Accessible/MD Acquirable PDW

Short version , a Trust will have to get CLEO sign off.

Such is the theory, anyways. Nothing's been confirmed.

MP5s are banned as clones of HK94s...

Not a MP5K clone... Just the HK92a2, a3. So straight and collapsing stock. They do not list the folding stock version which the K is... So I think you are good there. Since they took the time to dictate exactly which stock versions where banned... then if you pick a version with a different stock, you should be fine. This is shown to be the case several times with the Mini 14 for example. Now getting a dealer to agree might be hard...

(xxv) Heckler and Koch HK–91 A3, HK–93 A2, HK–94 A2 and A3;

If you can find a dealer who buys into that, definitely let us know.

I have no Internet Fu when restricted to my smartphone during working hours - but I think that MD had a list of banned assault pistols that predates SB281, and I think we hit the wall right there, IIRC. Also, the manufacturer (Atlantic) is not listed on the handgun roster as best as I can tell.

Duffy's in Sparks Md had some of the MP5K Getz guns they were selling as AOW's. Not sure if they still do. Mine is in ATF purgatory

The MP5K AOW has no stock. That is why its considered an AOW as it has not stock and a front foregrip.

Well since we were talking SBRs, I assumed with stock. Yes the standard MP5K had no stock. The MP5K-PDW does:

MP5K-PDW: Personal Defense Weapon; MP5K-N variant introduced in 1991 for issue to special operations aircraft or vehicle crews. It adds a Choate side-folding stock, 5-inch 3-lug barrel for mounting a quick-detachable Qual-A-Tec suppressor, and an ambidextrous "Navy" 4-position trigger group with a 3-round burst mode. A shoulder cross-draw or thigh quick-draw holster is available.

The MP5-K PDW is presumably banned as an ALG (HK94 copy) or a copycat (OAL).

The rumor I heard was no more trusts and no more CLEO sign-off (to eliminate the incentive for trusts).

Aren't trusts in the law? I don't think they can just get rid of them.
