The MD roster lists the Galil Ace SAR, not the GAP556 or GAP556SB, is this the same or similar? Have advice to get one of these in MD?

The only difference is the SB comes with a stabilizing brace, where as the gap556 comes with out. U don't see anything on the MD page that specifically bans braces and this is th same gun your good to go. https://www.budsgunshop.com/feeds/state_reg/maryland_restrictions.pdf

YES, MD LEGAL. However, the 30rd Magazine is not legal in MD, contact Buds customer service to ship the firearm with reduced capacity or without the mag. I hope this helps!

David, The firearm is not prohibited in MD. Only the standard capacity magazine that is MD prohibited. Just request BUDs to pull the standard capacity magazine. Then buy your own MD restricted Galil magazines.

David, the Brace does not change the classification as a Handgun/Pistol however, the 30rd Magazine is a no no in MD. Details under Handguns here : https://www.budsgunshop.com/feeds/state_reg/maryland_restrictions.pdf

Galil vs. Tavor! Which one is better? Someone said Galil is more reliable because of the AK feature?

SHENG, both are equal in quality and reliability. The Tavor would be my choice because of the compact Bullpup design which has a Shoulder Stock and longer barrel. It will be more stable and accurate when shooting, have approximately 5 to 600 fps higher velocity with the same ammunition while still being compact. It has the best versatility of the two firearms. Cheers!

Sheng Z, Depending what you want it for, your POU. I would take the Galil over the Tavor if I had to choose one of the two.Totally different. You want a pistol or a bullpup?
