    If the Maryland roster shows that a particular gun frame is approved, can you legally transfer a completed firearm manufactured on that frame or is it "build yourself" only?

    Some dealers would sell that gun as two parts in a package deal. Separate the frame from the slide, do the transfer on the frame, then sell you the slide as a separate item.

    I don't know of a Merryland approved frame.
    Are we talking p80?

    Technically the frame is the firearm. But I have no idea what he is talking about. All firearms listed for sale must be on the approved roster and be serialized, unless it is pre 1899.

    The roster requirement only applies to handguns manufactured after 1/1/1985. Serial numbers weren't even required Federally for commercially-manufactured arms until the Gun Control Act of 1968. And stuff made prior to 1899 isn't even considered a "firearm" at all, for GCA purposes.
