So where can you find an HBAR barrel less than 16-inches these days?

FIFY...
.
To sum it up, I think removing the braces would be the easiest, short term, solution.
Still confused on the folding stock. This would have to be pinned as well if you are using it to meet the 29” overall length, right?
Im debating on just listing my CZ scorpion on Gun Broker now before the new proposed brace rules come out and trying to get what I can. Maybe replace it with something fun to shoot like a Shadow 2 pistol. I don’t see much point in trying to add a long stock to make an 8 inch barrel MD compliant.
NO, a folding stock does NOT need to be pinned when measured. It just needs to be extended.
So to come full circle on this thread, are SBR's legal in MD?
Do you know where it is written that the measurement should be made with stock fully extended and not collapsed?Yes.
Centerfire semi autos must be over 29" in length. That measurement is to be taken with the stock unfolded or telescopic stock(as in AR 15 carbine stocks) extended all the way out.
All other types of actions, bolt, single shot, rimfire, etc, do not require a minimum length.

Start with a minimum 16" barrel and end up with this ^^^Yes if over 29 inches in OAL I own one at 29.5 inches
It is considered a handgun for carry and transport

A pre 10/ 13 SBR is grandfathered from the FSA requirements . One that was already an SBR before 10/ 13 , not one subsequently made from a pre '13 reciever .
Yes but what happens if an ar is sbr'ed with a 12.5 barrel making it long enough per MD law. Then federally its legal to change the upper to a 8 inch barrel, if its a short term swap no need to notify the ATF. The atf does not say once it has a 12.5 barrel it has to have a 12.5 barrel. Is the stamp voided, no. Now its just not legal per maryland, you could go to PA ( with the proper paperwork ) and put on a 8 inch barrel and shoot it perfectly legally. Question is how many cops would even know that technically putting on the 8 inch barreled upper on approved sbr would be a no no in MD.ATF won't approve a Form 1 that is not in compliance with state law .
