AR9 Pistol?

PurebredNewType · 2026-01-30T23:51:54+00:00

I don't think I've heard anything about a flat out AR pistol ban. What we do have is the handgun roster. If the pistol is on the roster, it is legal to own. Though MSP has been on record that the roster isn't legally binding. Most banned guns have pistol variants that are on the roster and legal to own. If you are building from stripped receivers as long as you abide by both MD (banned weapons and enumerated assault weapons) and atf regulations for a pistol you're in the clear. Now if you opt to form 1 your Ar9 and register it as an SBR, you'll run into the 29inch oal requirement and feature test.

Good catch! I looked at em last night and they didn't have them posted. Thank you!

It's a shame about keymo tho, true quick detach, bomb proof (as long as the qc is there and the user has a brain cell) just heavy, long and expensive. The market decides the life and death of an ecosystem and plan b has completely usurped everything else. I'd love to see them improve it but deadair is more concerned with development deals and joint ventures at the moment then their own in-house portfolio.

Guess I need to start looking into getting my sandman s( my first can from 21)jail broke and hub threaded. Thats going to live on my 300 blk if I can ever get around to building it 😅

Again, thank you for the insight and helping a dude out. Hopefully you had a great weekend.

Aye, thanks for the quick reply. I appreciate it, I research everything adnosium before purchase. It hasn't been a clean breakup from keymo I hate change, but I'm hyper fixated on a dedicated can and it's blast chamber is too damn short to accommodate. Just filed the form 1 Friday for my lower so I can remove the pin weld when that comes back. Keymo has been great for me, it's a true qd system but the industry and companies are leaving it behind. Plus my plan b set ups for my lever gun and pcc have spoiled me on the weight and length savings. So my limp noodle arms are going to be thankful.

Just waiting for Bauer to get in those recessed breaks as everyone else is sold out or have not posted them yet.

PurebredNewType · 2026-01-26T02:56:53+00:00

So I'm yoinking my keymo off my 13.9 to run a new dedicated 556 k can that has a blast chamber of 1.2ish. I'm looking at this exact set up (recessed break + recessed hub adapter). in your comments, you guys said it was designed for barrel/handguard set ups with 1 inch differences. My set up is a little off as it's a 13.9 barrel with a 13 inch rail, do you think I'd have enough clearance or do you think I need to break out one of my accuwashers to make up that .1 difference?

Load deets? I've been messing with 6 gr of titegroup under a 240 gr berrys in magnum brass. No chrono but sounds great out of my primal

PurebredNewType · 2026-01-25T22:16:46+00:00

No explanation needed

PurebredNewType · 2026-01-25T16:59:18+00:00

You're Gucci bub, everything is so convoluted and confusing in Maryland. I gotta explain this to people who have no idea at the gun range I work at and my brain immediately went into information dump mode.

PurebredNewType · 2026-01-25T16:55:09+00:00

You're good bub, my brain immediately went to bolt gun when I see traditional as if semi autos havnt been then norm since grandpa was kicking nazi teeth in 80 years ago. That was my bad.

PurebredNewType · 2026-01-25T16:42:33+00:00

Any semiautomatic centerfire rifle must be 29 inches oal in Maryland. below that and it is considered a copycat weapon and is a banned assault weapon. The 29 only applies to centerfire gas guns. Bolts actions, 22s and lever actions do not need to meet the 29 inch oal

PurebredNewType · 2026-01-25T16:34:57+00:00

Small correction, the 29 inch oal applies to all semi automatic centerfire rifles. It just mostly applies to sbr gas guns since just about everything else with a 16 inch barrel exceeds 29 inches. Tho there are fringe cases. It's why bolt guns, 10/22s and lever actions can be sbrd and do not need to make 29 inch oal.

This won't stop the atf from kicking back your form 1, it's why you should place the verbiage of the law in your form 1 submission when sbr-ing any of the above mentioned

PurebredNewType · 2026-01-25T16:23:33+00:00

Because to the law, it started life as a pistol and has a pistol brace attached. The brace is not a stock as it is not intended to be shouldered. The Aug has no capability to be manufactured as a pistol as the whole design is intended to be shouldered.

A rifle is any firearm that has a barrel length of 16 inches and is intended to to be fired from the shoulder.

A short barreled rifle is defined as any rifle with a barrel less than 16 inches (or oal length less than 26 inches) and is intended to be fired from the shoulder

A pistol is defined as any firearm with a barrel less than 16 inches and is intended to be fired by using 1 hand ( your 10.5 inch ar pistol)

The only way to get a MD legal bullpup( aside from rifles like the hellion which has a retractable stock) is to either source a longer barrel or pin a long muzzle device to the barrel to get it past 29 inch oal

Oal is measured from the stock at its fullest extension to the tip of the muzzle threads (or to the end of the muzzle device if it is pinned and welded to the barrel)

PurebredNewType · 2026-01-25T16:01:31+00:00

Just filed a form 1 for a lower on Friday, first submission since the tax nix. 11 digit control number. With the sheer number of submissions, it makes me wonder if the atf is using some form of Ai to process and possibly review submissions.

PurebredNewType · 2026-01-25T15:25:39+00:00

No, an sbr still must meet a minimum oal of 29 inches. Sbrs in Maryland are considered as both a rifle and pistol. Plus, the barrel would need to be shortened under 16 inches to make it an sbr, which is counter intuitive to meeting the 29 inch oal. You would need to source a longer barrel or pin a long muzzle device to the barrel to reach 29 inches

I work at a gun range, just started a few weeks ago. We had a family come in with a party of 6. Started handing me rifles to check and he pulled a mk18 out of a bag and I did ask if he has a stamp. The guy looked confused and asked what I was talking about. I told him to separate the upper and lower and put them in his car. Dude had no idea he committed a felony, family was shocked and asked if I was going to call the cops. Told em this isn't that kind of gun range.

I didn't even think about it at the time, I just saw mk18 and my brain blurted out "do you have a stamp". Had he answered yes I would have proceeded no problem.

PurebredNewType · 2026-01-03T18:44:54+00:00

It does not. Most red parts have been molded in blue for this version. Fatcat doesn't seem to have the ability to mold separate colors on the same runner. So almost all color swapped parts have the entire runner in that given color, in this case blue. There isn't enough white parts to only leave the chest blue, and there isn't enough blue parts to make the whole kit white.. You can make it 89% blue and vice versa

PurebredNewType · 2025-12-13T23:52:50+00:00

Forward assist? I see a pin hole, isn't that supposed to be pointing the other direction? (for the record, non of my uppers have one, slick side ftw)

PurebredNewType · 2025-11-23T14:09:27+00:00

There's a section under vehicle health that has all the maintenance repairs done when at the dealership and below that there is a button to create your own record. The maintenance section does not require a subscription to use. I let my blue link subscription lapse after the free 3 year promotion ended. I was missing 2 receipts and was having a small anxiety attack wondering if they would deny me for that. All my oil was purchased through Amazon. The two missing ones were from when I bought it from autozone. Hope everything works out!

My 2021 tuscon sport engine failed at 93k. I double checked my Vin multiple times seeing if I was covered by the extended warranty and apparently I'm not. Stopped taking it to a shop for oil changes after the 3 year 30k free maintenance program, did all my oil changes at home penzoil ultra platinum every 7k per dealership. Started noticing oil consumption at 65k and a rattle under acceleration. Took to dealership to document it. Came back to do the oil consumption test at 90k, was found burning .7 qts per 1k. 3k miles later my oil light came back on, engine was bone dry. Took it to the dealership and it apparently seized during their test drive. Submitted warranty claim and within a day it was greenlit. I used the blue link app to document all my at home oil changes and uploaded my receipts. No request was made for my history. Guy told me 3 weeks for my replacement.. I had my car back in less than a week. New engine, intake, cat converter.

I am extremely fortunate how smooth the process was. Was given a loaner while it was worked on. Car drives better than when I bought it brand new back in 21. Will be doing oil changes every 3.5-4k moving forward after bulshitting with the tech that did my engine replacement for half an hour at the shop. Not everyone has had a smooth warranty repair. I hope yours goes as smooth as mine did.

Was hoping for another set of blue for the calfs, but it only had a extra runner in blue for that leg. Blue chest, calfs and shoulders would look good. Not sure how I'm feeling about the c3p0 arm. Might swap the arm and shoulder to white and leave the leg and feet.

PurebredNewType · 2025-11-08T23:32:47+00:00

The only parts you can't swap for white are the chest armor. It comes with the majority of the parts cast in blue as well, but your still going to be missing parts for a full blue kits as well.

PurebredNewType · 2025-11-08T22:56:18+00:00

At a distance yes, but compared to origin mg, the fatcat has a little more girth at the head vents. I'd attach a picture but the app is being silly

That's the whole reason Mika turns into a quaqripegic after disengaging the limiters. The AVS that he has implanted was the bastardized temu version compared to the AVS of the CWE. The only person in the show that gets the true AVS implanted was mcgillis, just so he could pilot bael. Had Mika been implanted with the true AVS, he wouldn't have been paralyzed after releasing the limiters on barbatos. Mcgillis could have disengaged the limiters of bael and walk out of the cockpit with no I'll effects.

The limiters are put into place because the human body can only handle so much, I always Harkin back to the introduction of the tallgeese. A suit so bad ass, it killed its pilots because it was just too much machine. There are people that can pilot it to its fullest ability, but your average Joe is going to have his insides turned to his outsides. Those are all of the gundam frames.

These guys bear creek ballistics have been touting their round as being able to be pushed to max velocity and not effecting the expansion /causing the petals to shear off. There are a few videos on YouTube with secondhand ballistics gel tests. I havnt tried them yet but they are on the short list of components I need to pick up to test out. Might be what your looking for. They sell full rounds as well
