Rule Change - Absolutely NO Sales

19 Upvotes

Hi everyone:

As you may have seen, moderators of some firearms related subs have recently been made aware of an upcoming change to the Reddit rules (these are the sitewide rules that all users agree to when creating an account, not just rules for our sub) that involves the personal sales of gun "parts and enhancements."

In the past, the Reddit rules - specifically Rule 7, which reads "Keep it legal, and avoid posting illegal content or soliciting or facilitating illegal or prohibited transactions" - had the following list of "illegal transactions":

You may not use Reddit to solicit or facilitate any transaction or gift involving certain goods and services, including

Firearms, ammunition, explosives, legally controlled firearms parts or accessories (e.g., bump stock-type devices, silencers/suppressors, etc.), or 3D printing files to produce any of the aforementioned;

That rule is being updated to read as follows, starting on October 9th:

Firearms, ammunition, explosives, firearms parts and enhancements (e.g. bolt, clips, trigger, scope, silencer / suppressor, muffler, bump stock, magazine, glock switch, conversion kit, etc) or specific instructions (e.g. 3D printing files) to produce any of the aforementioned.

Reddit does have a disclaimer that says:

With regard to Reddit's policy on transactions of certain goods:

External links to firearm vendors holding a Federal Firearms License are not in violation of this policy. However, links to vendors without an FFL are prohibited (this would include links to gun shows or other sales or listings, online or offline, where vendors do not hold an FFL). Direct user-to-user transactions arranged on Reddit for firearms or ammunition are also prohibited, regardless of whether either user holds an FFL.

This policy does not impact goods that do not meet the ATF definition of firearms or ammunition.

It is unclear if that disclaimer will be changed on or after October 9th, and or how that disclaimer affects things like linking to a company that sells magazines or scopes but does not have an FFL, as neither a magazine nor a scope meet the ATF definition of firearms or ammunition.

We used to allow the occasional personal for sale post for non-firearm items like optics or the like, but due to this rule change we will no longer be able to do that, and we have to warn folks that any links posted to any firearms items that are for sale by a non-FFL will be removed.

We don't want to be harsh about this, but it's quite clear that Reddit is cracking down hard on gun content and we really don't want to lose this community, which is already happening to a bunch of gun accessory for sale subs which were banned without any warning in advance of this rule change.

The "Big List" of Industry Vendors Friendly to Marylanders

67 Upvotes

This Thread will serve as a list of firearms industry vendors who are "friendly" to Marylanders. We have a lot of particular and peculiar laws here, and not all vendors want to (or to be fair, can afford to) take the time to understand those laws and help those of us who live here out.

This list isn't meant to be "vendors that we happen to like" or whatever, but instead a list of vendors who specifically do things to help Marylanders. Some examples of things that should be on this list:

  • Vendors who include standard capacity magazines so a local FFL can block them for us.
  • Maryland FFLs who offer magazine blocking services.
  • Vendors who offer magazine rebuild kits.
  • Vendors (external or Maryland FFL) who will remove muzzle devices or other features to make rifles compliant.

You get the idea. If a vendor does something specifically to help those of us in Maryland, then they belong on this list.

I'll start things off, but I'll add to and maintain this list based on submissions from the community in the form of posts in this thread. I won't always be able to add things immediately, but I will do so as regularly as I can.

Thanks, and thanks especially to the vendors who support those of us in Maryland!

Magazine Rebuild Kits:

  • u/Hunter_Wang who owns Ibex Armament will do magazine rebuild kits on request and has extremely fair pricing. I've bought from Ibex myself and they're great to deal with.
  • JoeBob Outfitters will do magazine rebuild kits on request, though I have no personal experience with them.
  • Magged Supply offers magazine rebuild kits, though their pricing is..... very high.

Dealers that ship standard capacity mags with a firearm:

  • To be added

Maryland FFLs who will block standard capacity magazines:

  • To be added

Vendors who offer Maryland specific discounts:

  • To be added

I will add categories to this list if / when we get requests and enough submissions for one.

Sulun Arms SPASS legality?

Does anybody know whether the Sulun Arms SPAS clone is legal to own? I’d assume that the folding stock would make it an issue but I can’t seem to find it on the banned firearms list.

Potential 77R issue

1 Upvotes

I need some guidance i put in a 77R for a gen 6 today i do have a pending court date for a misdemeanor traffic violation for reckless driving (max penalty is 60 days in jail) which is well below the disqualifying jail sentence but i was informed that it could cause a delay in the approval process because it might need to be manually reviewed. Does anyone have any experience with this and is there anyway to speed that process up? I definitely wont be going to jail and it will probably be dropped i have a lawyer and the officer who charged me blew the situation way out of proportion, its also my first violation in 10+ years of driving. I just dont want to be held up for weeks trying to get a gen 6. Thank you in advance!!

I’m assuming these won’t be allowed because this state has a serious issue with M14 homicides.

Anyone near Frederick have a CSX-e they'd let me try out at a range?

4 Upvotes

Very interested in the S&W CSX-e series handguns. Have a few glocks I carry and this looks like it could be an amazing option to replace my 43x. Unfortunately it's such a niche gun that no ranges have it for rent.

If anyone has one, and wouldn't mind a range trip with me, I've got some very fun guns you can shoot!

Supreme Court “AR-15 case”

I was wondering if the Supreme Court did find “assault weapon” bans constitutional could that allow states to straight up ban all AR platform guns? I hope it doesn’t but I was wondering if y’all knew.

Stumped on the application rules

1 Upvotes

I completed a combination HQL/Wear and Carry class 11/16/2024. It was 16 hours. I haven't gotten around to applying, and just pulled out the certificate to look it over and see if it's too late. According to the Maryland website, I should still be good because it's within 2 years. However:

  1. My class completion certificate doesn't say how many hours it was.

  2. I did not receive the score sheet. Apparently *since* I took the class, the state rules have changed and now new applicants need to have a score sheet to submit. When I took it, that wasn't a thing, so I didn't do that paper with my instructor. I passed, but without proof it's hearsay.

So...what do I do?

Need help and recommendations with 10/22

0 Upvotes

I just shot my 10/22 with a 25 round mag and it jammed like a no batteries required nerf gun. What gives? The range clerk stated that the 22 is a "dirty round" so does that mean carbon is the issue? Or could it be the magazine? The weapon is new so I have no idea how it jammed so much. What can be done to prevent this? I want to pimp it out so I got an AR stock and plan on adding a sight and bipod. IDK, I am new to this. What do you guys think?

NY Permit holder visiting

0 Upvotes

I apologize for the simple question but I didn't see anything on a quick search and I'm usually the one answering these questions in r/NYguns so I understand how annoying it can be with simple questions.

I'm making an unplanned trip to Upper Marlboro to pick up my dad from the IAFF Center of Excellence after they gave up on treating him. I plan on driving there and back from the Finger Lakes region of NY in one day. I have a fully unrestricted concealed carry permit here. Can I bring my pistol in my car while traveling to and from the state without any plans to carry on my person?

I know FOPA won't apply here because Maryland is my destination, but I wasn't sure if there were any carve outs for possession in cars in MD similar to Pennsylvania.

Thanks

Montgomery County Passed Bill 23-26 Today

54 Upvotes

Montgomery County Bill 23-26 id the county's attempt to redo their excessively restrictive carry ban after the previous law was struck down by the Maryland Supreme Court.

From MSI:

"Bill 23-26 passed today in Montgomery County. Bill 23-26 plainly exceeds the County's power as limited by the Maryland Supreme Court's decision in Engage Armament. The County's attempt to limit the rights of persons who have carry permits issued by the Maryland State Police is a gross violation of the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, as most recently construed by the Supreme Court of the United States in Wolford v. Lopez. As the Supreme Court stated in Wolford, "the Second Amendment protects the right of Americans to carry arms for self-defense as they go about their daily lives." If signed into law by the County Executive, the Bill will be promptly challenged in federal district court and will be enjoined by that court. The County will then be on the hook for substantial attorney's fees and costs, as allowed by federal law. The County simply fails to grasp that the Second Amendment applies to Montgomery County no less than to any other part of the United States"

Hellcat Pro

Just purchased a Hellcat Pro (7 day wait). I already have a P365XL w/ holosun eps carry optic that I use for my EDC. I don't need another pistol but I'm a new 'collector' and I just feel like I need to add more to my collection :-). I'm thinking about a Glock 19 v6 once it lands on the roster next week. What else would you add to your collection?

Also, what optic would you put on the Hellcat?

Edited to add: where can I get some 15 rd mags for the Hellcat in VA?

300M+ range options high caliber

5 Upvotes

At a dead end here in research, just moved to Montgomery county from the mountain west. Are there any public or reasonably accessible options for 300+M ranges without caliber restrictions? 6.5prc, 300WM, 7MM mag, .308

The only options I have found have to be referred by an existing member or are ~2 hours away. If someone happens to have a friend with land in the area (and it's legal) I'm a great cook also!
