    Honestly, I'd just put it in a sealed bag with some dessicant and leave it in the storage unit.

    Bear in mind that as far as MD is concerned, a pre-October 2013 lower is not replaceable if stolen or sold. Or so I seem to recall. I'm uncertain of its replaceability if damaged beyond repair.

    Wish I'd bought more.

    This, definitely. You may want to preserve the option to bring it back to Maryland at some point.


    I will be spending several months in Cali at my girlfriend's house while we build a home in Tennessee. Unless I am misinterpreting the current California firearm laws, I can't bring my M4 with me and have it there...

    Just want to understand my options for the M4 if I can't bring into Cali. Thanks.
    Have you considered converting it to a “Fixed Magazine” compliant rifle?

    With a 10rd magazine locked in there, it would be less useful for home defense, or whatever, but alleviate any issues storing it somewhere outside of your control. Bullet Buttons are a no-go, but a tool-required/break-open fixed mag should still be compliant.

    if my interpretation is correct, what are my best options for storing my M4 for several months? Is there any law against leaving it with a friend in Maryland, if the friend has a clean record? If I shipped to an FFL in Tennessee, do FFLs offer any type of temp storage service?

    Just want to understand my options for the M4 if I can't bring into Cali. Thanks.

    You could send it to me in NH

    I promise to give it periodic "exercise" and help acclimate it to life in a relatively free state......

    No charge of course....
