Scipio, I'm not try to be a conspiracy theorist, but you do need to realize that "they" most certainly peruse this site quite frequently. I would not post anything such as that, it just fuels the fire. Chances are that no one would ever know the difference. Just a few days ago, I saw an illegally configured AR-15 in a LEO's gun store. He was under the impression that it was a genuine pre-ban, until I informed him that it was a pre-ban upper on a post-ban lower. It just goes to show that not all LEO's know what to look for. It is better to follow the letter of the law in such matters. "Assault weapon" owners have gotten a bad rap over the years, and we need to let the public see that most of us are law-abiding citizens who just enjoy shooting sports and firearms collecting. My advice is to keep the post-ban fixed-telestock on the rifle and enjoy it. I apologize if it sounds like I am ranting. I believe to each his own. This is just my two cent's worth.
