Mini-14 Folding Stock on a Pre-2013, grandfathered?

No.

Unfortunately, you can't because the rifle would have to have been registered to you prior to 2013 FSA.

It matters not how old the rifle is. It matters when the rifle was registered to a specific person in Maryland which had to have been prior to the 2013 FSA.

I'm not a lawyer.

Now you "might" be able to keep the stock out of state. Put it on, in a legal state, and shoot it there. Then convert it back to unbanned status to return to Maryland.

But once again, I'm definitely not a lawyer and not giving lawyerly advice. Just a layman's opinion.

Were Mini 14's regulated in Maryland? That's the only way they could prove when you owned it, as long as the rifle is old enough to be pre-2013. Or am I missing something?

I believe Mini-14 with a folding stock was a regulated arm pre-FSA in 2013.

I believe it would have been registered as a so-called "Assault Weapon" on the old pink slip 77r paperwork.

Almost everything on the now banned list was then just regulated.

They added a few more with the copycat rule and it's now a bit hard to separate the two.
