Sorry to rehash a sore subject to Marylanders. I just cannot figure out exactly what AR15 style rifles that I can buy legally under present MD law? I would really like to build an AR-15 A3 from parts kits, but it is hard to find an online dealer who will ship these parts to MD. I have tried both Sportsman Guide & CTD, neither ship to MD. Any and all help, suggestions or recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance. Any AR-15 rifle with an HBAR barrel (better if the barrel is marked as such) Just head on down to Engage Armament in Rockville, they will build whatever kind of HBAR AR-15 you want. |

You're good to go with any HBAR or AR pistol. Some vendors don't ship parts here, find ones that do. Tell us where you're located and we can recommend a good shop to help you out.

Thanks to all who responded. The Colt HBAR looks good.
One more question please. If I wanted to build my own AR15 platform rifle would there be the same feature restrictions as buying one? |

only if there was a store that sold guns, I imagine you could probably find a handful of md compliant rifles.

I belive you can build any sort of AR10 you want. Same goes for any piston-operated AR (as opposed to DI. You know what I mean.)
An HBAR is cash-and-carry after NICS. A single-shot built on an AR receiver is cash and carry. So theoretically, an FFL should sell a lower cash and carry-including an out of state FFL. In theory anyway. But it is only the law. |

What about building an 80% lower? Do all of the same guidelines apply to that as do a regulated lower?

With that being said, would somebody in the know mind letting me know if what i have planned is legal? I've tried doing my own research and it appears as though I'm all good, but i want to be sure I don't violate any regs. Anderson 80% lower BCM upper/14.5" barrel w/ welded muzzle device bringing the barrel length to 16" milspec 6 pos. buffer tube and Magpul CTR stock Thanks in advance! |

Since you didn't own the lower before Oct 1 2013, you can only put an hbar upper on it. |

I'm fairly certain BCM doesn't sell 14.5 inch HBAR barrels. Or in any other size. Skimming their website seems to confirm this. |

I've owned the lower for over 2 years. Just haven't done anything with it. I have no way to prove that as it was a cash and carry deal.

If that is the case (and I believe you) then the BCM barrel is a no-go. Looks like even Bushmaster doesn't carry HBAR 14.5s anymore. Best bet - get a Bushmaster 16" HBAR, then send it to ADCO to cut it to length and permanently attach the muzzle device. BTW the muzzle device may not be a flash suppressor. |
