Can I legally purchase these in MD? Reason is I wanted to build a 5.7x28mm pistol AR, I believe you cannot purchase a rifle caliber in MD like the 223 but I was wondering about other calibers?

Question for the wise ones:
For me to buy a barrel or upper that has a barrel under 16". Do those have to be transferred via an FFL? I was thinking of heading up to Dan's and register the lower as an SBR.
There is at least one .223 pistol on the roster, so we know it is possible another one could be on the roster someday.
Which .223 is that? I haven't seen one on the list yet?

Confusedfrom what I have been told:
barrels/uppers are not regulated or registered. you can have them shipped to your house. BUT possessing such an item at the same time as you possess a non-SBR lower to put it on, could get you in trouble w/ the atf as you have intent to create an unregistered sbr. usually the advice given says dont buy the short barrel till after you have the paperwork back on your SBR
as for turning the lower into a SBR look here for help

http://www.stephenhalbrook.com/tc.htmlOn June 8, 1992, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the Contender pistol and carbine kit are not a short-barreled rifle under the National Firearms Act, 26 U.S.C. §5845(a)(3). This means that a consumer may possess the pistol with its 10" barrel and may use the kit parts to make a rifle with the 21" barrel, as long as the shoulder stock is not assembled onto the receiver at the same time as the 10" barrel.
If the Australian Automatic Arms SAP is legal I don't see the logic for not allowing the AR15 pistols, Sig 556's, or PLR-16. I noticed the list hasn't been updated in years, maybe it's just a matter of an updated list.?.?
Confused
So if you have one standard ar and one sbr but you own two sbr uppers is it a violation
IT almost sounds that if you owned an ar and an ar pistol you would be in violation because the parts could be switched back and forth
