Post-Ban Lower Receivers

[Bailey Guns]

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.

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.

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

Depends upon the state, actually.

USGI 30 rounders were going for around $25 each at the time, that's the equivalent of about $37.50 today.

I remember a friend buying a beta drum at the time and paying $400 for it.

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

The reduction in bayonet crime was amazing during the ban.

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.

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 .

My understanding was that 922(r) was the result of the import ban that passed under Bush Senior and wasn't part of the 1994 ban on so-called "assault weapons."
