expanse legal in md?

      I see how my informal phrasing makes it seem like I was entirely relying on the retailer's word. I understood it to be MD legal based on: -It's a Colt AR-15 (I know brand doesn't really matter) -It's specifically advertised as having a heavy barrel

      Is the colt m4 expanse legal in md?

      The HB series has a chrome lined Colt M4A1 SOCOM barrel ("13629 MP" barrel markings). The upper receiver has a square forge marking. One place where they noticeably skimped is that the furniture is a cheaper plastic.

      CE2000HB is good to go Recently purchased a CE2000HB from Fox's Firearms, so I'd hope it's good to go.
