First off, sorry if this isnt in the right category, i dont really know where to ask.
I just bought a stripped ar15 lower to start my first build. I would like to go with a 12.5" barrel and a pistol brace on the back. Is that still considered legal in maryland? If its over 26" OAL? i have tried to read up on it as much as possible and its confusing me to say the least. From what i understood it was no longer a pistol if i had a brace and a barrel that long, now it would be considered a firearm. I know i can SBR it eventually if i want to put a stock on it but i would prefer to legally avoid that for now if possible. it seems legal federally from what ive learned but wanted to double check here before i waste $$$ and have to SBR it anyway. Can someone lead me in the right direction to find that info.
