Complete lower quesion

[Cordite]

Having decided to enter the 21st century, I am going to build my AR-15. Is it true that a complete lower cannot be shipped into Maryland, even to a dealer, or is that bunk? I know what I want but am told it can't be shipped here. I thought I could just work through one of our industry partners. Any info or advice?

Just has to go to an FFL (dealer).

If it goes to an FFL you're fine...

I would love to know who told the OP such garbage.

BTW, why is this in the NFA section? A lower isn't NFA. You just have to fill out the 77R form as well as the 4473, just like buying a handgun or other regulated longarm.

May I suggest that you contact some of the IP's and see what they have in stock. Some will have complete lowers in stock.

Get a fully assembled spikes lower from gun connection. Superb pricing and great service.

I put it here because I didn't know where else to put it. The Bravo Company has complete lowers with cosmetic blemish on it for reduced prices. If you clock on the order form link for them, it says on the form that they cannot ship to: CA; MA, MD; NY or NJ.

Thanks for the info, gents.

Just use an ffl dealer. That is how I got mine.

They may be one of those online dealers that think they cannot send to MD. You could call and try and have a logical discussion with them, but be prepared if they stand tough. Then just deal with a Industry Partner with the same specs and see how that goes.

ETA: "can not" may mean "will not".

BCM will send to MD, they've done so in the past, their form just hasn't been updated. If you want to order a complete BCM lower from elsewhere try here at g&r tactical, they have both blemish and non-blemish BCM lowers. They'll ship to MD as well.

Thank you, sirs.

+1 for ordering a BCM complete lower from G&R. I just did that, and I'm now waiting the 7 days. G&R shipped fast, like next day. I also paid for rush shipping for an extra $30. Couldn't be easier.

If you read the law, the lower isn't even regulated... only pistols and assault rifles on the list are... receivers are neither assault rifles nor are they pistols.

Still, you won't find an FFL in this state who will transfer it without the 77R for obvious reasons... Fear of the bureaucracy.

Mark, very true. I just write it that way because no FFL will risk it.
