I'm in PA, but fairly confident on my answers provided.
Md residents can now buy stripped lowers again, so you can gift one to your friend. He would have to build an HBAR only. I think the other profiles are banned now. 80% lowers can be completed. |

Since md does not define what a hbar is, pretty much anything outside of lightweight build is fine.

So basically all AR15s now no matter caliber must be an HBAR using colts barrel as the standard? I have a customer wanting a 6.8 for hunting purposes so I'm trying to research this for him. Does anyone possibly have a link to the laws describing the new restrictions.
Thanks, Brett |

Since The term HBAR lacks a specific definition, any barrel can be stamped by the manufacturer of the rifle as an HBAR. This is per a meeting of FFLs with MSP about the time that it was decided that a stripped lower can be sold in MD. Since you are the manufacturer when you build from a lower, you can stamp the HBAR on the barrel yourself.
I am not a lawyer. This information was relayed to me by several FFL holders that attended the meeting mentioned above. This is not legal advice. Check with your FFL before proceeding with this course of action. |

Only 5.56 is needs to be HBAR or pistol. |

If your buddy wants to put a piston-system upper on it, I think it falls outside the whole HBAR thing.
And "variants" in calibers other than 556/223 are also OK. |
