No. But if you put a vertical foregrip on it, it's considered an AOW.
Not if OAL is over 26"

No, Federal SBR approval is contingent on meeting MD's minimum length. For MD applicants, the gun has to be legal in MD to be approved as an SBR.

Is this with butt stock fully extended? Is 29” just MD? What about SBR length in free states?Yes they are. The one issue with MD is a centerfire SBR must have a minimum OAL of 29".
What Maryland entity has oversight of a Form 1 application?No, Federal SBR approval is contingent on meeting MD's minimum length. For MD applicants, the gun has to be legal in MD to be approved as an SBR.
Im pretty confident that ATF will also stipulate anything less than 26 inch OAL will be considered an AOW even without a foregrip, after braces are ruled illegal. There is an ATF opinion letter from July 2019 suggesting this.No. But if you put a vertical foregrip on it, it's considered an AOW.

This is going to suck for people with 8.5" barrels on a braced pistol.....they'll either be out money or have to spend money to comply.
They will be able to use or sell to other states.
= time + $ for something they legally owned previously.

This thread talks through it. Another member said he did the same thing in 2018.

BTW, is that an F-14 in your membership photo?
If things do go bad hopefully the new demand for SBRs spurs development of a fold to side collapsing stock with very long length of pull.
One option would be a 3d printed AR receiver that has something like an integral BetterMag, which is a device that lets you use 15-22 mags in a normal AR15 receiver with your 22lr conversion kit. With that fused into the magazine well, there would be no way to use a centerfire magazine so it would be exempt from MD's 29" rule.
Folder is an evil feature, so no flash hider (or suppressor) can be used.
