Is this Legal in Washington,DC?
The DC restrictions say no threaded barrel (not under Semi rifle) all by itself makes it Illegal
I agree with you 100%, DC is not a state - But Buds lists it under "State Restrictions" and so does every one else including the BATF as it has regulations same as any state.
But DC is not a state
Here : gunsamerica.com/blog/50-state-legal-pump-ar-troy/
what I see is that because its a pump most of those restriction do not apply but on in the restrictions near the bottom it says The following are prohibited:
Magazines exceeding 10 rounds
.50 BMG ammunition
Collapsible/adjustable stocks
Stun Guns and TASERs
Defense Sprays
Batons
***********Threaded barrels****************
Air guns (pneumatic, spring, or BB) firing projectile exceeding .18” (i.e. .22 cal. Prohibited)

I'd be very careful, and perhaps check with the manufacturer or Bud's before ordering as there are a number of items you cannot have on a semi auto rifle in D.C. Including: telescoping stock, flash hider, detachable magazine, or pistol grip. All of which this rifle appears to have. Bud's will not modify a firearm to make legal either.
The way I read the restrictions I would say that it is NOT legal in DC I believe it would be legal because it is a pump and only 10 rounds in the Magazine but the fact that it has a threaded barrel makes it illegal. I would check with my local FFL holder to make sure of any local laws that may affect it budsgunshop.com/catalog/feeds/state_reg/washington_dc_restrictions.pdf on page 3 it says no threaded barrels
Looks Ok to me! Enjoy it! The following are prohibited:
