It's been awhile since anyone on here talked what we can do under Maryland law!
Had a nice chat with my friend over at MSP and it seems like there isn't any updated, MD-specific legal guidance on if/how one can BUILD an AK (7.62x39mm). Here are my notes from that chat:
1) It is illegal to build an AK-47 rifle (7.62x39mm) as these are now roundly banned by state law. Duh.
2) AK-47 pistol are still GTG. Duh.
3) There is some ambiguity about what the definition of an AK-47 pistol is, and my MSP bud speculated there's some kind of length issue around 16".
This last point would mean an AK-47 kit with a 16" inch barrel could not be built as a legal pistol.
Am I right, am I wrong? What am I missing? Someone school me.
