I live in WV, do most of my shooting at my mom's in MD. I make sure to only take ARs legal in MD, but I have a couple Form 1s pending, is there anything I need to do to legally take them into Maryland, beyond the ATF notification? A form 5 I think?

Thanks

Your transportation form is going to be a 5320.20 "Application to transport interstate..." and that would get you covered regarding paperwork.

Maryland does have a minimum length of 29" for semi-auto SBRs that I would *guess* applies to bringing AR-type rifles in. You might research the specific law about how that is measured and what it applies to, or someone with better knowledge of the specifics can chime in..

Possession of a centerfire rifles under 29" oal is banned.
A centerfile rifle can only have 1 of the following or it is banned; folding stock, flash hider, grenade launcher.

These are called the copycat features and are held to apply to SBRs in MD.

Thanks for the info, I will stick with just bringing my Ruger AR556 into MD. As its an HBAR, non SBR, from my understanding they're MD legal still.
