Wasn't this always the case in recent years? I thought if you were buying an SBR it had to be on the handgun roster, but you could do a Form 1 and build your own and the roster was irrelevant. Either way, you'll find this crazy ass stuff only in MD.
MSP now considers SBR's w/req min 29" OA length as Pistols? WTH?

Maybe they think it's sounds like a pistol when fired? Lol

With the ATF's revised stance on "braces" you are probably right. My purchase, stock swap, and tax stamp application came before that.

So my factory SBR isn't on the Handgun Roster either. The more I think about it Maryland's ridiculous and inconsistent registration scheme is an incentive to build a 24" ghost gun pistol and just bypass all the illogical crap!

No worries, they will update them soon. They are waiting on all the "new" MDS members/trolls to finish discussing/pointing out loopholes so they know what to administratively ban in the next SOP.
The requirement that an SBR be on the handgun roster was removed by the MGA last session.

This might be a major thread derail but i'm going to answer anyway. A PIA request was filed at the end of April that asked for the in use SOP. the vague response from MSP-LD was the the SOP requested was "under review" and that "by policy was not releasable"

I'm currently in my 7 day way to pick up my factory SBR that my stamp came in for Tuesday last week. Did not realize that this was necessary on top of the NFA wait period. Fortunately my wait for ATF wasn't that bad, April to October.
I thought I was being pranked when I was asked for my HQL. Considering I've been waiting since April, another week isn't a huge deal, and is out of my or the dealer's control so I'm trying not to be bothered by it. Unfortunately I don't do well with stupid, so it's still bugging me a bit.
I tell ya, it's a damn good thing I have this 7 day "cool down" period, who knows what I would have done if I didn't have the 7 additional days with the 6 months.

Move to Delaware, Pennsylvania or Virginia, whichever is closest to your current residence.

I had no idea buying a factory SBR was so screwed up. I think I would have bought the lower and upper separately and SBR'd the lower. Lot less hassle. I have not bought a complete factory SBR,so excuse my ignorance. I may or may not have SBR'd a few lowers prior to the 41F rule change.
I guess the 7 day wait does not count doe SBS's?

How so? I bought a lower to make an SBR. Same rules apply.

Maybe he is talking about pistol caliber lowers?
no, a rifle has a barrel over 16" and is designed to be fired from the shoulder.
AN SBR is not a rifle.
FSA 2013 perverted the definition

just for kicks, decided to check my 77r status for the SBR and it's under "Second Review", although not sure why as it's on the handgun roster and is not banned. Sheer pettiness is my guess

dont be a dumbass
Every 77r goes through second review. Usually the day before its released.
The MGA removed the requirement for an SBR to be on the handgun roster.

This is the first one that I've had go under second review, that I know of, unless it happened without me noticing.

You guys live in a screwed up state.
