Bolt Action Rifle Ok?

[S6T6]

Ok I've tried to read all the threads on the MD regulated guns, assault rifle and magazine ban, but I'm still confused like I'm sure some of you still are.

My question is in reference to a purchasing a bolt action .223/5.56 cal rifle that has a 10 rd mag (can also use AR mags), has a 16.5" threaded barrel, and a flash hider. Would any of or a combo of these characteristics make it regulated in MD?

The specific gun is the Mossberg MVP Patrol rifle.

Thanks

Bolt action is GTG,feature test is for semi-auto.

Not only can you but you should. A Mosin without grenade launching capabilities is like a day without sun.

Ok Thanx ya'll. I wasn't sure if having the magazine capacity of an AR, a flash hider and threaded barrel, and short barrel jumped it into a regulated gun in this communist state.

You should be good to go.

Considering the purchase of a .308 bolt gun that will have a pistol grip. Have wondered about the new law.

Is a bolt gun (.308) with a pistol grip and fixed stock good?

All Bolt Guns are fine, it doesn't matter their configuration, it doesn't matter their caliber. So long as they come with a 10 round Magazine or less, they are ALL good to go.

Again, the feature test is for Semi-Automatic Rifles ONLY.

Thank you for the info.

Only if you affix a grenade launcher.

Pistol grip is NOT one of the features tests. It was removed from the bill before passage.

Grenade launchers with flash hiders and folding stocks are fine on a BOLT ACTION rifle.

The test starts with SEMI AUTO, CENTER FIRE.

Okay for now but they are coming after you military grade sniper rifles next.

This is only true if the rifle has a bayonet as well.

So how is bolt action defined? Complete manual cycling of the bolt?

What if the rifle automatically cycled the bolt back, but required manual intervention to close? Is such a rifle semi auto? Or nay?

Is it broken?

Hmmm! A surge in Mosin Nagant sales?

This is a scary thought.

Ordered an MVP Patrol with flash hider online last week and it shipped out Thurs. Found it for under $500 so couldn't pass it up. Can't wait till it arrives!

I'd like to hear what kind of rifle you plan on trying this with.
