I know this has been answered / discussed probably 10,000x by now... just having issues digging it out. I basically have 2 questions
1) Is this a true statement -- that because Gas Piston ARs are not entirely compatible with DI ARs... that all Gas Piston ARs are legal in MD (that are not called out on MSP list)
1.a - Are there any legal DI nonHBAR (assume no)
1.b - Are there any illegal Gas Pistons in MD.. I assume yes - think there are some HK and SIGs off top of head, but guess im getting at, I think 1.a is blanket, but if there is a 1.b not specifically listed on MSP, that it should be OK?
2) MD basically has a Heavy Barrel requirement for all DI ARs -- is this the case if I get a tax stamp for SBR? My last application failed for a 9" 300 BLK, I thought it failed because I stupidly listed the OAL with stock collapsed at 22.5. But now wondering if it also failed because I listed an alternative barrel config of 11.5 & 14.5 @ 5.56. Now thinking of just making my 9" 300 a pistol. But still want a 11.5 or 14.5 5.56, rifle... but trying to understand IF this can be a legal SBR in MD if its not a HBAR (ive never seen a 'heavy' barrel under 16" (MD IS SO ANNOYING.. and Fraking STUPID)
3) Just to stay out of trouble... here is a theoretical question. IF I own a pre 2013 Lower (that I got somewhat recently).. and I find... in my 'closet' or shed or something a pre 2013 Non HBAR upper -- can I mount these and have a legal grandfathered non HBar rifile?
Thanks for the help gang.... Can't wait til I can talk the wife into moving the frak out of here... WVA, TN or SC... thats the dream :-P
