Why does he need to assemble it as a pistol? Unless he wants to take the shoulder stock and buffer tube off when leaving/returning to MD.
If he has a lower with a shoulder stock and ONLY a non-HBAR upper, he could get hit with constructive intent. I don't think that has ever been used at the state level.
Personally, I would have two uppers. HBAR and non-HBAR. Once you leave the state, you can put on the non-HBAR upper and enjoy. Remove before returning to MD.
He doesn't NEED to but by doing so if he ever wants to make it back into a pistol this way he wouldn't need to buy a second lower. Also he doesn't need a pistol buffer to build a pistol per ATF regulations. It's just recommended.
What are the specs for an AR pistol? Length etc? I'm going to do that
Legally only not having a buttstock and no VFG*
Most people use a pistol buffer that has no provision for mounting a stock but its not legally necessary. Recommended yes, but not necessary.
Some people will paracord wrap(or some other method) the buffer tube so it won't take a stock but recommended but not legally necessary.
*VFG is dependent on barrel length. After a certain OAL of the barrel it becomes a firearm not a pistol or rifle and CAN use a VFG but I'm too lazy to remember the exact soec and measurement so I won't give out bad info just no info.
IIRC, it is 26" but don't quote that to a judge.Legally only not having a buttstock and no VFG*

There's no law prohibiting you from buying or owning 16"(and longer) barreled uppers of any kind of barrel profile in Md. The law does prohibit putting any aforementioned barrel on any lower purchased after 10/1/13 while in Maryland.since 2013 I've made sure to only buy 16 '' heavy barreled uppers in whatever brand I'm buying. But am able to order a and shape to my door anything shorter ? or not heavy barrel ?
If uppers are not regulated but Md has limits on them. I thought I could posses but not be on a lower . Is that not true ?
if I wanted to buy a 7.5'' light weight upper I should be able to order yes ?
First 2 lowers I made / finished were made in 2011 for sure when I bought a kit and jig. I should be Abel to keep those 2 with light barrels on them for sure .
id like one legal ar pistol just dont see how to do that with a lower not bought through ffl as a pistol
Yes and yes.1) can I order non hbar upper to my house ?
2)Can I order shorter than 16'' upper to my house ?
So does an legally SBR'd lower negate the need for an HBAR barrel to please the MD crown?
