Maryland laws on semi-auto rifles?

[DirtyDigz 1,812]

I'm considering taking an Appleseed course in Maryland next month.  Haven't decided yet which rifle I'll use, but it will likely either be a 10/22 or an AR.  I'd only take 10 rd mags for either rifle.

Any "gotchas" I need to watch out for transporting into and possessing in MD?  Anything that MD has that is more restrictive than NJ?

The MSP list is rather extensive: https://mdsp.maryland.gov/Organization/Pages/CriminalInvestigationBureau/LicensingDivision/Firearms/FirearmSearch.aspx

"A person may not transport an assault weapon into Maryland for target competition unless the person lawfully possesses, has a purchase order for, or applied to purchase the weapon before October 1, 2013. Federal law allows a person to transport a firearm through Maryland but not to Maryland if the firearm is not in compliance with state law."

When it comes to AR's, they are pretty specific that the barrel matches an "HBAR" contour and/or should be marked as such. 

PS - I'd call and check with the MSP first.

This:

4) If this is a semi-automatic centerfire rifle that can accept a detachable magazine, does it have any two of the following: a folding stock; a grenade launcher or flare launcher; or a flash suppressor; If so, then it is banned and may not be purchased, sold, or transferred.

and below are less restrictive than NJ:

Colt	Colt AR-15, CAR-15, and all imitations except Colt AR-15 Sporter H-BAR rifle	Banned	Enumerated in Statute	10/1/2013

Then again, I can't see how this makes any sense:
