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.

And I never said or implied I was going to "skirt" the 10-round mag
limit. I explained how it could be done, and easily, but that is common
knowledge and I didn't say I was going to do it. I have no need for
centerfire rifle mags that hold more than 10 rounds.


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.


Like I said, you have a loophole gun.

D'oh. Once again, you demonstrate that you read stuff on the internet,
but you don't understand what you read.

SB0623 Maryland Assault Weapons Ban of 2013

"Designating specified firearms as assault weapons; prohibiting with
specified exceptions a person from transporting an assault weapon into
the State or possessing, selling, offering to sell, transferring,
purchasing, or receiving an assault weapon; requiring the Handgun
Roster Board to compile and maintain a roster of prohibited assault
weapons; etc.

In the text of the bill there are dozens of references to "copycat"
guns. It is clear what they wanted to ban. They just do not have a
clue what it is.

If they decide to add his Bushmaster knock off to the roster, I wonder
if he will turn it in to the police or simply take it over to Virginia
and sell it in a parking lot.



That's funny because it once again demonstrates your ability to Google
and inability to understand what you find.

The ancestry, as it were, of my AR is Colt out of ArmaLite, not Colt out
of Bushmaster. Bushmasters are the knock-off rifles. Colt bought the
designs directly from ArmaLite. I'm not sure, but I believe the sale of
new Bushmaster AR-15 style rifles is verboten in Maryland. It and many
other brands are considered the copycats. I haven't Googled that,
because it just isn't important to me.

Anyone, even you, if you lived here, could buy an AR-15 lower in
Maryland through an FFL and finish it off into a rifle with a 16" HBAR
and have yourself a new AR-15. The .308 battle rifles, by the way,
aren't on the forbidden list, and neither are the .300 Blackouts.

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

..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.

Yeah, but does it give one 'biggest dick' rights, which is apparently

While I am sure my dick is bigger than yours and unlike yours, still
works, I don't have a rifle that shoots .308. Still wondering whether
you can hit the front page of a newspaper from 25 yards shooting offhand
with your latest popguns.

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.

Simply a testament as to how stupid Maryland lawmakers are.
Why even pass an ineffective law like that?



Gee, Greg, I simply don't know. If I were you, I'd be more concerned
about the fact that your current governor is a crook whose company had
to pay the largest fine for fraud in the history of the United States
and who pled the Fifth Amendment what, 75 times?

In terms of understanding Maryland gun laws, I'm not as anal as you are,
I suppose. When I got interested in getting an AR, I checked with my
favorite LGS, and was told I could legally buy a certain Colt AR. I
called one of the friendly state troopers at the barracks that handles
firearms paperwork, and was told the same thing. That was good enough
for me. When I opened up the rifle box at the LGS, I noticed that Colt
had tucked in a 10-round mag from Magpul instead of the usual 20 or 30
round mag.

It is just a form of self flagellation.
It is like the Charter .44 mag.



Got a lot of trigger time on a .308 carbine, eh? I presume W'hine meant
"AR style lower and upper," because the .308 "frame" is larger and
heavier than the 5.56 "frame."
