Someone this morning told me that in the 90's, in the state of Maryland, there was a 7 day wait for ARs and the like.
I don't remember this at all.

Were "assault rifles" ever regulated sales in MD?

Everything that was banned in 2013 was Regulated.

Certain long guns that fit certain legislatively defined characteristics were treated as regulated firearms (handguns) and were subject to the same 7-day waiting period and background check.
How did that work out? Just another boondoggle like the fired casing law.

This guy said that at some point in the 90's that you had to wait 7 days to pick up your AR.
Yes,
All regulated firearms transfers prior to 2013, required the 7 day wait.
HBARS were not regulated, because they were exempted.

If you bought just before the ban, waits were over a month.

Until MDSP settled a lawsuit and allowed dealers to release after 7 days. Paperwork for regulated firearms was taking months. Can't recall when they settled, sometime around July 2013 I think, but after that (and before Oct 1) you could pick up regulated firearms after 7 days, even if paperwork was not complete. I think the dealer had to run the NICS check first though. I know I picked up after 7 days sometime in Sept.
I am sure that there is a thread here on that somewhere to dig up.
But generally, yes, until Oct 1 2013, "regulated" guns i.e. ARs AKs, etc were 7 day wait and 77r.
Not just in the 90s. It was right up until October 1st, 2013. Maybe he meant "since the 90s."
Yep... beginning of a bad downward spiral in the formerly free state.

Two different FFL's I used then would transfer when MSP answered, not before.
I didn't like waiting, but didn't hold it against the FFL's. If an FFL released after the 7th day w/o notice from MSP, and then it came back not approved, what happens?
MSP Problem.
I actually know a person that this happened to. FFL called him and asked him to bring the firearm back. Had he not the FFL would have notified the SP. I don't think the checks and balances works real well if the the dealer makes an error. How would the MSP know?

AR15 is now an assault rifle?
Only if you put quote marks around it.

How does one undo a transfer? If it is MSP's problem, why did the FFL even care?

An anecdote that demonstrates Bolshie "logic" in practice:
A friend used to live in an apartment complex in Montgomery County for many years. Since the joint opened in the '60s, they had a place with a hose where residents were able to wash their cars. All was well for decades until the management changed and began permitting illegals to occupy small apartments with large numbers of illegals (as opposed to having ICE remove them). Of course, the illegals came or brought lotsa kids, who apparently tended to regularly congregate/play at the car washing area. For whatever reason, the kids would regularly turn on the hose, drop it next to the building and leave it there—running full-force, which resulted in numerous floods in the bottom floor of the building that fed it. So the new management "had to do something" about the floods. They prohibited (legal) residents' from washing their cars.

Stop Negassing me!!!!!
Prior to some time in 1994, they were not regulated. It was just a 4473. I know because I lived it.
Damn young bucks don't know anything.
I know of loads of now banned rifles that aren't registered and......wait for it......they are 100% legal. Some of us were buying pretty schweet stuff back when Maryland was a free state. Sometimes, age has its advantages!

Giving the gun back nicely to the FFL is probably a good idea. Otherwise MSP comes to your house at 5am and confiscates it at gunpoint, and charges you with a felony. FFL is doing everyone a solid here. Maybe they can make another sale that keeps you out of jail and that wont result in a 5am raid. Oh and in some cases FFLs charged a "restock" fee for a Disapproved.
