Sorry, Greg, but you are just plain wrong...again. The model of Colt
AR15 I have has been manufactured for a long, long time, and predates
Maryland's banning the sale of many other ARs. The rifle was not
"carefully crafted" to skirt Maryland law.


Before 1994 when the model AWB was written?

Gosh, Gregster, I don't know and I'm not going to waste any time dredging
it up. I do know someone who has the same model AR15 I have, and he
bought his used after the turn of the century. His has the carry
handle...mine does not. He kept his Colt A2 sight and forend grips, and I
shaved down my sight and went with a rail system. Other than the changes
I made, and the carry handle, the rifles appear identical. Oh, and the
roll stamp on the side of his receiver is different.


The law is a joke and the gun was made to skirt the law.
How is adding a flash suppressor or a bayonet lug going to make it
more dangerous.?

Are you talking about the Maryland law, which is the only one that
interests me? The model AR I have was specifically exempted by model name
from the Maryland law. Mine had the bayonet lug, but I shaved it off.
Also has a flash suppressor as standard equipment, perfectly legal.


I bet the law makers in Maryland thought they were banning that gun.
They are just to stupid to know what they were banning and what they
weren't.


Nope. The model I have was specifically exempted. Now, don't forget to
remind me that I *could* buy larger cap mags in Virginia if I wanted to,
but, as I told you previously, I have no need or interest in them. I
don't try to empty mags as quickly as I can, and I don't mind reloading
them. Decent rounds are 31 cents each, after all, and blowing off one a
second is not the sort of shooting I do or enjoy.

Have nice day.



If Maryland is anything like California. You can not buy or be given a
greater than 10 round Mag. Especially buy out of state and bring in.

.300 blackout is better than ok on an AR-15 frame. Bullet is close to a a
.308, pretty much identical to a 7.62 Sov, but not as big a powder
charge. I've never shot a .308 rifle, AR-15 style or otherwise.


Bad choice of rounds. If similar to 308, would be a heck of a lot cheaper
to shoot. Or a 7.62 Russian. Lots cheaper to buy a military round than a
wildcat..

Naw, I quickly marked it off as due to your diminished faculties and moved on.
My condolences to Mrs Herring.

She keeps suggesting new hobbies to get her creepy husband out of the house

You really have a hard time criticizing any one's hobby when yours is
tiptoeing around an assault weapons ban that you profess to support by
doing modifications to a rifle they intended to outlaw. The only
reason you seem to have for it is to spray the Shanandoah valley with
spent 5.56 rounds and broken bits of plastic.
If that is all you want to do you need one of these.

What assault weapons ban am I tiptoeing around, pray tell? I don't own
any "assault weapons." I do have a few semi-auto rifles. None of the
firearms I own are banned in my state.

I have three ranges I can shoot my rifles at, all within about 20-30
miles or so of here, and one of them is an indoor range.

None of the rifles I have are modified in any way that would make them
illegal. Adding an ambi safety, a red dot sight, or modifying a gas block
does not make the rifles fire automatically.

According to the government assault rifles only have to look nasty.
Nothing about select fire.



Didn't you recently buy a S&W variant of an AR-15?


Yup. And it gets around the "assault rifle" ban by having a bullet button,
and flash suppressor is welded on. Lots of others, including the original
AR's are banned. On looks. You can own a pre ban AR if you both owned it
before the ban and registered the gun. Very much anti 2nd admendment.
Hell my Remington 7400 30.06 is more deadly than the AR's .223. Except my
7400 was known as the Jamomatic. Is all on looks, perception. Like the no
hunting Mountain Lions in this state. They are not endangered, they are a
danger, and have about wiped out the endangered desert Big Horn Sheep. Is
perception of. a cuddly cat. Snerk.

May be more enjoyable than a bolt action 308.

If you live in Maryland and travel out of state, you can legally buy

so...in that regard, Maryland and California are not alike.

..300 aac blackout is a wildcat no longer.
Just got an email alert for .300 blackout rounds for about .32
each...price is dropping rapidly.

I don't like or use Russian ammo.
