I believe the folder on a semiautomatic shotgun makes it banned in MD. If you put a fixed stock on it should be okay. Or if you owned it prior to 10/1/13 can possess it Maryland.

8)*If this is a*semi-automatic*shotgun, does the weapon have a folding stock? If so, then it is banned and may not be purchased, sold, or transferred.*
I believe so. It is not considered an AK copy by MSP because it is a shotgun.

What's the call on folding stock Saigas owned before 10/1/13?
Do they need to be changed out/pinned?

Do you have proof of purchase pre 10/13

I thought if it was bought pre 10/13 the fsa doesnt apply as far as modifications to the weapon...

This is the question I'm hoping to have answered/opinion weighed in on.
I don't want a range trip to turn into a legal battle. I'd rather follow the rules of this state until I can leave it behind

Most of your Saiga pics have been posted well before FSA2013, which clearly show their configuration. So, I'd lean towards you being in the clear.
But, I say that using logic - and this is MD...

Well, seeing as they're SBSs, I'm thinking everyone (Feds/State) knows when they were purchased. I believe I'd be pretty screwed if I need dated pics from a gun forum to prove my time of possession
I checked out MSP site, but didn't find anything regarding ownership previous to 10/13...or I did and didn't properly interpret the legalese.
