Is the ARML DEF15 legal in Maryland?

Tom, not MD compliant, AR rifles not otherwise prohibited must possess a heavy-barrel contour (no cutouts).” budsgunshop.com/feeds/state_reg/maryland_restrictions.pdf

Sorry but no this is not md compliant.

sorry its not MD legal "“AR rifles not otherwise prohibited (see above) must possess a heavy-barrel contour (no cutouts).” But I would double check with my local FFL as he should know the latest rules

Tom, unfortunately it is not as it has an M4 Cut Barrel and 30rd magazine. MD requires a Heavy Barrel and 10rd magazine capacity. Details under Rifles here : https://www.budsgunshop.com/feeds/state_reg/maryland_restrictions.pdf

i'm new to ar's will any rifle scope mount fit on the rail i think i would like a scope for longer distance rather than a red dot any opinions thanks

Yes Jack. The Picatinny Rail is pretty much universal in types of scope mounts it will take. I recommend the Burris Scope Mount here in 1" or 30mm depending on your scope diameter. https://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/product_info.php/products_id/72957/Burris+410342+Proper+Eye+Position+Ready+30MM+Quick+Release+S & a 5.56/223 calibrated scope : https://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/product_info.php/products_id/80144/Nikon+P-223+3-9X40+600+Matte

Hi Jack, Most scopes will fit this rifle as long as you use the correct rings. Some scopes come with picatinny rails too. any of those will fit.

with the proper rings to fit the rail any scope will fit. some scopes come with rings set up to fit the picatinny rail

I had a good experience, price match is great. I ordered a rifle from Buds Gun Shop, without notification, I received the rifle with a same plane gas block rail but it was advertised as lowered gas block rail height. It’s a nice new rifle however it’s just not exactly what was advertised.

This is one of the better value AR platforms out there. I have put mine through a patrol rifle course and it did well. The barrel is legit and the area a lot of people overlook. It is chrome lined and 1/7. Mine shoots lights out.

Thanks to Bud's layaway, another weapon in my collection. Buds has been great, I just wish somehow they would speed up Settling with bank when you transfer funds. Takes 5 days. Armalite Defender, great rifle, no complaints, highly recommend. Wish Bud'd would have layaway on all firearms, 180 days On some of the more expensive (1k+) layaway would be Appreciated it.
