AWB Question

muss
If the AWB sunsets this fall[:D][8D], What happens to all the "post ban sample[:(]" and le/mil restricted stuff? Will us common folk be able to purchase this stuff. I am not looking at the full auto, but the guns and all that are "pre ban" configuration that came out after the ban. Also the Mags that are in the same situation.

    You have confused different weapons & different regulations.

    The term "AWB" is really a misnomer; a more accurate term would have been "so-called Assault Weapon Ban", as none of the banned weapons is an assault weapon. True assault weapons are full auto, & the AWB law does not address full auto weapons. The term "pre-(year) sample" does not apply to the AWB; it only affects Class 3 (full auto) weapons.

    As to bayonet lugs, flash suppressors, & other evil features, no one knows what the manufacturers will do. Even if some manufacturers offer rifles with these features, they will not be "the same" as current "pre-ban" guns, which will probably always be worth at least some premium in NIB condition. No one ever "needed" a bayonet lug or flash suppressor; they just "wanted" a gun with these features because they were "banned". If they are available again, few people will care enough to buy a new one.

    The production of high cap mags will certainly resume, but no one knows if the status of marked "LE/mil" mags will change. At least, high cap mags will be cheap once again.
