AIM - No CZ82's to Maryland?

[TreadNot]

So I'm anxiously waiting on my C&R and checking out the dealer sites like a kid of many years ago thumbing through the toy section of the Sears catalog before Christmas. Have a Mosin and CZ82 Makarov in mind for the first purchases.

I've seen AIM's ad for CZ82's, but all of the sudden they've added MD to the verboten list:

FFL/03 C&R Required.
Not for sale in MD. CA,NY & MA Dealer Sales Only. Not for sale with magazines in CA & HI.

What's up with that? I see Widener's, Classic Firearms, and J&G all look good to go. I sent AIM an email, and hope to get a reply soon.

Give AIM the finger and buy from someone else. My CZ-82s are from Southern Ohio Guns. One is almost mint.

If your money is not good enough for AIM, it is better for you to spend it somewhere else.

Please let us know what they say

That's weird, I bought one from them less than 2 years ago.

me too...I bought mine from AIM about 4 yrs ago. Iguess they got a case of the ass

Perhaps all of the 82's they have now are from '85 and on? They see that the gun is not on the approved list and don't want a hassle?

Why hasn't anyone submitted the gun yet for approval?

My guess is that this is not for C&R but for FFL01 transfers since some CZ82s are newer than 1985 iirc.

Ooops, beaten.

The other c&r pistols don't have that restriction. It may be that MSP contacted them and advised them not to ship them to MD. I see that j&g also won't ship that model to MD. http://www.mdshooters.com/showthread.php?t=82027

 

[mikec]

Talk to Hog Sniper and see what he would charge to order the gun and put it in book. You then go and pick up from him.

Screw AIM anyway. Any website that makes you send proof of ID and requires you to be 21 years old just to buy rifle ammunition can shove it.

I just recently bought a mint condition CZ82 from SOG and it was made after 1985. They didn't seem to have a problem shipping to MD. I have recently starting hearing of people being denied of their purchase so I wonder of MD contacted these companies and warned them not to sell? J&G and Century also won't sell them here. I thought I also heard that Wideners denied someone also.

 

[mscdex]

Classic will still sell them to md. I wonder if I should buy more just in case

You would need to show ID in a store to buy ammo (18 for rifle/shotgun and 21 for pistol ammo).

AIM is probably one of the best surplus distributors out there.

If they wont ship anything to MD,the problem has more to do with all the crazy draconian MD laws regarding guns than it does with AIM's policy.

I never have to show ID when I buy ammo...I would stop going to that store

Note that AIM lists no MD restrictions on the M1895 Nagant revolvers. As someone earlier said, I betcha it's got to do with the manufacture dates.

Darn it! I ordered a CZ82 from them and never even read the restrictions because I have ordered from them with no problems before. Bummer... Oh well, I guess I'll just take that money and get one of my other CZ82s cerakoted instead.

Why would that make a difference? If the gun is C&R, its C&R. MD shouldn't have anything to say about it should they? I've orderd lots of guns/mags/ammo from AIM, always get really nice stuff. Strange that they did this.

Yeah, Wideners now has a note on their hand gun page stating no sales to MD. Seems they are only shipping C&R longguns now to MD. I haven't called them to verify though as it is just on the handgun front page, not the individual C&R handgun pages.... yet.

As far as I know that note has always been there for 01 sales.

Here's what the Maryland State Police website states about the "1985" rule:

"In Maryland, it is illegal to sell or offer for sale a handgun manufactured after January 1, 1985, that is not on the Handgun Roster. The Board compiles, maintains, and publishes the Handgun Roster, which lists those handguns which may be offered for sale in Maryland since January 1, 1985. Annually, the Handgun Roster is published in the Maryland Register. " (bold by me)

There is nothing in that language that states one cannot purchase these items, nor does it prohibit inter-state sales of said items. Is there anything different in the actual letter-of-the-law from what's written here?
