Duh, that's what Atlantic is trying to change.Straight from the MdSP website:
"Century Arms Century Arms C308 Banned Copy of an enumerated banned assault weapon."
https://mdsp.maryland.gov/Organizat...LicensingDivision/Firearms/FirearmSearch.aspx
You can buy a C32 in 7.62 x 39 though.
Your original link sent me to the ad and the price was in the mid $500's. Now $639?
That's still a good price.

Please remember two things about that website:
1. MSP themselves have said, in writing, in response to a lawsuit, that the list on that website is NOT legally binding and is presented only as "helpful information" to those wanting to make a purchase, and that the final decision is up to the FFL.
2. MSP has frequently in the past revised that website based on submissions form FFLs (and maybe private citizens, though I'm not sure on that one) where there's a situation like this where a rifle listed as banned should not be based on the interchangeable parts rule. (Which is itself, of course, only a decision made by MSP since the law doesn't define what a "copy" of a banned rifle is.)
I would imagine that should Atlantic Guns get in touch with the proper person at MSP and submit information showing that the C308 is not parts interchangeable with a G3 because it uses a different bolt, etc, that MSP would likely reverse that decision. In any case, by MSPs own guidance it's up to the FFL anyways.

I'm showing it's still banned.
Oh well, Atlantic still gets a "A" for effort.
What effort? Did they submit?
I thought they did (?) o/w what was the point of this thread?
"Unfortunately they are banned in MD but Atlantic Firearms is going to submit to MSP that these are not a copy of the G3 because the CETME came before the G3 and not all G3 parts will interchange with the C308."
