Let's be optimistic, and assume the so-called assault weapons ban (along with its limited-capacity magazine mumbo jumbo) becomes a not-so-fond memory of less civilized times ...

Post-ban rifles ... will we be able to thread the barrels, and install the fearsome flashhiders? Perhaps even the frightening, but exhilarating collapsible stock? What do we do with gold-plated magazines that say "for LEO use only"?

No kidding ... what is the practical manner we would deal with all the bureaucratic foolishness invented since '94?

Use it for practice at the range?

I mean, I can't see keeping a 10 rounder for self defense when given a choice for something else... but for the non threaded barrels, why screw up something that works fine? Just get another "post-post-ban" rifle set up how you want it with all the evil features and turn the one you have into a match gun.

All else fails, have someone switch out the non-evil parts for you (or do it yourself) - I can't imagine missing a bayonet lug on a rifle so you are only really talking about a folding stock and flash suppressor. Nothing too difficult.

It all goes away!!!

the only problem I see (other than the bottom dropping out of the 10 rd mag market for anything under .45 ACP) will be all those mags stupidly labelled 'law enforcement only' or some such...though I expect they will eventually become collectors items in the same manner as some of those weird french bolt action rifles are...
