Just curious. I have several guns that were bought before the "ban". Now that its over do these guns have any more or less value? If I have a Bushmaster AR from before the ban VS a brand new one?

I think that price is way high but I hope it helps.
The ban expired. Does not mean a thing now days.
Could mean something in California, New York, or other states that still have the ban.
Could make some decent cash off of them selling to people in those states.

What a swell place to live, eh? I think that is all the same as the national AWB, but there was no sunset for NY.
When I lived there (over a year ago) a standard pre-ban AR was going for $1500-2000. A stripped lower fetched $300-400.
in colorado it means, they either horded before the clinton ban or payed too much, and they want to pass the "savings" on to you.
Pre-89 import means no 922r games. Can go 100% import parts.
So what you are saying is that the *Federal* AWB of 1994 is still being enforced or have some states adopted their own version of the 1994 AWB ban?Quote:

New York enacted a duplicate AWB in 1994. The only difference is there is no expiration date. Pretty sure otherwise it is exactly the same.Quote:

Ditto. anything that has a serial # verifiable as mfg prior to 9/94 meets the criteria of ownership in NY, Mass and a few other "Constitutionally NON-Compliant" states.Quote:

What a Country.............................
A lot of people take the risk with unmarked mags. If it doesn't have a date stamp (as most pre-ban mags don't, since it wasn't required) but was manufactured by a company that existed before the ban, that is usually "good enough" in a lot of people's eyes.Quote:
