It says on Page 25 of the user guide for the Electronic 77R that you must show your collectors letter to the dealer at time of purchase if you checked the box that you are a designated collector. It is new as of 1-1-2017.

It is an error in the user guide. It was never put in action. Pretty sure its mentioned earlier in this thread.

I have completed two purchases this month and also did not have to show my md collector letter. They will confirm the collector status before "not rejecting" the second sale.

the guide is wrong. The actual software screen says recommended, not required. Needs to be corrected.

Thanks for the info. That helps since I don't know if I could even track down that great hiding spot I put my letter in to keep it safe. At my age I have a hard time with just my glasses and shoes.

I also found out from MSP that the guide is wrong about needing to list a HQL for a lower purchase. They said it is listed as an exemption.

The problem is, if MSP required you to show your DC letter, then they would have to start issuing replacement letters.

swinokur · Feb 3, 2017

which they have stated they won't do.

Problem solved.

They sent me one just a few weeks ago, only difference was that my first one was dated several years ago, like 2012, but the replacement was dated January 2017 in the body of the letter for my collectors status. So I guess technically it wasn't a replacement letter. :shrug:

That is a change. In the past, when someone asked for a replacement, they were told you do not need the letter, MSP knows if you are a DC or not.

Anybody doing the new online 77R for a lower receiver, once you get to the page where you would be required to put your HQL number in, you click the thing underneath that that says something about being exempt and then select the lower receiver option. They are indeed exempt from the HQL requirement and the MSP website has updated its FAQ page at some point to reflect this if you look under Regulated Firearms Purchases:

Do I need a Handgun Qualification License (HQL) in order to purchase a lower receiver?

No, a lower receiver of a banned assault long gun is classified by the State as a “firearm,” but not a “handgun”. A Handgun Qualification License (HQL) is only needed if you are purchasing a handgun that is not classified as a curio and relic.

Hope that helped, I just did my very first 77R last week for my first AR15 lower and everything went very smoothly

Question. Grandfather filled out the application online to complete a transfer but never received a PIN from MSP. Is there a step missing?

Have him check his spam/junk folder.

There is also a link to resend the email.

Melnic · Feb 7, 2017

He should have gotten an email for when he first registered also before starting an application.
email comes from MSP.Licensing@maryland.gov

Alright, need a little help with the 77R online. I am trading handguns with a guy here, I have started the application, chose the "Buying from another person (secondary sale)". I go to "transforer information". Is that my infor or the guy I am trading with?

swinokur · Feb 8, 2017

yours. he is the transferee.

So last page of the application is "Buyer/Tranferee" signature. Am I adding his name before I submit?

Ghost40 · Feb 8, 2017

Just to close this and or reference, I found where I made my mistake, the first page when you log in, is the buyer information. I got confused when I didn't see a place to enter it.

Thanks!

swinokur · Feb 8, 2017

good on you bro.

divingraven · Feb 9, 2017

When transferring to a friend, I realize this system must be utilized. However, I'm unclear if a trip to the barracks is still necessary after completing the 77R online.

Can anyone help me out?
