Last night I stopped at a local gunshop with a friend. It is owned by an LEO. I noticed he had a couple of AR-15's, which is something he has never stocked before. I noticed he had a pre-ban and asked to see it. It was a Bushmaster in pretty good shape with a decent price. It definitely had a flash suppressor (not muzzlebrake) and a bayonet lug. I memorized the serial number and checked it out when I got home. If I am reading the serial number listings right, it is a post-ban lower with a pre-ban upper on it. I e-mailed the gentlman and told him he had better check it out, but have not heard a response yet. The serial number was L1247XX. This is a post-ban lower, is it not? If it is, it just goes to show that even LEO's don't fully comprehend the '94 AW Ban. Here is the serial number listing I got:
Bushmaster
Below L051000 - Assembled Pre-Ban Rifles and some pre-94 lowers.
L051001-L063000 - Mixed Pre-Ban Assembled Rifles and Pre-Sept 94 Lowers
L063001 and Up - Post-Ban.
