This is an industry partner located in Hollywood MD. He has stripped lowers in stock.

transfer fees

Buy from your local gun shop. A lower would have to go through a MD FFL anyway,

and with transfer fees, you will probably pay more doing a transfer, unless you get a higher end lower not sold at most local ISP. I like CMTTac but no one around here sells. Same with some Raniers. CMTTac is around $190 or more.

No! Do NOT do this!

It won't fall on deaf lefty ears, it will fall on the ears of people who are looking for every possible angle to make this WORSE. Filling them in on the details just gives them a more target-rich environment. Do not make things worse. Just shop with companies that want your business (there are plenty) and otherwise just grin and bear it with regard to how much the recent panic buying has cleaned things out. It's happened before, and it will happen again.

So, you are advocating that folks stop participating in the legislative process? If that is the logic, I guess my role as the Chair and Lobbyist for the MSRPA is fruitless.

I just discovered it is no longer possible to order ammunition from Academy Sporting Goods on their web site. There goes my source for cheap(ish) 9x18 Mak...

No, I'm not saying that (or, you know, I'd have said that in plain language). I'm saying that informing the far-left gun-grabbing liberals who completely own the General Assembly and who have dedicated themselves to stripping away your rights - about the details surrounding some vendors' refusal to ship to Maryland is the opposite of helpful.

You can't possibly have meant what you said, suggesting that those same people who hate you and your gun owning ways might show an interest in making it easier for out of state vendors to ship gun-related stuff to you in Maryland.

can this be used for a lawsuit stating that it indeed does impede the right to own firearms, even legal in the State's eyes?

unfortunately, Cali ruined it for everyone when they sued online retailers and won. (ironically they sued over regular capacity magazines which the 9th circuit just ruled as legal)

now, online mfrs are leery about shipping potentially illegal things to states with retarded gun laws.

blame Cali and the MD lunacy

I think the problem is a complete lower. I know a few local shops have stripped lowers, but one of the guys at a local store is trying to build up one of the lowers to a complete gun and he is saying he can’t even find a decent lower parts kit in stock anywhere...

Palmetto canceled my complete lower to my FFL, they said that by law they cannot ship complete lowers to MD only stripped lowers

Applehd · Sep 1, 2020

My last 2 complete PSA lowers came from the Gun Shop in Essex... it's been a while.

M1014 · Sep 1, 2020

That's strange, Palmetto shipped me stripped lowers not too long ago.

Unless they have changed recently Sarco will not sell a C&R firearm to a MD C&R license holder.

I’m sympathetic to these business people, but if we can force bakers to bake gay wedding cakes, I don’t see how people have the option of not selling legal products to Marylanders.

the gay couple had liberal lawyers jumping all over to try that case for free to stick it to the poor baker that had real values. That doesn't exist for 2nd Amendment nor will the NRA stop their frivolous vacations at members expense to even consider it.

Yup- they were my go to for ammo as well. Free shipping over 25 always crushed the rest of the goof balls like sgammo or palmetto trying to charge 12-16 dollars to ship ammo.

They making midway look good lol

Boyds won't sell thumbhole stocks to Maryland. Screw them I won't buy anymore stocks from them.

Hmmm... I'll have to investigate them for ammo. Their sales on ancillary stuff have always been too tempting.

Several years ago PSA jerked me around for weeks over an M&P 10. I was a routine customer up until that point and then went many years before I bought so much as a peanut from them.

I did purchase a few VA-15 lowers in support of VCDL back in January 2020, PSA had no issue shipping to my FFL.

I'm fitting a Boyd's Thumb-hole stock to a m700.
The guy that bought it lives in Talbot county.

I heard the same thing, they wouldn't sell to MD but maybe they changed their tune?

It was shipped about two-weeks ago.
I was surprised the action mortise was actually straight with the barrel channel so maybe they're getting better.

I have had several experiences recently where companies won’t ship legal products to Maryland.

(1) Palmetto State Armory held onto my money for two months before they decided they weren’t going to ship an H-BAR 300 Blackout AR-15 to my FFL.

(2) At the same time, Palmetto canceled an order for an AR-15 lower.

(3) Optics Planet won’t ship ammunition of any kind to Maryland.

(4) Vendors won’t ship <10 round magazines to Maryland, even though they’re legal.

Companies aren't punishing Marylanders, MARYLAND is. Place blame where it belongs. Few states have laws as fluid and screwed up as it does
