    OK, is this an area where MSI could work with the State Police to clarify everything, leaving as regulated what is regulated to please the Democrat majority? Just to clarify what is/isn't permitted?


    We are just going to get hosed if that happens.

    Utterly pointless. The State Police would have to issue regulations in order to be binding and they just won't do that.

    But they can be inherited! See MD Code Criminal Law 4-302:

    5) the receipt of an assault weapon or detachable magazine by inheritance, and possession of the inherited assault weapon or detachable magazine, if the decedent lawfully possessed the assault weapon or detachable
    magazine and the person inheriting the assault weapon or detachable magazine is not otherwise disqualified from possessing a regulated firearm;

    Picky, picky. :D

    So many laws...can I sell a stripped lower to a fellow Maryland resident without going through a FFL? The lower was purchased as a stripped lower so I filled out a 77r during purchase. If I gift it to someone do they need to fill
    Out a 77r and go through a ffl?

    Either that or transfer through the MSP

    I was under the impression that 556 receivers were 77r (regulated) essentially because "frame or receiver" of a regulated firearm was also a regulated firearm (see section 5-101, definition of regulated firearm and definition of firearm which includes the frame or receiver). So its not because they can be "made into pistols," its because they are the frame or receiver an enumerated firearm on the list.

    308 lowers are being treated cash and carry because they are not the lower of any enumerated firearm.

    I would have explained it differently, but your understanding is the same as mine.

    Once in talking with Licensing, it was explained that having the 5.56 compatible lowers processed via a 77R allows MDSP to know if it was legal to build into a banned AR15 configuration by knowing when said lower was purchased.
