If it left the factory as complete rifle before the ban then you can have the confidence that it is indeed a pre-ban. If it left the factory as a un-assembled lower you want to know what date it went out. What you have to be concerned about is whether or not the lower was assembled into a complete rifle before the deadline (Sept. 13(?), 1994). If it went out a year before the ban then hopefully it was assembled but if a month or less before the ban then the odds diminish significantly. If the seller has some sort of verification of assembly or a dated receipt of purchase of the original lower then that would be a help.
There are many arguments about un-assembled 'pre-ban' lowers, just realize it is a very gray area. |

If it did not leave the factory as a complete weapon, then it becomes questionable. According to most on this site, if it left the factory as a lower only, the person who assembled it before the '94 AW Ban must provide a notorized letter stating that it was assembled prior to 9/94. What it boils down to is: how does one prove that it was assembled before the cut-off date? Just because the lower was manufactured before 9/94 does not make it a pre-ban. All Colts left the factory as complete rifles, so the letter is not needed for them.

Everyone keeps forgeting that if it was owned before the ban with all the parts to make it an evel black rifle (as in a kit), that it is also a legal pre ban.
