    Default Post-Ban Lower Receivers

    Were lower receivers available for sale during the 1994 AWB?

    Yes they were, in fact it was during the AWB that people started buying lowers and building ARs en masse.

    Almost every shop I went in to had at least a few in the case. Back then Bushmaster was king, if you wanted to go cheap it was Olympic arms.

    Bushy retailed for $99, back then I was buying a no name called "Stag" for $49. Now they are worth more than the Bushy.
    I say lets all remove the warning labels and let nature take its course.

    My dad bough four SKS rifles for $89 each when we lived in southwestern Kansas about six months before the ban, "on a gut feeling" he said. I was a kid and the ban expired when I was in the Army and I was too poor to buy anything cool.

    I missed all the fun.... So if lowers were available during the AWB, what wasn't available? Not much of a ban if you can still by the actual firearm part...

    About the only difference between a pre-ban AR and a post-ban was the post ban lacked a bayonet lug and a flash hider.

    When I was assembling AR?s during the ban I would usually take a standard barrel and grind off the lug and then permanently attach a muzzle break.

    It really wasn't a rifle ban. It was a "features" on a rifle ban. And mags were limited to 10 rounds for everything.

    All it did was make a "pre-ban" 17 round mag, like a G17 mag, that sold for $20 before the ban, sell for $150 or more during the ban.
