It's a very magical sort of AR-15 that doesn't shoot kittens and bayonet puppies. Hence, it's not considered a regulated firearm by the state of Maryland.
No, I'm not joking. There is a provision in § 5-101(p) that states that the "Colt AR-15 Sporter H-BAR rifle" and its copies are NOT considered assault weapons and are therefore not subject to the same regulations as handguns and assault weapons.
I have studied this law and the surrounding controversy very extensively. I own an example of a very "politically incorrect" HBAR and am prepared to justify its exclusion in court if need be. As a result of my studies of § 5-101(p), I have slowly lost my sanity over the five short years that I have been a gun owner. Years? Minutes? Months? Millennia? Stupid penguins keep stealing my cheese whiz.
You too can lose your sanity and hubcaps and Pastor Bob! Here's Maryland's assault weapons list. It has remained unchanged since 2005, a little while after the Federal AWB expired. There is no formal process to change it. As a result, many "evil" new guns are sold in the same manner of 10/22s. Because it was written by the clueless, many prototype or rare guns are also listed. If you think too much about why guns are or are not included... well... there's the sanity issue again.

Gray areas? Take your pick! There are a ludicrous number of gray areas as well as some gray areas that don't exist, but are rather created because of ignorance.

First off it states the Colt 'competition h-bar' or clone of. It does not need to be stamped h-bar or Colt. It does have to be an exact clone of. It must have A2 stock, 20" heavy barrel(not bull barrel or other configuration), be equipped with standard fixed sights(removable handle ok, as Colt Competition Hbar could have that), standard handguards, etc. I know some don't agree with this interpretation, but it is what MSP explained to me and the only way I sell ARs unregulated.
I actually wondered this ? Myself OP and mid county thank you for the response. I assumed it was just in relation to the barrel but I see the stock and hg configuration has to do with it to. Thanks for the good answer!!!
This law is a textbook example of poor legislation. For pete's sake, they've even listed AKs as regulated twice, not to mention that some AK variants are also banned by name, as if the writers of the law were especially scared of them.
