    Sort of. The ban pretty much limited you to a certain number of cosmetic features. Technically you could have kept the threaded barrel and bayonet lug if you gave up other features like the pistol grip or whatever.

    Even the ten round magazines really only applied to new production magazines since all of the standard capacity magazines were still perfectly legal to buy, sell, or own. Although at the astronomical prices you mentioned.

    Yeah, if the D's are successfull in passing another AWB you can bet there will be two things that won't make it into this one that were part of the 94 ban 1) grandfathering and 2) a sunset provision.

    This. The ban was about cosmetics. One of the pain points was collapsible stocks.

    The reduction in bayonet crime was amazing during the ban.

    The officers made out like thieves buying mags for their guns then reselling their "old mags" to the stores for an astronomical price that was then passed on to the public.

    Every AWB bill since 2013 (2013, 2015, 2017, 2018, 2019) has included grandfathering.

    I purchased some magazines directly from several LEO?s for normal prices. I would offer them cash for their ?old magazines? and they would take the money and buy their new magazines at normal prices. In other words I?d give the guy $40 for a couple of his Glock mags and he would just buy himself two brand new LE-only magazines.

    You forgot sec 922r. Requiring foreign guns to have no more than 10 foreign parts. Which is still in effect.. AK's had H/T/S, hand guards, pistol grip, butt stock , gas piston, magazine base plate & follower.

    FN's were using charging handles, furniture, gas piston , H/T/S , mag floor plate and follower.


    922 parts mfg did very well back then. Of course those were the days of $100 FN - Herstal Belgium parts kits from FAC, Federal Arms Corp Now morphed / absorbed in to Tapco

    Damn, the AWB was good for American Ingenuity. Pass a law we'll work around it, legally .

    Depends upon the state, actually.
