Hey all, newbie here. I currently live in Virginia and recently bought a Smith & Wesson M&P Sport II rifle. I am possibly moving to Maryland within the next year or two and I was wondering if I can bring my gun? I know it's banned by name, but I'm not sure if it's just that you can't buy, sell, or transfer it in Maryland (is it legal to OWN if I bought it legally in another state and then moved to Maryland?). If I am in fact not allowed to have it at all in Maryland, is there anything I can do to it to make it legal? Thanks in advance for your help.
Banned gun?

The other option would be moving somewhere besides Maryland. Or leave it with someone in a different state.
Yeah, sorry about that.

When All Else Fails.
If you bought it before 10/1/2013, you can bring it in. You have 90 days (pretty sure) to register it.
If bought since that date you could change the barrel to an HBAR. With that, no registration is needed

i bought it in 2017. oh well it's my own fault for not being informed enough. so if i change the barrel to an hbar, it would be completely legal? ballpark how much would that run me? and even though the base is a copycat, if i changed the barrel to an hbar it would be ok? thanks for all the replies everyone.

yes,depends by brand of upper 300-1200,yes! bushmaster is the only manufacter thats banned by name in this state!
Depends what barrel you want. About $150-400. Pretty easy to swap yourself
You could also just swap out the upper forabout $300-600.

You could also just swap the barrel. $100ish for the barrel and $50ish for a Smith to install it.
Out of curiosity, what made you decide to go with the M&P sport?

to make life more easier man, sell the rifle and buy one here.why waste an additional 100+ bucks to make it md compliant?

That rifle has a heavy barrel, but because S&W won't state that, it's not legal in Maryland. I'd suggest you swap the upper that has a barrel that specifically has HBAR on it, or don't move to Maryland.

Price. Haha, i read reviews saying that it was a very reliable gun for the price, so I went with it.
I would sell it if I thought I could get money back for it, but I think I would end up losing money on it. Or I would be unable to find someone to sell it to.
Just to clarify, if I swap the barrel out for one that say HBAR on it, it would be 100% legal to bring with me to Maryland if I move there? Even though the rest is a Copycat?
