Regulated guns/hand guns require 2 FFLs, (a FFL from BOTH STATES) to complete the transfer.
Federal laws apply to sales across state lines...
FFL IS REQUIRED...
The sale can take place via a in state or out of state FFL.
You may choose a Md. FFL or a FFL in the state of the buyers residence.
Face to face sales are to same state residents only.
Regulated guns/hand guns require 2 FFLs, (a FFL from BOTH STATES) to complete the transfer.
"Regulated" guns is a Maryland only thing.
Federally, it is only handguns that you need worry about, and they do NOT require an FFL on both ends - only in the state of residence of the purchaser. You, as a seller, can ship or deliver the handgun to an FFL (if they are willing to receive a gun from a non-FFL) in the state of residence of the purchaser, and they can handle the transfer.
No, interstate transfers of long guns require an FFL to be involved. This is Federal law, GCA 86.
Handguns require the FFL to be in the state of residence of the buyer.
Long gun FFL can be in any state. As long as the transaction is legal in that state.

Regulated guns/hand guns require 2 FFLs, (a FFL from BOTH STATES) to complete the transfer.No, if it is a currently banned long gun, the transfer MUST occur at an FFL OUTSIDE of MD.
Federal law requires the transaction to be legal both in the state it occurs AND the state of residence of the buyer.
So an MD FFL cannot transfer a banned firearm to anyone other than another FFL.
Not required. If the out of state FFL will accept the firearm from an individual (either in person or shipped), then only one FFL is needed.
And that is up to the receiving FFL to accept from an individual or not.

While this question might be a bit out of left field for what this thread is talking about, I'm curious to know whether swapping a barrel out in an AR would affect its status. For instance, HBARs are not banned or regulated, so could a person take an AR, swap in a heavy barrel, thus making it an HBAR, and change the legal status of the firearm?
In short, yes.
If you own a pre-2013 AR that is in a now-banned configuration (legal for you to keep, but not legal to sell in Maryland) you can swap an HBAR or an HBAR upper on to it and sell it as an HBAR rifle. That can be done face-to-face with another Maryland resident, of if selling to a resident of another state, it must go through an FFL.
If the buyer is a MD resident, they are NOT allowed to make it back into a now-banned configuration. It must stay an HBAR.
BUT The complicating factor is that you now have a previously regulated rifle registered in your own name. What you are suggesting, should be legal, but could possibly raise and issue with MSP.
Simple - money.This may be a dumb question, but if you have an AR that is now banned, why would you sell it? Especially if you aren't planning on moving out of Maryland any time soon.
If you wish to disagree with me on something... Please pick something I actually said in the post that you disagree with.
I did not mention "banned guns" in that post. My comments were only about those guns which would be legal for Maryland residents to purchase and bring into the state.
Hmm, maybe because the title of the thread is "selling AR out of state."
Federal laws apply to sales across state lines...
Hmmm...
Maybe you should re-read my post that you quoted in you prior response...
Pay attention to the FIRST line...
Here it is for you again:
And according to Federal Law, STATE laws apply also, for the state of the transaction and the state of residence of the buyer.
Therefore an MD FFL cannot sell some firearms to an out of state resident.
And the reason this may apply is, THE THREAD IS ABOUT SELLING AN AR, which in most configurations is BANNED IN MD.
