Handgun 80%/Kits

Sledgehammer45 · Oct 26, 2017

Hey Everyone. I've heard some chatter about 80% kits for handguns and am curious as to the legislation that comes along with them. Do I still need a HQL, FFL or the lot? Need to be a registered? Thanks in advance.

hmmm... plenty of information on the web about 80% frames, both rifle and handgun.

visiting a purveyor of such things on the web will give you the answers you seek.

I'm going to start keeping track of how many new members with <5 posts start asking questions like this. They ALWAYS pop up Oct-Dec; just when the anti gun politicians in Analpolis start gearing up for the next year's gun grab plan.

Sledgehammer45- I mean no offense, but the sheer number of "newbies" asking questions like your's in Autumn is far from coincidental, considering 95% of these questions in a year come in the two months preceding MGA's legislative session. At least you didn't blatantly ask how to break or bend the law- which we DO NOT support on this forum.

Well the timing could be due partly to me. I met this guy and his fiance at Myrtle Grove. He asked me about my M1A. I offered to let him shoot it and we bs'd for a bit. I told him he should check out the board because there were a lot of great folks on MDS, and a wealth of info.

OP, I hope you understand and appriciate Squaregrouper's explanation. The concern in some cases, is not unwarranted.

response much appreciated. Perhaps next time he should name drop you. We'll all rest a little easier.

80% kits are perfectly legal to buy. You must do the operations to complete it entirely on your own. You do not need an HQL to make your own firearm, nor do you need to register it. If you were to sell it, you would need to get it serialized and transfer through FFL or MSP.

Yeah . The other side would never troll / opposition research at a shooting range, or firearms related event .

When most of them break down in tears at the sound of gunfire it certainly is less likely although not impossible.

From imfdb.org:
Inspector Sledge Hammer (David Rasche) carries a Smith & Wesson Model 629 as his sidearm. The revolver is arguably the star of the show, as it gets the vast majority of the screen time during the opening credits. The plastic grips have the image of a sledge hammer on each side. Hammer talks to it sometimes, but when people catch him doing it, he always denies it. He also cooks with it, sleeps next to it and showers with it. For a guy who talks a big game and casually discharges his weapon for fun, however, Hammer never actually killed anyone using the gun on the show, most likely constrained by the standards of prime time network television. And for a guy who fires his gun so frequently, Hammer appears to carry few, if any, reloads.

S&W 629 - 44 Magnum

Sure, I guess, but I don't know how much good that will do him.

After all, who am I :lol:

You've been around since 2012 and no one's called you a troll. It's a good start,

Thank you for actually answering my question. Appreciate the information.

On behalf of this whole forum... Sorry dude.
We suffer from MD Battered Gun Owner's Syndrome (BGOS) where anti-gun people repeatedly try to infiltrate MDShooters with the intent of getting us to offer illegal advice- giving more ammo (pun intended) for the anti 2nd Amendment politicians in MD.
Your timing made us suspicious of your intentions. We "established members" need to sit back and realize we're chasing away our allies due to BGOS- and that is NOT a good thing.

I hope you take this thread with a grain of salt and stick around,
Kyle/Squaregrouper
