New SilencerCo .300blk Subs - no shipping to MD?

5cary · Dec 8, 2014

I just received an email from Silencerco regarding a new subsonic .300blk round they are selling called
Harvester.

The specs look nice on the round, and I thought I might try a box. I've been having a hard time with accuracy with subs and thought these might be worth a look given the selling points. Though they are pricey at $30 a box.

Go to the "Buy Now" page and it seems they dont' ship to MD:

Ammunition may not be purchased online in the following areas:

California
Washington, D.C.
Maryland
Massachusetts
Illinois
Maryland
Massachusetts
New Jersey
New York

Was there something in SB281 I missed regarding ammo sales? I've been buy ammo online since living here.

There was nothing about ammo just magazines and limits, could be a self imposed ban.

Have you tried Gemtech subs?

Montgomery County and Annapolis have ammo bans...that are still on the books, but null because they are preempted by state law. Some folks haven't bothered to amend after the preemption struck down the laws.

No, I have not. Better luck with those? I'm willing to try anything. SS works fine, but I can't seem to find a sub load I like.

Try Lehigh Defense ammunition subs. I get excellent results with their Controlled Chaos sub sonic ammunition at the range.

There was a section about ammo, and it did pass along with everything else in Chapter 427 from 2013 (FSA2013)

They really don't like Maryland. It's listed twice. :lol2:

This is the type of thing we need to slam companies on. Just like people not selling ANYTHING to California, it only hurts the community and emboldens the anti-gunners. I'll be personally calling SilencerCo today and giving them a good piece of my mind. Hopefully it's just a simple mistake.

Nothing in law. It's a choice that every company makes on their own.

I tend to concur, and might call them directly as well.

Having said that, it depends on the reasoning. If they just refuse to ship to private citizens, then that sucks - particularly when the law allows it.

However, there are companies like Barrett (I believe) that have a moratorium on doing *any* business in a given state (Kalifornistan, in their case) in protest of the laws. IIRC, Barrett will not sell to private citizens OR to CA State entities (thereby applying the state's laws to the State itself). THAT approach is something I don't have a big problem with (assuming I'm correct).
