Building considerations - Pre & Post Ban

[spencerhenry]

i dont know all the facts, but here it is as i understand it.
1 pre-ban can have all the good stuff, bayonet lug, hi-cap mags, flash hider, pistol grip, collapsible stock, etc...
2. during the ban a gun couldnt have alot of the fun stuff, could only have some fun stuff.
3. after the ban, back to before the ban on new production and pre-ban produced guns, but guns made when the ban was in effect can not be converted to pre-ban or post- post-ban configuration.

my class 3 dealer told me this, and he is kind of a whack so it may not be true, and in reality, what law enforcement person is going to know by serial # if the receiver was manufactured during the ban.
it would be good to know for sure, as i am sure some gung ho cop would be happy to cite someone for having a post ban gun an illegal configuration. it used to be innocent until proven guilty, now it is guilty until you can afford to prove the state wrong.

<---- not an attorney.

The odds of you even being contacted by DPD are minimal. The odds of you being contacted for anything other than traffic are miniscule. The odds of you being arrested for having a 30 round mag incident to a lawful DPD contact are almost non existent.

That ordinance is used by DPD to selectively target dirtbags, not law abiding citizenry.

I am a metro area LEO, FWIW.

(CCWs don't legally negate C/C of Denvers gay AWB, but we know a good guy when we see one.)

3. is false - once the ban expired, anyone not stuck in a jurisdiction with its own local ban was free to retrofit ban-era guns into pre-ban (now "no-ban") configuration.

Ban issues from the now-expired 922(v) and mag size issues from the now-expired 922(w) are separate from "non-sporting imported firearm features" aspects of 922(r), which is still in effect.
