I am new to this site and I just turned 18 last year and I am looking to buy a gun.

Does anyone know the law about buying a Smith and Wesson m&p 15 .22?
Is it regulated because it is an AR-15 look alike and can I buy it at 18?

Maryland has some confusing gun laws.

Idkk about that one but I know my rifles that are not regulated are heavy barrel rifles so my guess is no

You're good to go. M&P15-22 is non-regulated cash-and-carry for 18yo and up.

Thanks guys. And the gun has to have a fixed stock with no flash suppressor and an under 20 round magazine right?

I wish it didn't have to be like that but that's what I saw when I was looking around.

And the gun has to have a fixed stock with no flash suppressor and an under 20 round magazine right?

In MD, it can have a collapsible stock and flash suppressor and it's still not regulated because it's a dedicated 22LR rifle. You cannot receive the 25-rd magazine in MD, unless the FFL limits it to 20 rounds or less with a permanently epoxied-in stopper.

You can also pick up a M&P 15-22 in PA or VA. Thy might give you some crap about giving you the 25 round mag, but all they have to do is run the MD instant check. I picked up a MOE version in Gettysburg. Well, I would have if I owned any guns.

Magazines for the AR15-22 is the hardest thing to find. I have a bunch because I was shooting competitively with mine for almost 2 years. but I ended up selling two of my newest ones to one of my shooting buddies daughters because they could not find any in time for her first match. Still have 13 of various sizes from 10-32 rounds.

Thanks everyone. You have all been very helpful.

Hopefully they will have the gun back in stock soon. Everything is gone right now.
