A couple points I didn't see mentioned.
a) Unless you have access to the proper tools, fixtures and a basic 'build'
knowledge, IMHO you are right to buy your first pistol.
b) Unless something has changed, MD legislation prohibits new SBR's. Very
difficult to travel out of state with them as well. Out of state residents
can't even get permission from the ATF to temporarily bring them into MD.
I tried and I'm in PA.
c) Make sure the pistol you do buy is under 26" and the length of pull is
=/<13.5" with the brace at full extension. There are LOP limiters you can
buy but I'm not sure they will allow the pistol to meet ATF's guidelines.
Some people will say the 13.5" LOP is just a guideline. Personally, I don't
want to be the test case. A length > 26" turns the weapon from a 'pistol'
to an 'other'. I can't speak on how that translates in MD.
d) The discussion on 5.56 vs 300 Blackout for short barrels will go on for
ever. Buy what you want or buy another Upper. Most will agree that
10.5" - 12.5 is the shortest Barrel length you want for the 5.56. The 11.5"
& 12.5" may not make the 26" length to be a titled as a pistol. I prefer an
8.5" or 10" Barrel for my Blackout.
e) And finally, do your research and select a Tier1 builder.
How do they measure the 26” is that OAL? collapsed brace or fully extended?
