Can someone explain what the hype is about? I know what pre vs. post ban means as far as 1994 is concerned but why the hype now?
My state has no ban, so to me, an AR is an AR is an AR. Date of manufacture doesn't mean anything in a legal sence here. I know there are collector differences for non-fence, slick-side upppers, SP1, and whatnot. That I get.
By when I browse GB and others, I see stripped "pre-ban" lowers getting bids that are higher than I can stop by my LGS and pick up a Colt SP1 Sporter for.
I am wondering about this becuase I have a CAR15 (one I pieced together scrounging original parts over a years time) on a four digit Eagle Arms A1 lower. This is my favorite AR in my collection. I have a small pile of new Anderson lowers I am trying to figure out what to do with. I am considering changing out the lower to one of the cheaper Andersons to preserve the Eagle from being banged around in the Jeep or crashing around in the woods.
Second thought, is I wonder if there is real value to the old lower and maybe I could turn into a cool new gun, or guns, since some folks seem to realy be after these things.
So, what is the deal? Is there some market where these are legal to sell to "ban states" or is it just collectors driving things up?
