Are lowers still good to go? Have they now gone from being regulated to cash-and-carry since the only way you can legally build them up is to put an HBAR on them?

I saw that my local dealer is selling 80%s, so I'm wondering, initially I assumed you wouldn't be able to buy a lower anymore.

MSP has said they're not legal, the only exception might be a lower which says "Colt AR-15 Sporter HBAR"....or whatever the caveat is in the banned list.

An 80pct lower is another gray area...buying one should be fine, but making a gun from it after October 1st wouldn't be kosher.

80% lowers are technically paperweights so they're still legal as just paperweights. Though who can prove it was made before or after Oct 1st is anyone's guess. I would say cash and no paper trail would be advisable if you go that route.

If the lower is intended for use with a BOLT ACTION rifle, how it is treated?

What about AR-15 pistols in MD?

MD does not give any consideration to "intent".
