I've been following the talk of gun bans for the last year and then following the insanity of this last panic I've seen many gun owners split right down the middle as to what will happen. I don't want to start a debate on any possible awb because Lord knows there are enough of them out there but I do have some specific questions I'm hoping for some feedback on. I have a BCM 14.5" inch upper with the flash hider permanently pinned to 16". Now with this set up would I just be up a creek if they passed legislation banning flash hiders with no grandfather clause? Is it possible to remove a permanently pinned flash hider without ruining a barrel? Would it be wise to order another barrel with a removable flash suppresor (if I could even find one right now). Please forgive my ignorance on this subject and thank you for any feedback in advance.
