    I give that till the end of it's first range trip, which will be a short one, before that end-cap is missing.

    Maybe the rail peeling open too.

    I agree, seems like a grenade waiting to happen.

    That's if he doesn't lay it on the train tracks because he can't hit sh!t with that short sight radius.

    I wanna see him try some 600m shots with that MaTech BUIS. EDIT: ON A FVCKING RISER. FFS

    :facepalm:

    I hope that's intentional trolling...

    So general consensus here is that this is legal? I was just told by my gun shop that it is 100% illegal to build a pistol. Even from a virgin lower. I'm calling BS, but who am I to judge?

    Not consensus, as the law is currently written - Legal (to the best of my understanding).

    Your gun shop needs to do some more reading on the subject. It'd be illegal for a MD resident to offer one for sale in the state of MD.

    Thought so. The shop told me no, not legal at all, considered a "assault pistol." As long as I'm using a virgin lower, which I am, and it's registered as other, it's legal.

    The pistol was fun. I'm in process of SBR'ing mine though.

    HANDGUN ROSTER BOARD
    Within the Department of Public Safety and Correctional Services, the Handgun Roster Board was created in 1988 (Chapter 533, Acts of 1988). In 1995, the Board became part of the Department of State Police (Chapter 3, Acts of 1995).

    In Maryland, it is illegal to sell or offer for sale a handgun manufactured after January 1, 1985, that is not on the Handgun Roster.

    Is this the only thing that is in writing on the topic? I don't ever plan to sell any of my guns. Is there a law in writing specifically stating that it is legal for me to assemble a pistol AR?

    Just did a mock up: YHM gas block with a carbine gas tube on the cut down Mega 308 barrel.

    (Decided on 11.5" barrel after discussion with Boss94)

    Carbine gas tube is too short. 9.75"

    Gonna have to try a mid length or rifle length gas tube, no biggie.

    Still waiting on parts......

    Okay, so who are you guys using to transfer these lowers? Or have the laws changed? I was just told NO by the second shop this week.

    Expand your area then.

    I've had lowers transferred by no less than 2 shops now as "Other" on the 4473. Scott's transferred 2 stripped, KeepShooting did another for me.

    Only 1 refused to write it up that way, I have yet to set a foot back in there.
