Ruger Mini-14 GB folder legal

c3nthusiast · Feb 23, 2019

Would a Ruger Mini-14 GB folder without a flashider on it be legal in MD? Just a thread cap on it.

No. Just mini-14 fixed stock.

No, factory side folders are banned in MD

Was on the "assault weapons" list, so is now banned. Fixed stock mini 14s are good to go. It is stupid, but that's Maryland for you.

If you owned the mini-14 prior to 10/2013, yes. This would include an inheritance from an estate.

Otherwise no

What if it’s an SBR coming Into MD?

Yes, it's legal

No, slap a full stock on it.

Do the folding stock rules apply to SBR’s? You can still SBR AKs and other banned guns.

If it is a handgun or a kit, you can sbr it.

An existing long gun, is a no-no

yes -As I understand the advisory, SBRs are both pistols and rifles according to the MSP: they are rifles for the purpose of the copycat rifle restrictions (29"OAL, can only have two evil features, etc), and pistols for the purpose of transport and some other items. https://mdsp.maryland.gov/Document ...rreled Shotguns and Short Barreled Rifles.pdf and https://mdsp.maryland.gov/Document Downloads/LD-FRU-15-004 Summary of Passed Legislation.pdf

So, an AK that is SBRd must have >29" OAL and cannot have both a folding stock and flash hider (assuming that there is a detachable mag). A suppressor is a FH in Maryland, so if you plan to suppress an SBR, use a collapsible stock.
