Gotta love Marylandistan - viable arguments can be made either way. It's an HBAR, which if it was a cash and carry purchase would be perfectly legal, for now anyway. However, he built it on a stripped lower. I only have one stripped lower, and it's regulated - I had to transfer it and do the 7 day wait as if it had been an actual pistol/firearm, in which case if I ever want to try to sell it as a rifle - and mine's an HBAR upper too - I'd have to transfer it to the buyer...or at least I think that's how it works. IANAL.
But how would Maryland know what you built it into? When it was transferred to you, that lower with that serial number was in effect back-door "registered" to you - Maryland assumes you have it. They don't know what you did with it. If it goes to someone else, does it not make sense that because that lower receiver was regulated and transferred as if it was a firearm, that it would have to be transferred to the buyer? The buyer has the right to do whatever they want to with it, not including stripping it back down and building it into a pistol.
Uuuh, only if it is HBAR.
If not HBAR, it is banned.
Banned is regulated.
BGOS? I've been around the internet forums for a while, but this one is a new one on me - Big Girls on Skateboards?
