Yes. You would need to have it sent to an FFL, fill out a 4473 and wait 8-days. By the time you pay the transfer & MDSP fee, you would just be better off buying from the MD Brick & Mortar store.

If you order a dedicated pistol caliber lower, no 7 day wait.
If you order a regulated lower(standard AR 15), you will be required to wait 7 days.
This is assuming you are a Md resident
Either way, you will have to transfer it through an FFL in the state of your residence. Most FFLs will charge you $40-$50 for the transfer. Get in touch with your local FFL(gun dealer/gun store owner) prior to ordering to let them know of your intentions.

You might have quoted the wrong post here big guy, but yes, I have transfered guns/receivers through my local FFL cheaper than if they ordered them in for me or if I bought them from their inventory.

What is the guideline on 80% builds in regards to AR pistols?
With regards to what?
If building from an 80% you are gtg on the pistol. It is not a regulated item in that form. After finishing you already have it, no purchase or transfer. Also from what I have read here, no HQL needed for a pistol build from an 80%. Hopefully, others can correct me if I am wrong
If making an SBR needs stamp

No HQL needed for purchasing a finished AR lower either. It's one of the exceptions, although you still have to do a 77R.

MD is weird. No HQL needed for a lower, but still a seven day wait. It's not the FFL making it up.
So it would have to register it then I wouldn't be allowed to purchase another lower or a pistol for 30 days?

I have never waited for an AR9 nor AR10 receiver. AR15, yes. 7 day wait.

The only "registration" is the completed 77R and 4473 when you buy it. Nothing extra after you leave, whether you make a rifle or a pistol.
I have no idea about the 30 day wait. Many of us are Designated Collectors so it doesn't matter. It's easy to get and it removes the wait.
