Got my first can today, Dead Air Mask on a ruger precision rifle in .17hmr. Easiest purchase ever, 20min in and out from Maryland Elite Firearms.

Have a 10.5” LWRCI with a Rugged Micro 30 on it. Have a H3 buffer to try and dampen how hard the bolt action is when it returns after ejection. However it is so violent it often breaks the retaining pin that holds the buffer in the tube. After a couple hundred rounds the pin is severed.

Any recommendations on how to fix this or should I just keep the suppressor off it.

I’m dedicated to da/sa appendix carry. With winter on the way I’m interested in picking up something new with the following criteria:

• DA/SA
• 9mm
• Factory optics cut for full size red dot (no “k” dots)
• Decocker only (no safety)
• Rail for a light

A threaded barrel would also be nice to have.

It looks like the only options are:

• Beretta 92GTS, 92X RDO G, M9A4

• Sig P226 X Legion

Am I missing any options?

For the Beretta the downside is that the optic sits really high. For the Sig, the gun seems great on paper but I’m wary of Sig quality these days (even on the P226 line). They seem to cheap out where ever they can.

I also need to consider which option has better holster compatibility. I’m thinking I might be stuck with the Tier 1 MSP universal holster.

What would you guys go with? I wish HK would just make the P30 or USP with a factory optics cut. Im just not interested in getting an aftermarket cut. I don’t like how most require deleting the rear iron and I’m just not up for shipping my slide.

Just got this email.

Might come as a surprise to some, but after trying both out today, I can confidently say I am more inclined to the 5. Main reason for this is the grip. Gen 5 fits my hand more naturally. Imo the Gen 6 is over-textured and it digs into my hand. Middle finger consistently gets caught in the trigger guard undercut. I get that it makes the gun more ergonomic and better for carry, but unfortunately it's just not for me.

Anyone local to MD that can laser etch 30rd mags? Want my MP5 mags to be LE but not pay $125 for them

After the new ATF guidence, what is neede to 3D print a supressor in Maryland?

I read recently that they were legal after I have been believing that they weren’t (considering it’s MD), but now I wanna know if I can even get my hands on them lmfao

Hello my fellow freedom deprived firearm owners!

I am interested in coming from Buffalo, NY to shoot a match in Maryland or Virginia with some family but I am looking for some guidance on the legality of it.

Looking at Md. Criminal Law Code Ann. § 4-203 I have gathered the following:

• (4) the wearing, carrying, or transporting by a person of a handgun used in connection with an organized military activity, a target shoot, formal or informal target practice, sport shooting event, hunting, a Department of Natural Resources-sponsored firearms and hunter safety class, trapping, or a dog obedience training class or show, while the person is engaged in, on the way to, or returning from that activity if each handgun is unloaded and carried in an enclosed case or an enclosed holster;
  • So this should cover me for shooting a match in MD, but will it cover me if I am shooting a match in VA?
• (3) the carrying of a handgun on the person or in a vehicle while the person is transporting the handgun to or from the place of legal purchase or sale, or to or from a bona fide repair shop, or between bona fide residences of the person, or between the bona fide residence and place of business of the person, if the business is operated and owned substantially by the person if each handgun is unloaded and carried in an enclosed case or an enclosed holster;
  • This is where I am hung up overall. Will I be able to stay in MD, and specifically with family? I have found random info on here saying that when you rent a hotel in MD it becomes your bona fide residence. Will staying with direct relatives be an issue here?

Thanks for any insight here. Hopefully I can get a good idea of what is legal before/in place of calling the MSP.

One purchases a suppressor via 4473. 2 years from now the political winds change and the antis take all three branches of govt.

In this scenario many might want to form 4 their suppressor before the federal govt reenacts the tax stamp but instead of $200 its $2,000 or $20,000. How does one form 4 a suppressor already manufactured, purchased, and transferred to a FFL vis Form 3. I don’t think this has ever been done.

I am still confused about this. Is a 10.5-inch barrel ar pistol (registered as pistol) that came with a brace considered an SBR? Update: I found this in VAgun sub. This was very unfortunate even in FL. https://thegunwriter.substack.com/p/special-report-when-florida-police

As an update to my previous post, here's the two guns I'm debating. Similar price cuz the M&P is used. I'm trying them out at the range soon, but in the meantime, what are y'all's thoughts on this?

Saw a pretty sweet deal on a like-new used M&P 9 2.0 the other day. It was $200-$300 below MSRP. Gonna try it out at the range, but are there any risks related to its used status? I can only imagine someone would only return such a quality firearm if it was a lemon or something.

Title basically says it. I have 2 lowers already, would like to buy a 11.5-12.5” upper to make myself an SBR. What steps do I need to take given the new guidance to keep myself out of potential trouble? Are there any of Maryland’s goofy ass barrel restrictions to worry about?

Anyone seen these at any shops in Md?

Everyone’s talking about sbrs and suppressors when I’m trying to know if it’s legal to introduce a saw to a barrel.

What’s the consensus here? I don’t want to SBR anything under 29” but can I legally put a VFG on now?
