It is mentioned in a number of threads here on MDS.

I know Dan at Baltimore’s Best Pawn gets them all the time but he blocks them to 10 rounds for sale in state. I have bought several from him like this.
Your first post is correct. FFL can receive 30 round (STD mag) but cant sell to you in MD. That FFL can ship out of state and you pick up, that's fine.
Used to do that but seems they do not want to anymore. Not can’t just don’t
"Cant" - I think MDSP made some vague threats and said no bueno.

There are several dealers in DE who will sell you the handgun, give you the mags and accessories, then ship the handgun to your MD FFL for transfer. Completely legal.
BTW, everything you do to obtain full capacity mags while living in the state of MD could be interpreted as technically "circumventing" MD gun laws, depending on who is doing the interpreting. Keep calm and carry on.

I have heard some folks say that they can be shipped and others say the MSP does not look kindly on shipping them. So your results may vary.
I’ve heard the same.

I remember this being discussed here on MDS when the Maryland State Police issued the above advisory. Members here were pretty much divided on the legality of this. Some thought that Maryland had no authority to enforce their laws in other states. Others thought the law was the law and it didn't matter whether they sent you the magazines in-state or out-of-state.
I am not a lawyer and I'm not giving any advice. Just warning you to be cautious... and maybe not discuss your intentions in an online forum.
None of the dealers I know of in either Pa, Va or Delaware will do that. You cannot take possession of the gun or attachments until received by your FFL. Again, since it has to go thru an FFL in your state why not just buy the Md compliant version from an IP and purchase your mags when you go out of state. Again, seems like a lot of asking how to circumvent Md laws.
Uh, not really. Perfectly legal buying accessories such as hi-capacity mag for your firearms out of the state of Marylinistan. Marylinistan law say no purchasing, transferring or receiving mags higher than 10 round capacity within the state.
Why be another “test case”. Why make it hard on yourself? And BTW, what dealers in Delaware are willing to do this? I go down to Dover and Bethany Beach pretty regular.
