Color me confused Ar15

[Red Cent]

I have discovered this:

"It should be clearly noted that it is a felony to possess a Post-Ban (newly assembled after Sept 13, 1994) assault weapon. Please note that BATF has ruled that "Pre-ban" and "Grandfathered" are two different things. A Pre-ban lower is only grandfathered if it: 1. was a complete rifle prior to 9/13/94; 2. possessed two banned features (pistol grip and CAR stock assembled); or 3. was part of a complete weapon kit, either assembled or not. This list does not discern between "Pre-ban" and "Grandfathered" as it is very nearly impossible to find that detail of information."

"By the serial number on the receiver. It can be dated to a specific year and that will confirm the receiver's "born on" date. You can't be 100% sure that all the bits and pieces were on that receiver at that time, however. All you can do is confirm that a particular receiver was built in a particular month/year but that's all you need to do, anyway."
Post on a pre-post thread.

"Yes, you can mix-match parts as if the law never happened. ..however you can only assemble a semi-auto firearm with no more than 10 foreign made pieces of the ATF defined parts."
Another post.

Guess this for the "evil" states.

I have a pre ban Stag Arms. Or a Stag Arms that was built after the ban expired?

The commentary refers to the 1994 federal AWB - not sure how relevant it is to the various state AWBs and how they are interpreted by those states.

Stag Arms didn't exist in 1994, so I am pretty sure it is post-ban. The good news is that unless you live in a state with its own AWB, it isn't an issue.

BR did better than I could.

If it is so impossible, why even put them in two separate classifications.

I know this thread is going to be locked soon but I had to make that observation.

Isn't the 94 AWB void now? Is someone worried the feds might charge them with violating the law at some time between 1994 and 2004?

 

[Red Cent]

Locked? Are we not talking about firearms? Is the basic question baseless? And this is Rifle Country, isn't it?

Since the barrel is threaded and not pinned, apparently it is a legal post ban.

 

[Red Cent]

zhyla, no but I am confused/concerned about what kind of rifle I own.

And what about the rifle containing foreign parts? I am aware that I cannot use anything from a M16.

I have a Stag stripped lower purchased in about 2005. Post ban and no problems?

thread here in Rifle Country requires me to ask this question? If I live in a non-awb state, am I legally able to remove a pinned flashider and simply thread a comp on the barrel as long as it is 16"s?

The OP refers to the old AWB ban that no longer exits. And pre-ban/post ban deosn't matter anymore. I'm stockng up on a few stripped lowers in case this BS pops up again.

Barrel length is part of federal law that is not part of the AWB. Rifles must have a permanent barrel length of 16+ inches.

So if your barrel is 16" with out your FH, then you can remove it. If your barrel is 14.5" only, but 16" with your pinned FH, then you can't remove it. A FH threaded onto a 14.5 deos not count as "permanent". Needs to be pinned or welded.

CT still has an assault weapons ban with pre ban conditions just like in the federal ban(that is now expired). I think Mass might have one that is slightly different. That's why you see a discussion about it on northeastshooters.

"Needs to be pinned or welded."

All ARs? What if someone bought a Stag Arms Model 3 with the flash hider simply screwed on? From a gun store. Stag dealer.

That Stag has a 16" barrel I think? So the FH can just be threaded on. (In American states, not CT,MS,CA,NJ maybe)

Pre and post ban haven't mattered to most of the country for over 5 years now.
