I did a search but couldn't find anything specific to .308 80% lowers. I'm hoping you guys could clear a few things up for me.
I've read that SB281 prohibits 80% AR15 or AK builds as these count as manufacturing banned 'assault weapons', or some nonsense to that effect. But what about .308 80% lowers? Are the 308's still GTG? If yes, is there any new legal ambiguity in completing an 80% 308 (read: would I need to be particularly worried about being made a legal example)?
Also on a related note (did a search but couldn't find an answer), I ordered a DPMS .308 16" upper with A2 flash hider on backorder almost a year ago now and it was only delivered relatively recently. Say I purchase a DPMS lower tomorrow, are there any legal issues I need to be concerned with here in MD for building a rifle with this upper? Is the combination of the flash hider and 16" barrel length a potential problems?
Thanks in advance for help that anyone can provide, I'm pretty confused with all these new laws - many just seem so damn arbitrary that I don't know what's what anymore.
