You'll have to go thru an FFL to make the sale.
VA FFL

Yes you can but you have to ship the weapon from a ffl here in maryland to the buyer's ffl in va.

It can be drive to the FFL
Thanks for your response. Why the heck would I be able to sell the gun in MD w/o any checks or an FFL, and I cannot sell it to someone in VA that has more gun friendly laws? That make absolutely no sense. If I was a MD lawmaker... doesn't it make more sense to get the gun out of the state. Seems very dumb.

needing to go thru a ffl in the buyer's state has nothing to do with maryland's laws, it's federal.

That's federal law on transactions between residents of 2 different states.
As for selling in Maryland unless it's an HBAR you can't sell it here anymore, and before October 1, 2013 it had to be transferred at an FFL or at an MSP barracks.
There is no Federal requirement that the firearm be shipped from an FFL. It must go to an FFL in the buyer's state. Some FFL's will accept a shipment from a private citizen. Some won't. Check with the receiving FFL to find out the policy.
OK, that makes sense b/c it crosses state lines. I guess I could list in on vaguntraders and drive it to their FFL.

I've done it with a pistol in Pennsylvania.
Also you can ship it yourself to an FFL if the FFL will accept shipment from a non FFL holder, some will do it and some won't, you'd need to make arrangements with the FFL first.
Thanks to Everyone for your replies.

yep there is also vagunforum.net (or might be .com, i forget) that has a classified section.
i think armslist has local sections?
or you could bring down to the next chantilly show (thenationsgunshow.com) and walk around and try to sell there, BUT you definitely have to have a FFL at the show do all the transfer/paperwork. no gun show 'loophole' for out of staters.
Ask the FFL beforehand. Some accept dropoffs from sellers. Others will only accept shipments from other FFLs before doing a transfer. Their shop. Their rules.
I have 2, and I am buying an AR10.
I recommend keeping your AR-15 if it's not an HBAR. Two gives you a spare if one lower croaks. One leaves you SOL if the lower croaks. Try to get funds another way. Before long, you'll probably wish you hadn't sold it if you stay in MD.

AR15's make me :-)
I was thinking this too. Maybe sell the upper now for some $ but put the lower away for a future generation.
