Maryland laws do suck, but they are miles better than here in NJ. You can own full auto firearms, suppressors, SBRs, and almost if not all of the NJ banned firearms list. 7 day wait for regulated firearms, otherwise NICs check and away you go with unregulated long guns and shot guns. Face to face transfers between Maryland residents of unregulated is OK, also. Mag capacity is 20 rounds instead of 15 like it is here.

It sounds like a stupid rule, but any store can set their own policy. Dick's may have a bunch of amateurs working there and their customer service needs work, but their prices are very competitive. Go look for what you want elsewhere, and then price it at Dick's. If the locals stores can't compete with their prices, then buy at Dick's. There sure are a lot of other things to get worked up about in this gun hating state, so why take it out on a retailer like Dick's? It is the environment that we live in here that makes them come up with those rules that they impose to protect themselves from the NJ laws. They are all gun paranoid...

I got a field grade from the CMP and put a Criterion .308 barrel on it and a new CMP walnut stock set. The Garand Guy put the barrel on and fixed a few problems with it. He also traded all parts that were not period correct with the right ones from his inventory for a very reasonable price, so now I have a 1/45 WW2 Garand that shoots pretty nice.

Dans ammo in western PA http://www.dansammo.com/firearms.asp has some perfect, almost unfired, all matching Yugo SKSs for $325 with all of the trimmings. A $50 transfer fee at Lincoln Park hardware includes the NICS check, so you're looking at an SKS for under $400 that will be one of the nicest that you can possibly find.
